Hakka Cun — Restaurant in Vienna

I rather, generally, essentially, like this place. It’s tucked away in a rather odd corner, carrying the vibe of an old Macau movie. It's Hokkien, but it's also Chinese Indonesian. You can tell just by glancing at the menu or the photos. You get the quintessential small Asian restaurant dynamic: a burned-out old Asian woman (aka old Asian woman) single-handedly managing every table. She didn’t smile, which is fine, but what wasn’t fine was her decision to acknowledge other customers before me. It made me feel slightly too invisible. But the food is where it gets a bit confusing. Every time I eat at an Asian restaurant in Vienna, I start questioning how much of what I know is cultural memory and how much is just nostalgia. Their beef rendang, for instance, is made with beef strips and plain rice. But traditionally, rendang involves large chunks of beef, a thick, spiced sauce, and fragrant blue rice.

Their nasi goreng, while enjoyable, seemed also a bit simplified with curry powder.

If you go, I’d recommend asking specifically for those dishes—or more reliably, ordering the curry or...

Hakka Cun is an Asian Fusion restaurant run by a Chinese born in India. The dishes are inspired by many different Asian cultures in the world like the Fish Curry and the Gong Pao Chicken which their spice and their heat satiates us for our craving for Malaysian and Chinese cuisine. Although the service is long, the woman who served us still gives us her friendly smile despite being bombarded by countless of orders and...
