| - The last time I had to add salt to something was when I was 12, when I added salt to my friend's glass of water while he wasn't looking.
Crazy lines in the first 2 weeks of opening, but it's much quieter now. Badao has a small selection of dishes, which makes it seem legit.
For starters, we ordered a side of spicy cucumber sticks. Salted, spicy, and has good crisp. Not bad.
I went for a braised pork noodle soup. The noodles had great texture, and absorbed the soup really well, but the soup itself was watery. In fact, I typically complain about things being too salty, but this one was bland to the point I added salt for the first time.
But salt alone wasn't enough to save the soup. After adding a quick dash of vinegar, distinguishable flavours started to come out. I still believe they could have made a tastier soup, especially since they have broth from the braised pork that they can add to the dish.
Also I think the meat could be fatter, or braised for a little longer, for some pieces were tough.
In terms of decor, the place is well lit and spaced out, so I would bring a first date here, and pray that she isn't a picky eater.
