Zai Shun Curry Fish Head

The fish is really fresh and tender! 😋 No wonder they are in the Michelin’s Bib Gourmand.

Steamed w bean paste

Not as natural a fit as the hong Kong Style, but surprisingly light and citrusy bean sauce went not bad with the steamed Fish either. Pork lard was abit out of place tho, not that it's bad.

But since Fish was perfect as usual, it was really enjoyable.

P. S. At times they steam it for 7mins only lol, depending on the conditions of the steamer

Quite a small portion(5pcs of each), and despite the decent sauce that was thick, the pork belly was slightly dry for zai Shun standards. Yam was nice and soft though

So basically u have no choice over the soup but why bother when its gonna be good anyways. Impressive umami, and while the pork was dry from the hours in low heat, it did its job to let the soup shine. Besides tomato and a slice of ginger, there's nothing else inside which is really mystifying considering the depth of flavour.

Zai Shun is known for consistent perfection but even then i didnt expect a dish like this to be so good. Intense wok hei is the first thing i cant help but notice, followed by the impeccable texture of the two simple ingredients. As much as i love my grandma's black Fungus in chicken soup, theirs is so soft yet has a slight bite as well. Seasoned well also, since you're definitely going to get rice.

Truly blessed to stay so near a gem like this.
