Steamed Bean Curd, Scallops, Black Bean Sauce

at Li Li (New World Manila Bay)

-Malate, Manila-

solo

If not my personal favorite, Li Li holds strong as the best restaurant in the neighborhood (see most recently 6.276 Wok-Fried Diced Beef…).

What I’d hoped to be slam dunk dish turned out somewhat disappointing.  The components individually — scallops, silky tofu, kailan, as well as the black bean sauce — each okay.  But together, no harmony.
