You’re “goreng” to want to check this place out 👀🍜 {ad – press sample}
Noodles and curries and spring rolls… oh my! 😱 @ekachai_uk was created by two friends from Hong Kong who wanted to bring the real taste of their childhood to the streets of London 🇬🇧
The team now serve a variety of Southeast Asian dishes 👀 Here’s what we ate:
🌱Vegetable spring rolls w/ sweet chilli dip
💰£4.95
💭 Light, tasty, good amount of filling
🤷🏼♀️ Order again? Yes
🌱Salt & pepper tofu w/ chillies, spring onions & sweet chilli dip
💰£5.50
💭Crispy, quite sweet, could’ve been spicier or more flavoursome but still tasty
🤷🏼♀️ Order again? Yes
🌱Tofu Pad Thai (ask for it to be veganised)
💰£8.95
💭Not the most flavoursome I’ve had but had a nice sweetness which I liked. The chillies added some real heat, the lime cut through the sweetness and I liked the soft, spongey tofu
🤷🏼♀️ Order again? Yes
🌱Tofu Nasi Goreng (ask for it to be veganised)
💰£8.95
💭Loved this! Only feedback is that the tofu was a bit chewy, and the dish was a tad oily but I enjoyed the flavours a lot. It tasted a bit eggy in parts! Peppers worked well
🤷🏼♀️ Order again? Yes w/ changes
🌱Nyonya vegetable curry -
💰£7.95
💭The flavours in this were unreal – great spice level, tempeh was soft but had bite still. Delicious!
🤷🏼♀️ Order again? Yes

🖤Diversity statement:
PR company’s diversity statement (same company as yesterday’s post): We believe that to be truly diverse you must reject the human nature to gravitate towards familiarity but seek out and acknowledge those who are very different from yourselves. We embrace this different perspective, encourage the new dynamic and recognise that challenge means change for the better. We accept that things can be harder for some than others so we listen and we are committed to provide a safe and welcoming place for people of any background to develop, to be themselves, to speak, to grow, to do their best, to fuel innovation, to participate and to fulfil potential as both an individual and as a part of our team. The hospitality industry is multicultural and global and we want to reflect this within our own workplace; we will never discriminate candidates on race, religion or gender. We believe it is important for each member of staff whether it be a director or the work experience candidate that we always remember we are part of a team, support one another and understand that no one person is bigger than the team.
