| - I must be outright honest - the taste isn't to everyone's liking, but the food is quite good (objectively speaking). We ordered the fermented green tea salad, the mohinga (fish soup with rice noodles), and the spicy chicken curry.
The green tea salad came first, and it consists of lots of unidentified greens and tomatoes generously slathered in oil and filled with loads of sesame seeds and fried beans and peanuts. The taste is very distinct and special! The seeds and fried beans make the dish very fragrant.
The spicy chicken came next. My dad's main complaint was that the curry wasn't hot enough... Seemed like it was microwaved, but not quite enough. There were three portions of chicken, with some potatoes, and the curry came with white rice, salad, and soup. The soup had a very fragrant chicken oil flavour, and there were mashed potato bits at the bottom. I really enjoyed the soup! The waitress was very worried that we wouldn't be able to handle the spice and so urged us to order the medium spice level... However, we didn't find the medium spice to be spicy at all!
The fish soup came last. The rice noodles are all cooked to a mush, and the entire dish screams comfort. You're meant to eat it with a spoon, after adding some lime/lemon and roasted chili seeds to your liking. It was good, and the fried bits were definitely an interesting touch. I would've preferred more soup and less mush... Haha!
