Spicy Fragrant Limbo Fish - Half Fish with Tail set + Pearl Rice 🍚
(No additional toppings selected)
Flavour selection 4: Spicy Fragrant (herbs and broad-bean paste)
Place is quite easy to locate set within a dim bar ambiance instead of a bright place for brunch.
Food was so-so only… one would visit more for the ambience.
Quite average tasting for a restaurant-styled location, the service staff sounded like she was chasing us a little on a weekday afternoon lunch.
Dry bouncy noodles with spicy and sour homemade Kimchi with pork belly Shabu and a tinge of Yuzu
The flavours are really unique and delicious but can get slightly salty over time. Do mix well before eating 🥣
Store waitress was kind enough to provide a refill of the hot gingery meat broth that came with the meal.
Regular sized, less sugar, less ice.
Would be nice if you stick to the standard sugar content/ level.
The mochi and mashed taro combo has an interesting texture but can get filling if you have too much.
Don’t keep this for more than 4 hours in the takeaway box or the rice will start to sour alittle.
Hard lesson learnt.
The prawn cakes were not bad but the sauce can get alittle salty if eaten on its own.
3 noodle options
Store was only opened for 4 days at time of visit, store aunties were quite friendly. Situated at the front-facing edge of timbre+
The yellow noodles was slightly sticking together and fragmented (mildly lumpy) but the chilli and pork rinds oil made the dish much more palatable. The broth was very flavourful and salty without the noodles but rich in prawny goodness.

🍧 🍓 🍨
Korean Strawberry: very sweet by the time you finish the whole scoop but nice flavour
Lychee Raspberry: very creamy but less sweet and bland-er after you’ve tried the first. Refreshing vibe overall but not sure why I tasted more coconut instead
Slight fruity fragrance
Only gripe is the straw design, the triple hollow sieve generates loads of bubbles 🫧 when the tea is passed through creating literal bubbles instead of tapioca bubbles.
Not sure is the store named Kung Fu Fish or Fat Cat Grilled Fish 肥猫烤鱼 as on the stamp card (collect 12 stamps for a free Half fish set).
Mala flavour 麻辣 口味, set comes with rice and Chuka wakame (seasoned sesame seaweed salad) ちゅかわかめ which is surprising for a Chinese 烤鱼 store.
Add $1 for sides (like Black fungus)
Add $0.80 to takeaway.
Very fragrant mala sauce made complex by the spices used.
Great variety of ingredients for the price, with 2 scallops, 2 artificial abalone slices, meatballs, tender lean meat, pork liver, minced pork.
Happily asked for more chilli and black vinegar on my Mee Sua, creating a amalgam of spicy, salty and sourish shiokness with an occasional crunch of crispy ikan bilis.
Add some frothy soup to encourage further mingling if the noodles have clumped up from being encased too long in their carrier tray.
Personally would prefer the soup to have less minced pork as the specks can make my throat slightly scratchy.
The food displayed in the open tend to become less fresh where the mushrooms 🍄 become mushy as they soak in the water and raw meats 🥩 smell a little close to dinner time.
Perhaps they don’t have to store the mushrooms in bowls of water.
They nailed the sauce base and the frying imparted a slight char fragrance to the stir-fry.
Good portions for the price.
