Their akk skin is alright but really quite normal lol. This was way too savoury honestly, very strong pepperiness. Not sure what others expect but I like my salted mung beans still sweet but w a tad of saltiness, definitely not pepper
Slightly different spices than most
it's decent
Tender beef rendang, the spice was a little weak. Their pastry is interesting, despite being baked it's very strong, and has a serious hard crunch.
Apart from the interesting texture there's no special reason to visit, get one when you're walking past
As you can tell this is very deeply braised
It's got more bite than normal, probably cos it's treated somehow to remove the bones easily. Well deboned, only crunchy cartilage is left.
The garlic is ok but the sauce is mainly citrusy with no body, so I didn't like it too much
The bean curd cubes and the kelp both had more bite than normal.
PSA many of their items are not available, esp the eponymous one so it's ridiculous that they're not striking them out on the menu(intentionally)
Food:
Not particularly good but interesting at least. Tastes cheap, just like the pork meatballs
Don't bother asking for a little bit of spicy.
The spicy soup is very Chinese sweet braising liquid style and completely overwhelms the Japanese broth
Plum marinated, but much much much sharper than anything I've tried. It's more sour but not overly so, curious where that sharpness comes from.
It's not exceptional, the first one stunned me abit when it hit the back of my throat but curiously I can't stop myself from eating piece after piece
They said some 3 syllable word starting w l, but rlly it's basically your sambal. Sweet and spicy and it's the same kind as your normal hokkien mee sambal
Cauliflower had a good texture but the main flavour comes from the thick starchy sauce. I don't like these kindd as much, I think the ones with full amt of ingredients is better
Quite spicy, the eggplant comes w skin and the soft texture works well w their fantastic Kueh, the umami is also something. Hae bee gives it some heat
