Stay the Night

I am DEVASTATED 😭 I spent over 20 minutes writing my magnum opus of reviews just to have it disappear after I post it and realise that there’s an issue with our API server 🥲 We feel your pain too 🤞 So between this S$12.90 #pokebowl, some expensive energy drinks I got, & a brand new bottle of gin.. I’m on a #retailtherapy splurge 🥹 I’m luckily I decided to go for therapy today though cause wow, a new option! 🎉 It’s a #special available only at their Lau Pa Sat outlet inspired by the popular Satay Street at night. The #satay here is based on #jackfruit and gosh is it good 😋 The last time I had one of their #veganjackfruit dishes, I was not impressed because I still tasted far too much sweetness. This one was properly marinated though and rich in #peanut goodness 🥜 The #sataysauce was honestly a bit too runny and nothing like how I prefer or would personally make it, but it at least tastes pretty nice. Nobody goes for these hipster #pokebowls for authenticity anyways 😜 We’re just trying to feel something 💔 It comes with a #quinoa base & is paired with cucumber 🥒, pineapple 🍍, rocket leaves 🚀, and some amazing raw shallots 🧅 The broccoli you see there was an add-on on my part to up on the retail therapy aspect of this dish 😉 I’d get it again. I would probably need to again 🙃 Who would’ve thought that my bachelor’s in computer science would make me an expert in entomology? 🙂 🐜 🦟 🪳

The jackfruit were marinated with ginger, hence the spicy and light bitterness taste. The rocket leaves also forms a light bitterness taste as well. On the other hand, the satay sauce and honey pineapple offers sweet flavour. The carrot and shallots taste pretty refreshing. Overall, this is quite an interesting dish for me.

The jackfruit is succulent but in order to enjoy this dish, you have to eat together with other ingredients as the jackfruit has an overpowering ginger flavor. #abillionlove
