Continuing on with trying as many plant-based Hungarian food as I can try. I have been to Kozmosz ages ago (around 10 years ago) but wanted to try a different dish.
I had the Túrós csusza - consists of pasta mixed with some kind of crumbled cheese, topped with sour cream and fried bacon bits. For this version, tofu is used as a cottage crumbled cheese and also as the bacon.
I don’t think using tofu for both are good substitutes, if combined together. Separately, possibly. I’m very indifferent to using tofu as ‘bacon’ in general. It’s too soft in comparison to bacon and a better substitute should be use. Adding these together with the tofu cottage cheese doesn’t add any distinctiveness between tofu emulating as bacon and tofu as cottage cheese. Instead it just becomes tasting a bit too much tofu, which is bad if one is trying to recreate a dish that isn’t supposed to be tofu.
Some dishes offer prices for a “small portion” and “regular portion”. There is a note on whether dishes can be requested to be gluten-free and/or soy-free version. The menu does state the allergens that can be found in their restaurant but doesn’t label which dish.
Free drinking water was available. The interior of the restaurant was quite dim.
