Sure, find those 3 large bulbous wantons stuffed with 2 shrimps each.

Sure, find the whole oozy melty ajitama. Perhaps one of the softest forms for soft boiled ajitama (kudos on this; its really not easy to peel the softer it is)

Sure, find the crispy savoury potato prawn. It tastes so much like that childhood packet of Roller Coaster potato chips 😍

Sure, just look at that atas looking dried chili threads. Fooling you for saffron for that second.

There are even bitty bits of konbu blacks speckled all over.

And the briny scent of seafood in the chili PUNCHES you. No doubt.

With perfectly al-dente noodles.

But it’s the sous vide char siu that dare I say, has the ability to win your heart. It melts. It M E L T S. That is just incredible. The meats holds its structural integrity well but lovingly gives way upon reaching your tongue.

Flavours don’t particularly gel or stand out well together. The sum of its (beautiful) parts didn’t elevate the whole to a greater.
But every ingredient just screams EFFORT.

And that’s why, A for Effort. Super well deserving of its accolade. 8/10

Thankful I got to try! For its ultra limited time frame of opening 😋
