Every at nowadays in addition to then, ofttimes acre I'm St Kilda, Prahran in addition to eastward to Richmond, fifty-fifty acre roofing the vegetarian essentials inward Fitzroy. Now it's but equally good convenient to halt yesteryear our staple inner-north hang-outs amongst our (mostly) inner-north pals. But we're currently working on a piddling projection that we're hoping volition line us due south of the river to a greater extent than ofttimes inward the side yesteryear side few months.
It pulled us commencement to Colonel Tan's. Years agone @melbgastronome in addition to @eatingwithjack alerted us to their veg options, in addition to it but never happened. I felt instantly remorseful equally nosotros climbed the stairs in addition to entered the dining space. The glam-grunge agency warmed my inner-north hipster heart, the availability of both couches in addition to lightly padded retro chairs cheered my aging back, in addition to the DJ's indie Brit tunes were literally in addition to figuratively music to my ears. The cages some the DJ booth, upper bar in addition to kitchen window hinted at the messy nighttime social club incarnation of this venue that I in all probability didn't desire to stick some for.
At 6:15pm nosotros had our pick of the tables in addition to enough of fourth dimension to linger over the menu, though the dining expanse filled quickly some us. It's twisted Thai on offering - chicken in addition to edible bean curd are stuffed into "Chiko rolls", bolognaise gets a Bangkok makeover in addition to pork souvlakis are dressed amongst garlic, chilli in addition to soya edible bean sauce. Dietary features aren't marked but the menu's most one-third vegetarian, skewed towards the entree end. Vegans should practise OK, in addition to coeliacs would bespeak to focus on the curries in addition to stir-fries.
We started out amongst sweetness murphy in addition to cashew dumplings dipped inward chilli soy (foreground, $12.50) in addition to corn in addition to coriander fritters smothered inward sweetness chilli (background, $9.50). Both had lovely tender textures, but relied almost alone on their condiments for flavour.
Given the portion-to-price ratio of our entrees, nosotros would never bring predicted the bounty of chilli-salted fries to live had for $5.50. There was enough of mayo for dunking, too, hence they had us feeling pretty chipper.
The most fusion-fied of the vegetarian dishes is the tofu Whopper amongst peanut sauce ($9.50). It'd live no less hard to swallow it on your ain than it was to dissever betwixt the 2 of us - the somewhat silken battered tofu slides betwixt layers of tomato, cucumber, lettuce in addition to carrot, in addition to there's peanut sauce everywhere your fingers desire to be. It's a likeable burger, but it could practise amongst a piddling to a greater extent than heat.
Colonel Tan's lined upwards a lot for me to similar - a comfy spray-painted space, cocktails, mocktails in addition to a fun mash-up of a carte du jour - but the nutrient didn't quite brand the lastly smack-down.
