Review of Bak Pao mit Pilzen und Pack Choi at Tonka Restaurant by david-
The dish, "Bak Pao with Mushrooms and Pak Choi," features an #Indonesian yeast #dumpling filled with #mushrooms 🍄🟫 served alongside #tempeh in #coffee #sauce, fried whole #pakchoi, and crisp #sambal. This meal combines various textures and flavors and is #droolworthy #mushroomlover
The #BakPao itself is a highlight, with its soft, #fluffy texture encapsulating a #savory #mushroom filling. The tempeh, bathed in a rich coffee-infused sauce, adds a #unique depth of flavor, blending the earthy taste of tempeh with the slightly bitter, #aromatic notes of coffee ☕️ This pairing introduces an unexpected but delightful contrast!! The #fried whole pak choi contributes a fresh, slightly #crunchy element that balances the softness of the dumpling and the density of the tempeh. Its mild bitterness and crisp texture provide a refreshing counterpoint to the other components on the plate. Finally, the crisp sambal adds a #spicy, #tangy kick that elevates the dish, providing a burst of heat and flavor that ties all the elements together #indonesianfood #allveganrestaurant
Overall, while they say it’s a German restaurant, the Bak Pao with Mushrooms and Pak Choi is a well-composed dish that showcases the chef's ability to blend traditional Indonesian flavors with a creative twist.
