While their dishes might not be refined, they certainly still tasted good.
For XLB, they too offered their rendition of salted egg yolk and chilli crab flavours. Both were tasty in their ways, and the XLB skin was thin and good too.
With a direct comparison, we felt that their pork ribs and fried rice were just as delicious. Their black chicken soup was a comforting dish with a distinct ginseng taste.
So while the dishes were just as good without particularly standing out; dining at Ju Hao was certainly a favourable choice with the competitive discounts available.

Definitely HAOππ» to gather with friends, just like my catch-up with my βoldβ friend from Sydney! β€β€β€

At JU HAO, youβll get to enjoy a set meal for $8.80++ on weekdays 11am-5pm, which is a pretty good deal IMO as a normal bowl of noodles here already costs you $8.80++ ala carte. β Essentially uβre getting a free cup of Chinese tea ($1++), 2 sides and a dessert (Gui Ling Gao, $3.80++) for free! βπ»

There are 2 choices - Special Signature Noodle Set or their Braised Pork Rice Set. One of the side dish differed, which we had the luxury to try both as we ordered 1 set each. π
.
Both the silky-smooth cold sliced tofu & crunchy chilled cucumbers with braised peanuts were extremely refreshing! π The sauce was like the chicken rice gravy - savoury with an irresistible fragrance which enhanced the otherwise plain tofu & cucumbers. I LIKED THEM! πππ The fried spring rolls were just alright.
.
I had their signature noodles, which was springy with a firm bite. π However, the sauce leaned towards the sweet side, which I would have preferred a savoury taste, just like that of my friendβs Braised Pork Rice!
.
The thinly-sliced pork belly slices were pretty soft & topped with sweet pickled radish (my guess). π€€ I added lots of their chilli condiment to spice up the bowl. π₯ Overall, their mains are pretty one-dimensional in terms of taste; nothing impressive.
.
The Gui Ling Gao was good though! ππ»ππ»ππ» The iconic bitterness of herbs used was prominent but mellowed down by the sugar syrup drizzle & crunchy bits of pear (again my guess). A nice cooling treat to end off the meal! π

Safe trip back to Paris & all the best for your adventures in Zurich, @natsumi_hh! π

Tried the prawn fried rice. Lacks seasoning as it was borderline bland. Not the nicest of prawns either. Needs the condiments to help (chilli soy sauce vinegar) 3/5
Signature noodles with shrimp and pork wantons at this DTF-esque eatery. DTF-esque because they serve the same kind of northern and southern china dishes: noodles, Xiao long bao, pork cutlet fried rice.
These noodles are 'inspired' by the Singapore bak chor mee θθι’, which got me psyched up. Alas, the sauce it was tossed in turned out a weird more sweet-than-savoury. The wanton meat filling were very flavourful though, granted. A huge plus was the above-average xiao long bao, which had a similar flavourful meat filling oozing with soup encased in a thin skin.
Best of all? The basket of 5 xiao long baos were free - as with 2 orders of the signature noodles. All-day on weekends. Now don't say I didn't share
I didn't know MOF do Chinese cuisine too. This place has v Gd service! ππΌππΌππΌ
