Kudos to the chef for the knife work, having sliced the silken tofu so thinly without the slightest crack on them. This was a flavourful dish and the sauce goes well with rice! This happened to be one of their signature dish so you can consider giving it a try!
Was utterly disappointed with the food here I didn’t even bother editing my photos. Ordered 辣子鸡 and it came with that few bits of Chili padi. Initially thought, perhaps those are for decoration, the chicken might have been marinated or seasoned with chilli but no, these were barely spicy. The diced chicken were crispy and decent, and I feel I probably wouldn’t be as annoyed had I not know it was 辣子鸡。
PSA tea goes for 4++ per pax. Abit ex but service was excellent, very attentive and prompt in helping us refill our tea whenever they catch us empty haha
Kurobuta was vv tender, despite not being dredged in flour. Quite savoury but safe, the laoganma(Chinese chili oil mix) was rather muted save for the fragrance. Restaurant kinda dish, I would prefer much much bolder flavours. Still, props to their execution
Cod was amazing. It's marvelous how different it can taste under the skills of a good chef. The olive veggie was very light but enough to add umami and fragrance, rightfully the cod should be allowed to shine here. Great dish
1.5hour wait, so make a reservation and tell them about it in advance
The rice was not bad, there's a chew and bite to it and the 锅巴(soccorat) is the clean yellow colour kind. Personally I prefer the insanely crunchy burnt ones a la new lucky but this one is hard to fault
Overall, it's a premium version, but otherwise not stellar
OH SIKE that's what I would have said if not for the sauce. Damn that sauce is something else. It's so unassuming but so good, and it's not very different from the norm either. It's got this oil-like consistency to it, and a strong humble umami. Power!
The toppings are solid. Intense flavours, the poultry was abit too salty though. Personally didn't like the fermented sausage cos there's this bitterness and alcohol kick to it, but the lup Cheong was the best I've had. Not quite sure what the last meat was, some kind of pork.
Toppings were pretty generous despite what it seems for 4 pax, because of the saltiness we actually had quite a bit of it left over after finishing the rice
Definitely can't argue with the quality, but whether u enjoy every component is really up to the individual
