Fresh and Healthy Lunch @ Rulla @ Helsinki

I had known about the shop but hadn’t known that they were serving such lovely lunch. When we were talking about going for lunch, I remembered that the friend had mentioned she had been to eat Vietnamese rolls before. So, I said I would like to try it and we went to Rulla today. Their food was fresh and healthy. I liked that we could eat a lot of vegetable, beans and nuts.

以前友達が話していた生春巻きの食べられる店。今日のランチはその友達と一緒にその生春巻きを食べに行った。通りの名前を聞いたときは、そんな店あったっけ?と思ったのだが、それは見たことのある素敵っぽいお店の一角にあるカフェコーナーだったのだ。

At 9.30€, we could choose three different Vietnamese rolls and salad. There were two different kinds of salad you could choose. Both of us chose sweet potato salad. (I chose it as I like it and it is one of the super foods :)) My choices of Vietnamese rolls were salmon+avocado, duck, and spicy shrimp+mango. As soon as we ordered, we said we wouldn’t be able to finish the dishes. Salad was plenty and spring rolls were not that small.

ランチのチョイスはいろいろあるのだが一番量も値段も少なめのセットは9.30€。いくつかあるチョイスから3つの春巻きが選べて、さらに2種類あるサラダから1つ選べるというもの。オーダーして出てきたものを見て、びっくり。たっぷりのサラダとそんなに小さくない生春巻き。オーダーの時点で”絶対食べきれないね~”と確信する我々。そしてやっぱりサラダを少し残すことになった。おいしかったのに残念・・・。

私が選んだ春巻きはサーモンとアボカド、鴨肉、そしてエビとマンゴーのスパイシー味。サラダはさつまいものサラダを。とにかく野菜がいっぱい。フレッシュでヘルシーなランチを堪能したのだった。

We didn’t find knives and we concluded we had to eat rolls with fingers. I actually had tried to use  two folks to cut the rolls in edible size at first but it didn’t work.The filling came out from the wrap and it didn’t stay as a roll. (would have been the same if I used knife!). Also the wet wipe convinced us it is finger food 🙂

ちなみにこの春巻きはフィンガーフード。手で食べるようにお手拭もついてくる。

Rulla is small part of an organic shop which not only sells lovely organic cosmetics but also nicely designed clothes and the other cool stuff. We looked at the stuff after having lunch, of course 🙂

そしてランチの後はオーガニックショップであるその店内でいろいろ吟味。素敵なオーガニックコスメやお洋服、そしてちょっとしたインテリアグッズなど、表参道にありそうな雰囲気である。毎週末散歩しながら表参道のお店を覗いていた東京での生活をちょっと思い出したりするランチタイムだった。
