Comments:

  • Amazing vegetarian food - I was surprised how much umami they were able to get into the food without any meat bases

  • I saw a lot of mushroom and a lot of tempeh used in their dishes which is great

  • The mushrooms that were used in the rendang had the texture of chicken and wonderfully had a nice bite to them, paired with the herbs that were fried down to release their aromas

  • Tempeh fries were super crispy and the laksa broth was pretty impressive as well

  • I actually loved the food and would come back because everything was well executed
