The steeping room - Austin, Texas

Earlier this month my good friend took me to The steeping room for a light dinner before we went to see the bats of Austin. She was worried that I might not like it or that it wouldn't be filling enough but it was absolutely perfect. 

We had the scone set, rice paper rolls & the mezzo platter. I enjoyed it so much as it was such a nice light veg meal that I was craving it recently. I decided to recreate it yesterday and here's how I did:

Their rice rolls were super stuffed with lettuce, carrot & tofu. 

My version were smaller with lettuce, cucumber, carrots, avocado & vermicelli noodles. I added some shredded chicken as well only because I was trying to finish up the handful I had left. 

Their mezze platter.

My mezze platter. I added a roasted red pepper soup as I wanted this to be substantial enough for dinner. 

I think I did a pretty good job, don't you think? 
 
I was going to make scones too but as I am off to the UK soon for my sister-in-laws graduation, I figured I would just enjoy them there....with clotted cream. Yum!

Debating making sushi today vs. grocery store sushi. Decisions decisions...
