| - Braved windspeed of 65-97 km/h yesterday just for food. Also because decent shots were not captured the first time around, so was on a mission to go back especially for that prawn toast! Owner and staff were very friendly and attentive, so the second time around as just as nice.

[MUST GET! SO DELICIOUS] Truffle Rice $14 - Super highly recommend this dish. Truffles were so fragrant mixed into the rice, but it was the poached egg melded into everything else was where the magic sparked. Only thing that could had been better was for the dish to be hotter, then that'd be next level of black magic f*ckery.
[Very delicious!] Prawn Toast $9 - The entire "toast" was actually pulverized shrimp remolded back into a toast. Found it super neat and tasty. The outter panko layer was crunchy, while the prawn inside was nice and soft; sprinkling sesame seed over it allowed for some nice and nutty aroma. While I wasn't a big fan of the nuoc cham (fish sauce dip), I did liked it a lot better with the spicy aioli sauce for the chicken.
[Must order for fried chicken lovers] $14 - Batter tasted very light, and some nutty aroma could be detected seeped into the chicken pieces as whole; fried in peanut oil? SO was impressed that the flesh remained moist and tasted fantastic with the aioli sauce. One thing that could have been improved would to allow the oil to drain a bit on a rack first before serving.
Steamed Snow Crab Sticky Rice $14 - Came out pipping hot from a bamboo steamer basket. It was nice there were generous pieces of crab in the rice. Mixing it with XO sauce made it taste even better. I would have ranked this perfect but just really disliked the flava beans which kind of ruined the flavours for me.
Confit Duck Biang Biang Noodle $13 - SO liked how al dente the hand made noodles were, but the duck was just very dry and frankly a bit bland. The poached egg again saved the dish, but it wasn't as mind-blowing as the rest.

Overall, loved this place, but I did have 1 qualm and that was with the hot water. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out what it was, and then I finally realized it was from the water--tasted like duck or some kind of weird plastic aftertaste. Please please use a water boiler, preferably one where it doesn't give off that taste.
Owner was very kind to offer us cheesecake for coming in despite all the weather warning, but we must decline since we were stuffed to the brim.
Will visit again in the future for that black magic f*ckery truffle rice.
