My daughter was at a cooking class in Richmond and as she would always eat dinner at her cooking class, I needed to find dinner for myself. After a bit of Google searching, I decided to try out Greenday Vegetarian. It's a food court stall, tucked away on the 2nd floor of Pacific Plaza building. I found it on the Fantuan app and decided to order my food through Fantuan; then go pick it up. There are two sides of the building with escalators that look nearly identical. Make sure to go up the one that's close to the Big Feet store!
After waiting several minutes past my requested pickup time and seeing that the app was still showing the message "Confirming your order", I went up to the food stall and inquired about it. It turns out, they don't actually do takeout orders anymore. They really shouldn't be listed on Fantuan anymore. The lady told me they only do dine-in. Well, I was OK with that as I had planned on eating there anyways. I just thought that pre-ordering for pickup through the app might make things quicker for me.
Even though they don't actually do takeout anymore and shouldn't be on the app, it's a good thing for me that they were still on the app, as the food stall only has Chinese menus and I don't read Chinese! Since I had read the menu on the app though, I was able to put in an order for Eggplant and Tofu on Rice. I was relieved that they had that as there were a couple of other items that I inquired about, having seen them on the Fantuan menu and it turned out, they no longer served it or else it needed to be ordered about 2 days in advance.
Well, the food was good. There was a very flavorful sauce used in the dish, and it was colourful which I always love. I was happy with my food but it sure was a bit of an ordeal trying to get my food from this place. Don't think I'll be going back there any time soon. I recommend this place only if you read Chinese, or if you've got someone who reads Chinese to accompany you!
