Gochujang Rose Penne at Lilac Oak — xinru-t's Review (Aug 27, 2023)

Penne pasta smothered in Korean-inspired rosé cream with tomato paste and housemade gochujang sauce! Interesting mix of sweet, savoury, and spicy flavours. Served alongside housemade kimchi as well as scallop-like king oyster mushrooms, baby corn, and carrot sticks. Personally would have liked a bit of tofu cubes for protein. Great for those who don't consume alliums as the housemade gochujang and kimchi are allium-free (Chloe used to run a sister brand called Picking On Veg focusing on allium-free pickled veggies)! P.S. Edit March 2024: Some of the veggies have now been replaced with sliced tempeh, making this a more balanced dish~ (Allium-free, $16.90) #sgvegan #wholefoodplantbased #wfpb #womenowned
