Finally tried this #michelin Bib Gourmand ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ธ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ผ๐ ($4) after previous ventures to Hong Lim saw me leave empty handed. And it actually lived up to expectations.
-
The texture was moist but not greasy whilst the noodles were smooth and silky, mixing well with the beansprouts, fishcake and the generous helping of eggs.
-
It was flavourful with an eloquent blend of sweetness, umami, egginess, chili heat and a nice fragrant kick from lard, without the dark sauce's sweetness dominating the palate โ a trend at many other places, often to the extent of cloyingness. It was not remotely tedious as they masterfully balanced the flavour profile, which was also beautifully layered over with a smoky aroma.
-
The plate was also interspersed with decadently crunchy fried pork lard and fresh juicy cockles which bursted with intoxicating brininess, both ingredients that greatly complemented the richness.
