    Vietnamese restaurant chain Roll’d launches FMCG range through Coles

    Vietnamese restaurant chain Roll’d, has rolled out a range of pantry staples at Coles, allowing customers to recreate restaurant favoritesnoo at home.

    Starting this month, shoppers can now purchase the same ingredients and condiments used at the restaurant, including a range of four sauces – Sticky Hoisin, Spicy Hoisin, Nước Mắm, and Chili Mayo (at RRP $6) – rice papers ($4), vermicelli noodles ($3.50) and rolling trays ($10).

    According to Roll’d, the products are simple to use, free of preservatives, additives or gluten and suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

    In addition, customers can scan the QR code at the back of any Roll’d product to access tutorials and recipe ideas designed to suit different skill levels.

    “Teaching Australians to roll their very own Roll’d Vietnamese Soldiers through this new Coles grocery partnership is a natural extension for us beyond the traditional QSR arena,” said Bao Hoang, Founder and CEO, Roll’d.

    “We’re excited to be sharing our authentic Vietnamese eats and recipes to the wider community, going into homes, lunchboxes and onto dinner tables with fresh, family eats options that are healthy and guilt-free.”

    Japanese gluten-free cafe Kobeya opens in the UAE

    The first Japanese and Far Eastern gluten-free cafe Kobeya has opened its doors at the Wasl Vita Mall, Dubai.

    The cafe concept is inspired by the founder’s difficulties in finding gluten-free options in restaurants for her gluten-intolerant son.

    “Kobeya is my inspiration to create that option in the UAE. Our focus is on promoting healthy eating habits by serving only an all ingredient gluten-free menu with more than 50 vegetarian, vegan, non-vegetarian and lactose-free varieties that include salads, burgers, healthy meals and desserts,” said Leiko H, a founding member of Kobeya.

    The Kobeya menu features a selection of gluten-free food including exclusive Japanese Kobe beef burger and Vietnamese spring rolls. The cafe also offers cooking classes on creating gluten-free lunch boxes for kids with products from Japan, Thailand, the Far East, and Europe.

    Leiko said: “My experiences in many Asian countries have given me the vision to offer unique gluten-free dishes created by an expert team of nutritionists at Kobeya. We get to know our suppliers by visiting farms and talking with farmers. We show our dedication to our customers by choosing carefully only high-quality five-star products and ingredients”.
