Borneo Intersection - Mindil Market

After the first couple of weeks of the blog being very meat-heavy and the most recent week being dessert-based I felt it was time to have a vegetarian week. I've always eaten my vegetables but never have I really thought of anything non-meat to be the main part of a meal. As my waistline was expanding it was probably time for a diet.

I gathered up some fellow meat-eating pals to see some of the magic the stalls at Mindil Market could

Some of the offerings at Borneo Intersection. 

come up with when it came to meat-free meals. Our first stop was Borneo Intersection. Borneo Intersection is a stall at Mindil Market that specialises in Indonesian and Malaysian foods and they have a lot to choose from!

I spoke with Sarah from the Borneo Intersection to get a little more info on what they do!

Vegetarian roll. Click the image for mouth-watering bigness!

Sarah and her crew prepared for us a couple of different dishes to sink our teeth into. The first were the vegetarian rolls which were prepared with a mix of vegetables such as carrots, tofu, and covered in peanut sauce. They were soft, moist, and absolutely satisfying. I was surprised at how tasty they were and I was craving more! I had to save room as Sarah and her crew had more for us to dig into.                                

Nasi Campur with coconut rice. Beautifully presented and beautifully tasting

Sarah then presented us with a vegetable Nasi Campur. A Nasi Campur is essentially an Indonesian tasting platter. In the middle is a scoop of rice which is surrounded by all sorts of goodies. This was such a beautifully presented dish that I didn't want to ruin the presentation! I'm glad I did though as it was especially tasty! This is a great dish to share with a friend or two as there is a LOT of food. I was almost stuffed when Sarah came out with a special treat!

Gaze upon the numminess that is the vegetable tempura! mmmmm

Sarah surprised us with some vegetable tempura. I am a sucker for vegetable tempura and was ecstatic to have the opportunity to try it from Borneo Intersection. All the chow I had to begin with was exceptional and the tempura didn't disappoint!

Borneo Intersection is not strictly a vegetarian stall and has something for everybody. As a life long carnivore I can safely say that I was very satisfied with what we had. To tell you the truth it's got me rethinking my diet!
