Other published opinions

The Age Cheap Eats 2009 "Many can find mock meats troubling. Rest assured the sesame duck, blackbean steak and other Chinesestyle vego items here are often better than the foods they're supposed to imitate"

The Age Cheap Eats 2008 "Melbourne's ultimate mock-meat venue is a mecca for vegos hankering after a more carnivorous life but without the guilt"

The Age Cheap Eats 2007 "Have a karmic dining experience at this legendary restaurant, where no creature was harmed for your protein-rich meal. A vegan who misses the taste and texture of fish should try Lotus's faux flapper: layers of ultra-thin beancurd and nori sheets doused in tamarind sauce and crafted to taste exactly like crispy skinned barramundi."

The Foodies' Guide 2004,Allan Campion & Michele Curtis,'This all-vegetarian restaurant has its roots strongly in Buddhism,yet the 'mock' meat dishes with amazing tastes and textures could fool any carnivore.Try the mock fish to see what we mean,which is layers of bean curd with nori added to give it a seafood taste.'
