As usual, Whisk & Paddle was packed when we were there, so we decided to hop on over next door to their sister restaurant, Fat Po. Unlike Whisk & Paddle which serves up more conventional brunch items like Eggs Benedict and western dishes such as Carbonara & Mac & Cheese, Fat Po’s dishes are infused with Asian elements. Felt that there were hits and misses with their menu, but still enjoyed my time there.
Take this dish for example. An attempt at adding an Asian touch to an otherwise ordinary Western dish, the Har Cheong Chicken Burger was wrapped in between 2 sweet, buttery Bo Lo buns instead of the regular burger buns, which seemed too small for the massive chicken. The deep fried Har Cheong Kai was huge, clearly meant for sharing though if you wish to take up the challenge, by all means.
Sandwiched inside the bun was some sad slices of tomatoes, accompanied by salad by the side which I was more than happy to chuck aside. The chicken was as juicy as it was tender, its umami balancing out the sweetness of the Bolo Buns. Would order this again to share if I'm back!
