September 11, 2010: Veggie Kitchen

Update 31/12/2014: Rather sadly, Veggie Kitchen had a falling out amongst their landlords too were forced to close. We rest hopeful that they'll popular upwards somewhere else, but it's non looking promising.

Veggie Kitchen is a Taiwanese eating seat that opened inward Northcote trivial to a greater extent than than a calendar month ago. It established a here.)

Veggie Kitchen is run yesteryear 2 sisters who are potent advocates of the healing properties of healthful vegetarian foods, amongst many of their dishes inspired yesteryear the principles of Chinese medicine.  They become correct downwards to the basics, fifty-fifty making their ain tofu, saltation ringlet wrappers too soy milk. The carte du jour marks items containing wheat, dairy or egg clearly too nosotros found that the bulk of dishes were complimentary from all three.  Our host encouraged us to endeavour the banquet (at $28 per person) too nosotros were happy to oblige. 

The banquet begins amongst the lettuce please too a sprout apple tree soymilk. The lettuce filling of  tofu too crispy-fried enoki mushrooms did please us equally promised too the thick, slightly sweetness smoothie was pleasantly surprised this soy milk sceptic.

The entree featured a saltation ringlet too seaweed manus roll. Alfalfa sprouts made a light, fresh substitute for sushi rice inward the manus ringlet too the salty vegetarian ham was unexpectedly complementary. Our host besides pointed out the most odd chemical cistron of the dish - a konjac jelly flavoured amongst soy sauce (thanks to Toby for IDing this one!).

It was too thence that things got serious. Out came the 5 elements vege pots, amongst far to a greater extent than than 5 ingredients apiece. The veges' flavor had enough of infinite to come upwards through the thick mild broth too a scattering of goji berry added an interesting sweetness. I loved the mistaken fish on top, real tender too simply a trivial crisp on the outside.

The forbidden rice (a recipe that was initially exclusively for the Emperor) arrived shortly after, topped with  mistaken chicken strips. Subtly sweetness too non at all gluey, I would accept happily scoffed the lot were it non for the adjacent plate turning up...

This plate held (clockwise from the front) braised tofu, a crumbed faux-prawn cutlet, baked pumpkin garnished amongst soy sauce too a Tawainese stuffed capsicum.  The multifariousness was almost overwhelming, amongst hearty baking contrasted against showy frying too calorie-free garnishes.


At final dessert rolled approximately too nosotros elected to percentage the 2 options. The criterion dessert is a mild tofu pudding covered inward thick sweetness cherry-red edible bean syrup.

Cake of the hateful solar daytime was a pocket-sized fruit konjac jelly square.

I've non encountered whatever other eating seat inward Melbourne that serves nutrient quite similar the Veggie Kitchen.  Every dish had a delicacy too thoughtfulness nigh it - contrasts inward textures too temperatures striking the correct topographic point 1 time to a greater extent than too again.  There were 1 or 2 kid elements that did non appeal to me but that was solely downwards to personal gustation too non the character of the meal.  The banquet cost is real reasonable too the staff were utterly welcoming - I tin dismiss only hope that these qualities function on to attract customers to Veggie Kitchen inward the months to come.
