Su Life: for the brave, the lucky, and the experienced.
I absolutely love this place. It used to be called Huo Fo and was in Sunny Park shopping centre, then they closed and reopened about a year layer, cheaper, as Su Life. The decor is either atrocious or non existent, depending on your point of view, the seats are covered in hard plastic, and if you sit outside - you're sitting on the walkway beside the car park.
The best food here is the fried stuff. And I don't mean shallow-fried, I mean, deliciously dripping in oil.
All food is vegetarian, and 95% is vegan - dishes containing egg are in their own subsection. You can't go wrong with entrees - my favourites are the golden pancake (flaky, fried, and delicious, topped with vegan mayo), the calamari, the xin bao mushroom chunk, and if you're hungry and feeling brave - the BBQ combination platter.
The mains are extremely hit and miss, but when they hit - they hit the mark superbly. When they miss, they're never terrible, just kinda "meh". The spicy crispy chicken is a must must must must must-have - crispy, chewy fried vegan chicken with a sweet, red, almost smoky sauce, served alongside red capsicum, celery and cashews. Ive never seen someone disappointed with this dish, and you wont want to share. Although nothing like ribs, the vegetarian ribs are sublime tasting and once again, sticky and sweet. If you're lucky and you ask nicely, they might even make lemon chicken for you, which isn't in the menu.
Su Life is delicious, but it's best to stick to your favourite menu items. And once you have tried the above, you won't even be tempted by other things - they're that good. read more
