[CLOSED] 87 Senze Taiwan Porridge

(Part 8 of 8)

This is a very rustic version of the dish and incomparable to the one I had at YAN @ National Gallery. The skin could have been crispier and more intact with a greater portion of sesame seeds evenly distributed on top. Their red bean filling was thick but somehow felt that it overwhelmed the outer pancake layers at times, inconsistent red bean to dough ratio. It's still a great way to end off the meal though, washing it all down with a cup of warm Chinese Tea.

Fluffy, crunchy (From the deep-fried bits below), full of flavour, sinful and satisfying. Apart from wishing that this gave you no calories or that it was offered in a buffet, there's nothing more you can expect really.

There was a strong aroma of salted egg wafting through the air right above the dish, causing me to steal a piece almost immediately after it was served. Unfortunately, my first impression wasn't quite as good as the coating of salted egg that I got was bland. After a few more pieces though, I realised that there was indeed some that had a flavourful crust to it with loads of flavour matching the strong aroma it was giving off. So there was some inconsistency in the distribution of flavours but a tremendous plus point for me would be their plump, juicy and moist prawns which I was pleasantly surprised to discover, especially considering how the exterior remained crisp and crunchy.

Unfortunately, this was barely spicy perhaps to cater to a wider consumer base. I did quite like the sweet and sour flavour to this but I would still go for the authentic Szechuan Ma Po tofu any day. The tofu was decent but I've had silkier versions.

Their eggplant was still firm and had lots of flesh. A classic dish but I'm used to places where the minced meat sauce is thicker in consistency and where every bite basically fills your mouth with the minced meat.

A soupy/saucy dish with what seemed like equal proportions of mushrooms (I'm not an expert but it does not look like Bai Ling mushrooms which apparently is a gourmet mushroom slightly resembling an abalone) to spinach. For a large portion, I felt that it could be bigger.
