Are you a veggie who likes the look of a non-veg dish? Then you might want to check out the Green Asian Food Festival at The Wall.

The pan-Asian restaurant at 31 Dr Sarat Banerjee Road is playing with mock meat. Which means “the food is vegetarian but tastes non-vegetarian”, said chef Sushanta Sengupta. “We use ingredients like soybean, tofu and wheat gluten to create the dishes.”

So, the Thai salad contains Ice Berg lettuce, snow peas and “mock chicken sausage made of soybean and wheat gluten”, and the Bean Curd and Vegetable Summer Roll is stuffed with vegetables, rice noodles and mock chicken sausages.

They have also created faux duck meat with vegetables — Duck Replacement Veggie Nuggets is served with pickled wild chillies, which you can have with Spicy Thai noodles, served with lemon, coriander and crushed peanuts.

On till September 7, the spread is available for lunch from 12.30-3.30pm, and for dinner from 7pm-10.45pm. A meal for two (a la carte) comes at about Rs 1,000 (taxes extra).
