Nep Cafe, I Love Youuu! πβ¨
Time to rave about my absolute favorite dishes at Nep Cafe! π₯’ Broccolini β Love you! Grilled with lemongrass soy β charred, tender, and bursting with savory umami. π¦π¦π¦ Seafood Ceviche β Love you! I usually donβt love seafood, but this one had me dreaming about it! Scallops, shrimp, and squid in a creamy, tangy sauce, served with crispy shrimp crackers. So refreshing and appetizing! π§π¦ Garlic Noodles β Love you! A delightful surprise! I was worried itβd be too salty or heavy β but no! The noodles have a udon-like chew, slightly sweet and not overly garlicky. Light on sauce, so itβs not greasy. We added shrimp β perfection! π¦π₯π Crab Toast β Love you! Scrambled eggs + crab on crispy toasted bread. The first bite felt a bit rich, but it grows on you β and mixing it with the garlic noodles? Next-level good! π₯ Mango Sticky Rice β Itβs okay. Pandan-flavored green sticky rice served warm with sesame sauce β pretty ordinary. I still prefer the classic cold version with coconut milk. π Chicken Wings β Love you! So fragrant I almost fainted! Tastes like BBQ chickenβs soy garlic wings β crispy outside, juicy inside, savory-sweet goodness. π Beef Tongue Fried Rice β Love you! Incredibly aromatic β my friend and both agreed it tastes just like fried rice back home! Small, well-separated grains, not oily, perfectly wok-fried. π΅ Coconut Matcha β Love you! Iβve had their other matcha drinks before (too sweet), but coconut water + matcha foam? Just right β delicious and not overly sweet! Nep Cafe, I love you! Some dishes are from brunch, some from dinner β but all are worth trying! π» #IrvineEats #IrvineFoodie #NepCafe #BrunchGoals #DinnerVibes #FoodLove π₯ππ
