The soup was very good. Savoury umami with a pork fat flavour.

Skin was reasonably thick and has a good bite. Overall a little bit too much skin but still within acceptable limits

This is a good version

This was rlly meh. Not only was it abit dry, but the flavour was lacking also. The pastry itself was abit sweet but that was it, not fragrant at all

quite good, the wet style, the sauce is on the sweeter side

As far as smelly tofus go, this one is pretty mild. The funk and the umami of the chili and dried shrimp goes pretty well tgt for a nice dish to have alongside rice

Green chillies carry some heat

Eggplants had a good texture. Soft enough but holds its shape. Simple, rather mild sweet sauce. It's coated w oil but somehow the dish isn't overly oily, there's hardly too much oil pooling at the bottom

Nonetheless, because of the oil it holds it's heat abit too well, being quite hot only until the end of the meal

Honestly the soup doesn't taste like anything. Tried it for the lolz, this dish is purely a display of knife technique
