After a not-so-impressive dinner two years ago, I went back to Anju recently for their Abalone Gim Pasta ($34). As that odd girl who orders an entire plate of pasta (meant for sharing) all to herself; I really enjoyed the slurpy chilled noodles. With quite the chewy bite, the thin al dente strands were well-coated with oyster sauce, seaweed sauce and perilla oil. Tangy with hints of savouriness and earthy-sweetness. Dressed together with chopped perilla leaves, the plump sous vide sliced abalone was superbly sweet too, and fresh-tasting with a lovely buttery aftertaste. The aromatic greens and the inclusion of pickled shallots also provided a nice gentle crunch into the mix.
