Note: nosotros arranged this dinner intending to pay our neb inward full. We received 1 entree together with a bottle of non-alcoholic sparkling vino without accuse during our visit.
We were both excited together with wary when Vegie Mum Doncaster restaurant, but tin flaming the Brunswick St eatery strip actually back upward some other veg restaurant, allow solitary more Buddhist-style mock meat? I swung dorsum solely to excitement when Steph spontaneously invited me together with Danni to part equally many dishes equally possible amongst her during their opening week.
The atmosphere was real celebratory, amongst the eatery possessor owning the flooring all night, red-ribboned good-luck bouquets spilling out of the foyer, together with many customers recognised equally family, friends, together with customers of the Doncaster restaurant. We were treated to a twain of costless items, together with it's unclear whether they were extended to all diners that night, or a piffling something extra because Danni allow sideslip that in that place was a blogger at our table.
The Pei King duck ( $9) was all our idea, though. This wasn't the dense, 5-spice-flavoured duck I'm most accustomed to, but a lighter layered yuba amongst a frail crispy skin.
Soon after, the possessor cheerfully pressed a bottle of Mango Tango sparkling potable on us together with urged us to sample a Chinese salami that the chef has been playing around with. It had the dots of fatty that evoke smallgoods, together with to a greater extent than of that crispy yuba peel I was cracking on, non to advert an impressive carved carrot garnish.
The balance of the repast was our choice. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 bowl of Mapo Tofu ($18) was only mildly spicy, amongst veges rather than a mock mince. By comparison, the Char Kuay Teow ($13) was studded amongst at to the lowest degree ii kinds of mock meat, together with the best variety of slippery-smoky noodles.
The eatery possessor together with Steph exclaimed together over the Nyonya Fish ($15), together with they were justified inward doing so. I think, though, that Danni together with I were ultimately to a greater extent than excited yesteryear the Shanghai sugariness together with sour pork ribs ($19), picking them off their wooden 'bones' together with dragging them through equally much sauce equally nosotros could.
We'd strategically over-ordered to have got leftovers home, together with had only plenty room to part dessert. The banana fritter ($8) does the job, together with is served amongst dairy-based icecream (though Steph duly informed them near the tardily vegan alternatives available only downwards the street at the Cruelty Free Shop).
And that's the 1 fry warning: although most of the bill of fare is vegan (and I suspect that it is all vegan adaptable), it's non clearly labelled. Speak upward when they're taking your gild together with there's a expert lead chances all volition endure well. Coeliacs volition likely have got a tougher fourth dimension of it.
We, at least, had a terrific fourth dimension of it. While I'm certain that first-opening exuberance volition calm downwards over the coming weeks, I'm hopeful that Vegie Mum volition found itself equally a welcoming together with well-attended veg*n eatery inward this competitive neighbourhood.
