Vegetarian Crispy Rolls & La Maison Tofu

Alas, I have succumed to that most dreaded of all dreaded head colds, the summer head cold. What could be more incongruent that summery days, heirloom tomatoes, basil, swimming, and a "will my head explode?" cold.

But even a summer head cold has it's silver lining. An excuse for high protein take-out. Back I go to La Maison de la Reine (Contemporary Vietnamese Cuisine) in Corte Madera for two delicious "no matter where your taste buds are" vegetarian dishes. Above, the incredible Vegetarian Crispy Rolls (deep fried roll stuffed with taro root, cabbage, carrots, and soy bean cake. Served with a vinaigrette sauce) . Honestly, these may be my favorite deep fried "rolls" of all time.

And, definitely in need of a big helping of tofu, the La Maison Tofu was outstanding, with green beans, broccoli, and baby corn. Marked as spicy on the menu, this wasn't even vaguely spicy by my standards. If you're a local, check this place out. The friendly service, delicious aromas, clean, bright space, along with the fab food, will bring you back.
