Other Details:
Oriental Star Restaurant. Did someone say mock shrimp? Yes, the girl behind the counter at this Chinese-Thai fusion restaurant. Oriental has one of the most extensive vegetarian menus because if offers a mock version of almost every dish. But the “shrimp” are particularly remarkable-little cocked pinkies of dried soybean curd, the closest in comparison to real meat in look, taste and feel. Note the veiny bodies, the bounce-back. I struggled for a texture to compare these beauties with, and all I came up with was this: shrimp. (Oriental’s “pork,” by the way, is more hammy than ham.)
