Review of Firecracker Monkey Head Mushrooms at LingZhi Vegetarian - Liat Towers by dafnelately

Quite a boastful description, their menu, for what is essentially just #deepfried battered mushrooms with some #chilli 🌶

“Monkey Head Mushroom is one of the traditional culinary treasures, otherwise known as the famed mountain treasure. To prepare this dish, the monkey head mushroom is first marinated with fragrant sauces, then mixed with dried chill), cashew nuts, peppercorns, ginger and Sichuan pepper oil, amongst other seasonings; before it is stir-fried to perfection.
It has an interesting chewy texture which leaves a pleasant aftertaste that you'll come to reminisce”

The texture for sure is spot on, but not just myself but the lot of us actually found it lacking in heat and flavour in general. It’s good, but hardly the best I’ve ever had. You get a spicy kick from having it with the dried chilli, but really I was expecting a peppercorn burn at the very least from eating this. A repeat order for sure, but simply because #sweetdreamsaremadeofgrease and this was is unhealthy as their menu gets 🙄
