Surprisingly, my favourite dish of the day was the most humble looking and unassuming dish - the sliced beef scallion oil noodles.

The first thing I noticed was the nutty aroma of the scallion oil which permeated the air. The noodles were nicely done al dente and I like that it didn't taste alkaline. The scallion oil and soy sauce which lovingly coated the noodles gave it a nutty, crisp and savoury flavour which left me slurping it all up. The sliced beef was also of the perfect thickness, giving it a nice bite and tenderness.

To top this dish off was deep fried scallions which were painstakingly handcut length-wise and then deep fried to crispy golden brown goodness. Besides the contrast in textures, it added a layer of complexity to the flavour of the dish by lending a subtly sweet note.
