Vraja Cuisine - Vegetarian and Vegan Cafe的Teriyaki Tofu — Sam的评论 (2023年3月6日)

I recently had the pleasure of trying Vraja’s teriyaki rice bowl with soup, and it did not disappoint. Despite being in a hurry to submit a requirement for class, I decided to order takeout and try this dish out. The packaging came at an additional 15 Philippine peso charge (about 0.30 USD), but I was disappointed that it was in plastic. However, I have made a mental note to ask if they can put the food straight into my lunch box next time to reduce waste.

The teriyaki tofu dish is a great option for those who prefer not to eat mock meat. (I personally was happy with this considering how realistic texture of my previous, sisig order that left me feeling almost guilty.) The dish was well-presented, with glazed tofu, Baguio beans, carrots, and mung bean sprouts, making it colorful and visually appealing. The teriyaki tofu was not heavily sauced or too sweet, which is often a concern with teriyaki meals. The flavor was spot on, and this animal-less version of a teriyaki meal is the best teriyaki I’ve had so far.

Another thing I appreciate about this rice bowl was that it was both delicious and filling. Even just three quarters of the serving would have been enough to satisfy my hunger, but I couldn't help but devour the entire meal. Additionally, like the other rice meal I've tried from Vraja, this one also came with mung bean soup, which provides an extra source of protein.

Overall, Vraja’s teriyaki tofu is definitely worth trying out. The presentation matches what you see on the menu and social media posts, and the flavors are on point. The only downside in this experience is the plastic packaging, but I’m hoping that they will switch to something more eco-friendly in the future.
