Tauhu goreng – fried bean curd on a bed of julienned cucumber and bean sprouts, topped with Vio’s signature peanut sauce. “Vio” plays fairy godmother to the bean sprouts and cucumber who, let’s be honest, have as much individual gustatory swag as the kids from the AVA and Gardening Clubs no matter how you attach words like “julienned” to make them sound edgier. Her peanut sauce – a creation which achieves a magical combination of sweet, spicy and nutty – essentially serves as the vegetables’ metaphorical ballgowns and handsome tuxedos for wearing to the ball that is your mouth. 4/5
