Kenny Middle Mall is stuffed with hidden gems, from distinctive outlets to culinary gems like Xia Xia Chinese language Delicacies, ChiliSpot, Mochi Ring, and all the Japanese Market with winners like Belle’s Bread, Akai Hana, and Tensuke Market.
In one of many more durable to seek out corners, subsequent to Kung Fu Tea, is a more moderen cafe referred to as VGET Cafe.
The area is clearly geared extra towards efficiency. It is largely empty apart from a pair ordering from the stalls, three tables and a small window for meals.
The house owners mentioned VGET stands for “making a greater life collectively,” and the phrase is emblazoned on a neon signal close to the door.
The drink menu covers iced coffees, scorching and iced lattes, tea and smoothies. We tried honeycomb sugar latte and matcha latte.
One part of the menu is devoted to Taiwanese rice rolls, that are big rolls of sticky rice, meat and greens in seaweed. We tried signature rice wrap shredded dried pork jerky, Chinese language pickles, crispy fried dough piece and salad. It is a curious mixture of the feel of the crunchier roast pork and fried dough, and the softer rice and salad.
Considered one of their greatest options—and positively one designed for Instagram—is the Korean Egg Toast. They encompass a thick slice of toast reduce within the center and crammed with a layered omelette, meat, cheese, salad after which a beneficiant drizzle of dressing.
We tried Thai shrimp and egg toastfull of shrimp, egg, cheddar and lettuce, then drizzled with Thai chili sauce.
It ought to come as no shock that these are very messy to eat. As a complete, the parts match effectively collectively, though the salad is a bit sticky in opposition to the nice and cozy substances.
We additionally tasted New Orleans Rooster and Egg Toast. It has rooster fillet, eggs, cheddar and salad with mayo and ketchup. The server requested if we needed the cutlet with the pores and skin on or off, suggesting the pores and skin as a result of it was a bit crispier. We did not notice that this additionally meant bone! So beware in the event you order this toast.
VGET Cafe is open from Monday to Friday from 7:30 to 17:30 and from Saturday to Sunday from 9 to 19. They’re additionally lively on all supply platforms.
