Like what many have said, the HUE’s offerings are not exactly the classic Thai dishes, hence I kept an open mind and really enjoyed all the dishes I ordered.

A great starting dish to share, HUE’s Three Little Pigs ($19) was appetising and flavourful. Think the all-familiar oven-roasted crispy pork belly but stir-fried with an aromatic mix of garlic, coriander, chopped chilli, and white pepper. Not too saucy, the savoury dish had a good dose of heat with a slight herbaceous kick. With a higher fat-to-meat ratio, the protein was tender and surprisingly not cloying at all. Also, love the crunch from the crackling skin.
