Adrienne took me to the new In the Bowl Vegetarian Noodle Bistro today, deeelish! The one month old noodle house resides where the infamous Cafe Messiah used to be on Olive Way. The menu offers a huge variety of options from soups, noodle dishes, stir fry and everything in between. Adrienne has been there 3 times since its opened, tried 3 different things and raves about all of them, now I'm a fan. A few cautions: I'm a girl who likes things spicy, no doubt. They have a standard 1-5 spicy scale, I went with 2 at Adriennes precaution and holy hell fire!! They are not fooling around! Also, they use the fake meats, personally I'm a fan, but Adrienne had her dish with "prawns" and it was gross and eerie. The texture was extremely accurate, taste wasn't good enough to get me over the texture. I ordered the curry rice noodle soup with chicken, Adrienne got some other rice noodle soup with the prawns, she admits this is the first meal shes had at the joint she wasn't all that fond of, could have been the prawns. My dish was amazing! Perfectly creamy, the curry was exquisite, the chicken was the usual fake chicken variety deliciously mixed into the curry, the rice noodles nicely nestled in the soup were filling in all the right ways. I recommend it.
