Last weekend nosotros drew inspiration from Brianna's Southside staples article inwards the Enlightened Cuisine".
It gear upward a promising musical note amongst smiling, attentive staff, padded seating in addition to - happy sigh - gentle, non-fluorescent lighting. The length in addition to multifariousness of the carte du jour besides equals (and in all likelihood betters) the Enlightened Cuisine benchmark: at that topographic point are a dozen entrees in addition to one-half every bit many soups, mock meats inwards myriad preparations, tofu in addition to vegetables, noodles, roti in addition to rice. Vegan, gluten-free in addition to spicy-hot dishes are well-marked in addition to abundant (and include some g-f mock meat!). The mains hover some $20 each in addition to nosotros wondered whether they'd earn those extra twosome of bucks on their rivals.
The five Spice Loh-Bak Rolls ($7.50) finally showed me how bean curd wrapping is supposed to piece of employment out - light, flaky in addition to a lilliputian sweet. Instead of pork these were materials amongst dense, starchy taro.
The Kung Po Chicken ($19.50) was a mighty bowl (not done judge inwards this photo) of mock meat, vegetables in addition to roasted cashews coated inwards a thick, hot in addition to sweetness sauce. The capsicum, zucchini in addition to celery did direct keep a pleasing crispness to them in addition to the 'chicken' was genuinely a medley of tofu strips, to a greater extent than textured tofu squares in addition to chewy fried tofu puffs.
The Nasi Lemak ($12.80) made operate of the glutenous mock chicken chunks we're used to inwards its xanthous curry, along amongst to a greater extent than tofu in addition to some melt-in-the-mouth potatoes. The surprise imitator inwards this dish is the mushroom-based, particularly imported mound of mock anchovies!
Ren Dao's dishes for sure lived upward to their bespeak cost inwards both portioning in addition to quality. If exclusively we'd been heading immediately home, they would direct keep boxed upward the lastly of our Kung Po to direct keep amongst us. Actually, I wishing nosotros could box upward Ren Dao in addition to direct keep them habitation amongst us! They charge per unit of measurement highly across all my criteria: the kind of their menu, their fresh vegetables in addition to restrained deep-frying, extensive options for exceptional diets, comfortable surrounds in addition to lovely, unhurried service. On these counts they in all likelihood direct keep to a greater extent than inwards mutual amongst Veggie Kitchen than Enlightened Cuisine or White Lotus.
Actually, I intend Ren Dao is carving a niche all its ain inwards Elsternwick. We were heartened to come across it bustling in addition to boasting a demographic dissimilar to the inner north's veg*n hang-outs.
