This lovely arrangement is the ‘Kelp Noodle Salad Bowl’ at Hugo’s. It’s not on their regular menu but is currently a lunch special. The kelp noodles (which you can barely see under there) are topped with “julienned vegetables, sprouts, snow peas, cilantro and scallions. Tossed with orange-mango-sesame-chili dressing. Garnished with mixed sea vegetables, pickled ginger and toasted sesame seeds”. They offer a choice of protein, mine was the grilled tofu. It was fantastic, the dressing was very subtle and let the flavors of the other ingredients come through. The pickled ginger took it over the top.

I like to treat myself to their Green Tea Matcha latte once in a while. I get it with soymilk and vanilla which makes it just perfect. It’s also really good iced, but it was cold out today so the heat hit the spot.
