Fried Tau Pok with meat stuffings, Dried Oyster Pork Balls, Shiitake Mushroom with Pork, Meatballs.

From Carbon& at Aperia Mall; predominantly a bar that serves craft beer on tap alongside burgers and bar bites for dinner, whilst also offering rice bowls during lunch hours. An interesting take on bar bites considering how they serve up items with a local element, the most outstanding item here is undoubtedly the Pork Meatballs; crisp on the exterior, juicy within whilst carrying a good bite without being too synthetic or tough to chew — the Pork Meatballs were undeniably flavourful and well-executed, and something which we could not get enough of. The other items were pretty good too, carrying quite a good portion of meat to provide a good balance of flavour; the Fried Tau Pok having a soft bite with meat stuffed in the middle, while the Dried Oyster Pork Balls was the softest of the lot; the pork being slightly more dominant to the masses. The Shiitake Mushroom with Pork Meatballs are pretty interesting; carrying that firm bite that the mushrooms have, the item carries a great chew with the slight earthiness of the mushrooms complimenting the meat stuffings. Dip the items into the housemade chili for a spicy kick akin to that of the chili usually served with Hainanese Chicken Rice. A pretty innovative take on using local fare for a bar bite.
