Blossoming Lotus in Newtown meets the criteria for vegans, students, quick lunch needs and just a plain old good cheap feed. Fill your plate for less than $10 and feel good about it. There's almost a spiritual presence in the back of Blossoming Lotus. There's a Buddhist shrine, statues of gods and a frieze at the back wall which possibly represents the story of the Dragon King and the lotus flower. Basically a story of a man down on his luck, daughter gets sacrificed to a dragon, she turns into a lotus, falls in love with the Emperor and meets her blind father once more at the wedding. Usual family stuff.
had the pad thai, green curry and ananas kicked and I must say I expected more due to the promising reviews. the rice noodles were boiled, the green curry tasted more like kokosmilch and the ananas fried rice was not the best and it did not go well with the vegan meat flakes. the food warns hot steaming when it was served, it felt like it was sitting in the kitchen before it was served. it was also waiting a long time. the service was quite good. Overall, it was not a pleasant experience and if I plan to return, I would simply settle with the Takeaway dishes because it looks much more appetit and fresh.
To satisfy our Thai craving, we visited this quaint little eatery in Newtown. What the place lacks in restaurant ambience, it more than makes up for in wonderful and tasty food. I took a curry plate, whereas my wife tried the Black Bean and Tofu Fry. Being used to and liking a spicy taste to the food, both of us found the dish to be on the bit blander side, which was fixed by adding some chilli sauce. However, the black bean and tofu fry was quite peppery and could have done with less pepper. ..
Many years ago, when I worked in Newtown, before my weekly reiki practice sessions, I would often eat with a colleague, who was vegetarian. This was probably our favourite place. I’m glad to see it’s still around, well-loved by Zomato, and still serving tasty food. It’s a bit of a hole in the wall, and I like that feel. From my work trips in Bangkok around that time, I can tell you that this place has got a very similar feel to casual eateries dotted around the city.
