Review of Gong Bao Mushroom at Eight Treasures by dafnelately
I had this recently as part of another dish https://www.abillion.com/dishes/eight-treasures-kung-bao-monkey-mushroom-with-golden-veg-lemon-duck-10404300 when I recollected that I have indeed had this before! Months ago before #chinesenewyear came around 𧧠and another time at my friendâs place! đĄ One of the more odd things I love about this #gongbao / #kungpao rendition is that itâs less #spicy than most đ«ą Iâll explain.. đ Instead of betting on the #mala or even attempting to cater to a market that either canât take any heat or absolutely depends on it, this one focuses on texture and #umami đ€€ I love #fritters and #monkeyheadmushroom - combining the two is definitely the way to my heart! đ« Especially if itâs going to pack this much grease! đ They stand out by packing more than just the bare essentials. Tonnes of vegetables so evenly coated in their artery clogging sauce! From a sample size of 2 the vegetables this is stir-fried with seem to change ie. the glaring omission of cashews the second time around, but taste-wise youâd really be none-the-wiser. Easily one of my faves in a restaurant with banger after banger đ
