M CAFE DE CHAYA- BEVERLY HILLS
Where We Went: M Cafe in Beverly Hills
Why We Went: After a long week of glutenous eating, we wanted to do a body good and headed out for some macrobiotic food which we have heard so much about. We also had a 30% off coupon from Blackboard Eats, which didn’t hurt, so we called up Francis and Heidi who are regulars to show us the ropes.
What We Wore:
Amanda: Equipment Silk Shirt, Vintage Denim Shorts, Urban Outfitters Tights, Jeffrey Campbell Wedges, Vintage Belt, Ray Ban Sunglasses
Sarah: Vintage Dress, Zara Booties, Vintage Belt
Julia: Seneca Rising Jumper, Barney’s Label Sweater, Marc Jacobs Handbag, Sanuk Shoes
What We Ate:
Albacore Tuna Salad Sandwich $9.75 with romaine lettuce, sliced tomato and red onion on your choice of multigrain, sourdough or wrapped in a whole wheat lavash
Big Macro Combo $11.95 The Big Macro & Small Fries with glass of Iced Minty Green Tea or Lemonade
The Bento Box (served cold) $8.50 (veg) with assorted steamed vegetables, inari sushi, soba noodle salad, housemade pickles and carrot-ginger dressing with Teriyaki-Glazed Tofu
Kale with Spicy Peanut Dressing & Sesame Soba Noodle Salad $7.45
Chocolate Cake $4.50
What Made Us Laugh: Julia’s paparazzi-like camera direction and clicker speed while we posed on Rodeo. We heart our new Canon Rebel.
What We Learned: Macrobiotic eating is all about whole foods, natural foods eaten in season, and little to no food processing. M Chia Cafe has created tasty items without the inclusion of eggs, dairy, red meat, poultry, or refined sugars. It’s pretty similar to being a Vegan, yet you can enjoy fish and other creatures from the sea. Also, be sure to check out Heidi’s blog- Hyperkult- for some of her fashion and food finds!
