A slightly left-field take on the #bakkutteh, this was a decidedly salty and also herbal interpretation. To be fair the origins of this dish are probably quite herbal, just that most practitioners these days go in the direction of peppery/tea-forward That picture doesn't do justice to how much I liked the ingredients - minimal vegetables, then #monkeyheadmushroom and some other kind of chewy #mushroom, #beancurd, and #soy #fakemeat 😋 Came with the usual soy sauce + cut chilli combination on the side, and I loaded it on 😁

Okay this was a bit weird actually. The #fakemeat (styled as #porkribs but nothing like it in terms of texture or in the sense of there being a bone 😅) was just delivered in one container, filling the entire lower half of it. Then the #whiterice was separately wrapped in a plastic sheet and tied together with a rubber band 😅 And there was an admittedly tasty #soup on the side. Flavour was decent but not outstanding. RM18.20 was an acceptable price but not super value. Middle of the road option really, but good enough for #lunch at work 🙂

This restaurant has atrocious copywriting - every single menu item on their GrabFood page contains 1 or more orthographic, syntactic, or lexical errors. Even their Mandarin is screwed up, it should be 宫保 🙄 You know what's even more screwed up? Their packaging. When this arrived, the dark #gongbao sauce was dripping out from under the lid on all 4 sides of the container, and nothing else in the bag was uncontaminated. You can see smears of it on the rim of the bowl, and that happened just as I was pouring the #soup out 😪 It's a shame because the flavour wasn't bad, if a bit unconventional (tasted like 宫保 meets #sweetsauce 🥰) The #fakechicken is actually beneath all that #whiterice, and the stuff on top is just a side dish; I really couldn't be bothered to plate for the camera when they royally screwed the whole thing up anyway 😩

A #dumpling dish with concubine in the name, just the edifying image that you need for a weekday lunch 😏 To be fair the #soup was tasty and not at all too healthy, but my gripe would be that the dumplings were too much skin and too little filling, plus the filling tasted more like minced pork than the #prawn that they namedropped to add a couple of ringgit to the price tag 😏 You get 7 pieces per serving. It's a prime number, so I guess I'm #notsharing 😛

I don't know what the Hokkiens in southern Malaysia grew up eating, seriously. Come up north, we'll show you 😏 This is not what I call #hokkienmee, even if in its own right it's not that terrible. Thick black sauce with fat #noodles (which I don't like, they're bland 🥱) At least this was stuffed with loads of ingredients - #cabbage, #fakemeat pretending to be balls of #lard, #fakemeat pretending to be #meatballs, #tofu puffs, #yuba, thin #fucuk. You see, this has loads of potential 🥺

Meh this wasn't fantastic but not too bad either. The #fakemeat was chunky and a bit on the dry side. It worked as a #drumstick surrogate but wouldn't have worked as, say, wings 😐 I was hoping for flavoured/spiced rice rather than #whiterice 🤷‍♂️ At least the #chilli was good. The black sauce was a bit too sour and insufficiently sweet, but maybe that's just me and my personal preferences 😛 This dish came completely devoid of vegetables, a throwback to times when people weren't all pretending to be healthy! 😏

You might baulk at the RM18.20 price tag for this #horfun (oddly they use #kueyteow and #beehoon, not a common combination 🤨), but it was stacked with delicious ingredients and well worth every cent 😋 The gravy was sweet and delicious, there was real volume to the dish, and the real highlight was the #tofu pockets that absorbed the fluid and unleashed its wonderful flavour with every bite 🤤 Real solid effort, would get again.
