PAST EVENT! “Vegan Voyage: A Culinary Journey in Kuta Lombok”
When you merge the culinary traditions of Belgium and France with a compassionate choice for the environment and animals, you get a vegan gastronomic adventure that’s truly unparalleled. This was the essence of SAME SAME Hangout’s “Vegan Voyage: A Culinary Journey.”
A Celebration of Vegan Delights In a world where veganism is not just a dietary preference but a lifestyle for many, we at SAME SAME Hangout felt the need to dedicate a month to this compassionate culinary movement. Vegan Voyage was a celebration of flavors, textures, and aromas, all devoid of animal products yet overflowing with love and authenticity.
Local, Organic, and Fresh Central to this vegan extravaganza was our commitment to sustainability. By sourcing local and organic produce, we ensured that our dishes were not only vegan but also eco-friendly. From the freshly picked vegetables to the organic grains, every ingredient narrated a tale of nature’s bounty.
Vegan Vol-au-Vent & Belgian-style Seitan Stew Among the many delicacies introduced during this month, two dishes stood out: the Vegan Vol-au-Vent and the Belgian-style Seitan Stew. The former, a light puff pastry shell brimming with a hearty vegan filling, became an instant hit. On the other hand, the Seitan Stew, inspired by traditional Belgian cooking, was a perfect blend of rich flavors and tender, meaty seitan chunks.
Embracing Veganism, the SAME SAME Way Throughout the Vegan Voyage month, SAME SAME Hangout became a haven for vegan enthusiasts and curious foodies alike. The feedback was overwhelming, with many applauding the restaurant’s effort to bring vegan versions of classic Belgian-French dishes to the table. The culinary journey was not just about pleasing the palate, but it was also a statement – that delicious food can be ethical and sustainable.
Missed out on the Vegan Voyage? Fret not! We continually strive to innovate and bring you diverse culinary experiences. Stay updated with our latest events and special menus by following our website and Instagram.
Here’s to more vegan adventures, delicious moments, and sustainable choices. Cheers!
EVENT CLOSED: Belgian Breakfast Bliss Week at SAME SAME Hangout
When one thinks of Belgium, grand medieval towns, iconic comic strips, and enchanting European charm come to mind. But ask any food lover, and they’d speak of waffles, chocolates, and a plethora of heartwarming breakfast dishes. Inspired by this rich culinary tapestry, SAME SAME Hangout decided to bring a slice of Belgium to Lombok through our “Belgian Breakfast Bliss Week.”
A Culinary Expedition to the Heart of Belgium While the sandy shores and tropical aura of Lombok are miles away from the cobblestone streets of Brussels or Bruges, our culinary journey aimed to bridge that distance. Throughout the week, our menu highlighted the breakfast favorites that have made Belgium a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts worldwide.
Liege Waffles: A Sweet Beginning The star of the week undoubtedly was our Liege waffle. Unlike any regular waffle, the Liege variant is rich, dense, chewy, and delightfully sweet. Freshly baked to a golden hue, these waffles were generously drizzled with organic maple syrup. Each bite transported our patrons to a quaint Belgian café, serenaded by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the distant chime of cathedral bells.
Belgian Bacon & Hot Cocoa: The Perfect Pair To complement the sweetness of the waffles, we introduced crispy Belgian bacon – perfectly cooked strips that added a savory twist to the meal. And what’s a Belgian feast without some chocolate goodness? Our guests indulged in rich hot cocoa, a blend of Belgian dark chocolate melted to perfection and frothy milk, making for a heartwarming drink.
Bringing Belgium to Kuta, Lombok Throughout the “Belgian Breakfast Bliss Week,” the energy at SAME SAME Hangout was electric. Tourists and locals, adults and kids, everyone reveled in this unique experience. It wasn’t just about relishing the dishes but also about understanding the stories and traditions behind them.
For those who missed out on this delightful week or wish to relive those moments, worry not! SAME SAME Hangout is committed to bringing many such culinary adventures to you. Stay tuned to our website and Instagram for updates on upcoming events and promotions.
Until then, Bon Appétit, or as the Belgians say, “Smakelijk!”
