After our interest was piqued at Taste of Kalamazoo, we knew we wanted the full Rasa Ria experience. Paul and I had attempted to eat here a few times and found that, when they go on vacation, they GO on vacation. So, our previous attempts were unsuccessful. But, today was an exception. So, foodies, Kristin and I were able to share a meal from a new place. YAY!
Ok, curry puffs... pretty underwhelming. Good in theory. Filling wrapped in a heavy pastry dough. But, this dough was WAY heavy, translation= there was way too much. The filling was pretty good, but the outer crust was so overwhelming, that it got lost. In other words, I will likely save on the calories in the future and skip the curry puffs. But, we did want to order their stuffed tofu (which sounded interesting and yummy) but were informed that they were out of them... :(
The tofu rendang was good. Not 'blow my mind' fantastic, but good. Much like I remember it from Taste of Kalamazoo. I did find a few bay leaves floating around, which I thought was interesting. But, overall, I like this dish. Chunks of tofu and potato marinated in the coconut milk curry sauce. Served over white rice, it is a simple dish. The flavor is interesting, and unlike others that I have experienced before. There is a sweetness to this dish that makes it unique, and I like it. But, I don't love it/have to have it.
For the price, it is a nice take out experience that is different than your run-of-the-mill Chinese, or pizza, or Jimmy Johns. New flavors, you know? We will likely eat here again because it is something different and filling.
