We had an afternoon gig inward Northcote in addition to took the chance to banking concern jibe out Yuni's Kitchen, an Indonesian cafe amongst a reputation for vegan-friendliness. It's a cosy piffling identify tucked inward behind a church building on High Street amongst seats for close xx or thirty people. We had no problem claiming a tabular array for 4 at 12:30 on a Sabbatum afternoon in addition to betwixt us nosotros got stuck into most of the veggie dishes on offer.
We started off amongst 2 of the entrees - the tahu isi sayur (below left, $9) in addition to the bakwan jagung (below right, $9). The tahu isi sayur are piffling pockets of semi-soft tofu stuffed amongst vegetables in addition to deep-fried inward batter. The bakwan jagung are piffling fritters of corn, coriander, carrot in addition to bound onion. Both are vegan, delicious in addition to come upwards served amongst Yuni's incredible sambal, which yous tin purchase in addition to stimulate got home.
We scanned the mains for tempeh and, finding exclusively ane vego dish that included it, 3 of us ordered the same thing: the nasi campur sayur ($21). It's a combo of all kinds of deliciousness: yellowish rice, veggie curry, fried tempeh, urap (steamed veggies amongst spiced grated coconut), pickles, emping (chips!), perkedel (fried murphy fritter), peanuts in addition to a chilli egg (subbed amongst eggplant for the vegan version). This was such a proficient lunch, amongst in addition to thence many delightful flavours in addition to textures to smother inward sambal. It's a slightly expensive lunch, but it's good worth it.
Cindy took ane for the squad in addition to ordered a tempeh-free meal: the veggie nasi goreng ($15). It's a company fried rice amongst vegetables mixed through, topped amongst a fried egg, a murphy fritter, pickles in addition to unopen to emping. Cindy was a fleck disappointed non to larn whatsoever tofu or tempeh inward the fried rice, but it was however a decent offering. She topped it off amongst a Vietnamese iced java amongst condensed milk ($5), which is close the exclusively way she'll eat caffeine.
We had a keen fourth dimension at Yuni's - the nasi campur sayur is an absolute winner in addition to I can't imagine always ordering anything else. Our exclusively disappointment was the lack of tempeh options - they brand their own, which agency they stimulate got to ration it out a fleck rather than putting it inward all the stir-fries etc (although I don't know why the waste materials it inward 2 meaty dishes!). The staff were helpful in addition to at that spot was a prissy relaxed vibe - it's a keen Northcote selection when you're non inward the mood for Tahina.
