@original_botak_jones has been around for the longest time, and they started out as a humble Western food stall serving up hefty portions of food for reasonable prices. They’ve expanded a little since they came out of their hiatus, and now they have a few extra menu items, like this Stuffed Jalapeños ($10.50 nett). The jalapeños are de-seeded, stuffed with mozzarella, breaded with panko & deep fried. It’s sour, spicy and definitely a firecracker of a starter, but they could stuff a little more cheese in there to balance out the heat a bit.⠀

The Shiitake Mushroom soup ($5.50 nett) looked plenty promising with the abundance of mushrooms inside, but it was an unfortunate disappointment. I get that it’s occasionally called Cream of Mushroom soup, but this was quite literally just cream with mushrooms floating inside. Every sip just felt like pure cream, and I would have certainly appreciated more complexity to the soup’s texture & taste. Oddly enough, my dad’s main gripe with the soup was that it contained too much onion.⠀

Thank you so much for the invite, @original_botak_jones!⠀
