Urban Jungle Cafe, Rhodes

 
Another hype cafe for Sydneysiders is this Urban Jungle Cafe.  They have a few branches around Sydney like in Rhodes, Parramatta and one shop in Southern Sydney, Hurstville.  This place is decorated with green leaves and flowers that kinda give the impression of you were in the jungle, a friendly jungle though. 

 

Hazelnut latte

Fresh orange juice $8

Southern chicken burger $19

This Southern fried chicken fillet was juicy and tender, came with maple chipotle BBQ glaze, homemade slaw, American cheddar, pickles, and served with fries too. 


Wagyu cheeseburger $21

A thick slab of grilled wagyu beef patty served with some kind of special sauce on a brioche bun.  It had some caramelised onions, pickles and cheese in the burger and also came with fries on the side.



This time of the year, they serve seasonal truffle menus in the house.  So, we gave it a go for 2 items on this special menu.  Truffle congee and truffle parmesan fries.  Although I really wanted to try their churros as well but we're too full after those main meals.  So, probably I'll give it a go next time. 

Truffle congee $25

This truffle congee, I didn't realise when I ordered, it is actually a vegetarian dish.  So, it comes with black fungus, spiced tofu, deep fried wonton sheet, fried egg and of course the hero of the dish, truffle.  You can add some extra meats from the options like chorizo, bacon, etc.  It was a good congee dish, though the truffle flavour was too subtle and light or it could also be the condiments just too strong in flavour.  Am I going to order this dish again next time? Hmmmm..... probably not. 

Truffle parmesan fries $13 with added fresh grated truffle for $12

Everyone loves these fries.  It was a pretty big portion of fries and they topped with truffle flavoured mayo and grated parmesan cheese and we also added extra grated truffle on top.  We definitely could not get enough of those truffles.  They all went well together.  Very happy with this dish.
