Along with a tangy brown gravy, I wasn’t expecting much from dishes at character cafes but I guess I shall withdraw my doubts when I tasted this duck confit. Surprisingly it surpassed my expectations (and was actually my favourite dish among others I’ve tried despite its less alluring outlook); a tender, meaty interior that was easily sliced apart adorned with a slightly crisp, charred golden brown skin coating. The sides that came along unfortunately only enhanced the outlook and not the palatability of the dish. Despite having a subtle albeit distinct truffle flavour and aroma, the texture of the mash potato was thick and paste-alike, without the characteristic smooth, creamy and melt-in-the mouth texture. The miffy okonomoyaki pancake was also rather dry and tough, lacking crispness in its exterior. Nevertheless, thank goodness that the highlight of this dish- duck confit was one that was satisfying and enjoyable, compensating for that slight disappointment .
