Roasted Crispy Pork Belly (3.5): essentially lechon kawali, amazing contrasting textures, crispy on the outside, ridiculously tender inside, delicate pork flavor.Asado Steamed Bun (2.0)Taro Puff (1.5): minced pork, encased in taro, but too mushy.Unicorn Style Chicken with Ham & Black Mushroom (1.5): essentially Hainanese chicken, ham was way too salty, mushrooms okay.Smoked Beancurd Sheet Roulades with Shredded Vegetables (0.5): inedibly salty and greasy, the first dish that I’ve had to send back; to the management’s credit, they admitted that it hadn’t been properly executed and canceled the order from the final bill.Pan-Fried Beef with Flat Rice Noodle (3.0): solid, but otherwise unremarkable.Egg Tart (2.0): the classic Hong Kong snack, slightly sweet, could work as a mini-dessert, right before a final plate of fruit.
The highlight of the meal were the Singaporean Spareribs. Chopped into bite-sized pieces, some with bone, some without. Breaded, deep-fried -nicely crisp. Coated in a sweet sesame-soy glaze, tasting somewhere between Korean galbi and Kyochon chicken.
