| Spicy Miso Ramen The noodles were chewy and delicious, the soup was incredibly rich and flavorful, the cha siu was also tender and fatty, and the addition of sprouts, spring onions, and onions added the right amount of crunch. A delicious bowl of ramen! The only complaint is the overcooked egg. |
 |
| Thor Buns These were like your regular pork belly buns that have been super popular for a little bit in the states and now Hong Kong. They were not bad, but definitely not the best I've had. The bun was nice and soft, and it had all the regular components but the pork could be thicker and more tender. Ippudo and Momofuku versions are definitely better :) |
 |
| Sesame House Noodles This was really yummy and refreshing! I really liked how it's mostly salad and the ramen noodles were cooked to a perfect al dente. The salad was fresh and crisp and the pork was a perfect balance of sweet and savory. The sesame sauce was also very yummy and blended everything into a yummy mess that was perfect for a DAMN HOT DAY (I was sweating like a pig). |
 |
| Haha ok so it was like 9 am but it's the weekend... TREAT YOSELF |
 |
| Beef Lok Lak Beef lok lak is a traditional Cambodian dish but I've seen several different ways to do it. Overall its chunks of beef sautéed in a rich sauce. The other time I had it there were peppers and I think pineapple added to it also. This was quite yummy! It was a very hearty dish and the sauce was robust and peppery. The egg as you can see was almost too perfect, it looked like a cartoon egg or something. I rather it be a bit more rustic because the egg white was a bit too plasticy textured. |
 |
| Fried Noodle with Pork and Egg I had a small bite of this because it was my friends and I really enjoyed it! The noodles were chewy and had a great bite to them. The egg was also super yummy as it was smothered in the sauce and te amount of veggie and meat was also good. I will definitely get this next time. |
 |
| Water-cooked Dumplings As you can see, the dumplings are slightly messy and they definitely contained much more veggie than pork. I usually don't mind that there is a higher ratio of veggie to pork but this was to the next level. The skin was a bit too thin as I like to have a bit of a chew to my dumpling. They were not bad, but I think I will order the noodles next time! |
 |
| Mmmm what to get what to get?! |
 |
| I forgot the name of this, but it was basically a espresso martini in a cute glass that I got to keep. The drink was freshly made too and then sealed with a little metal cover. Super cute! |
 |
| Chicken Fingers Extremely solid chicken fingers. Juicy and high quality chicken lightly breaded with the perfect amount of crunch. Pretty sure that was kewpie mayo also which is just a gift from the gods. I love mayo always but kewpie is just NEXT LEVEL shizz. |
 |
| Market Chips - Root Veg, Black Sugar, Shichimi These market chips are SO delicious. The addition of the black sugar just genius and really makes these chips rise above other veggie chips. They are fried to crispy perfection and the sticky sweetness complements them so perfectly. They are also so pretty with all their vibrant colors! |
 |
| Mineeee! |
 |
| Katsu Sando - Pork Katsu, Tonkatsu Sauce, Milk Bread Oooooo this was so yummy. The katsu was not what I expected but it was still amazing. If you've been to Yardbird, the katsu tasted like a deep fried patty of the tsukune (chicken meatball). The katsu is then smothered in creamy slaw and savory tonkatsu sauce. This amazingness is then enveloped by two slices of fluffy Japanese milk bread. Eating this was like the taste equivalent of the feeling of wrapping yourself up in a soft fluffy fleece blanket. I'm a poet. |
 |
| Hash Browns I really liked how these hash browns looked but their shape made for an overabundance of the soft fluffy middle and I much prefer the crunchy outer layer. The hash browns were still really yummy with a soft fluffy core and crunchy exterior but I actually prefer Mcdonald's. Those are quite unbeatable really. |
 |
| Muesli - Topped with Fresh Fruit, Served with Greek Yogurt, Skimmed Milk, and Honey S got a big bowl of health muesli and we all teased her about it because we were on a mission to pig out. She didn't really enjoy it and I also thought that the ratio of muesli to yogurt and milk was very odd. They gave her a tiny amount of yogurt and milk and it resulted in this dry lump of muesli that was not very palatable. The fruit looked quite good though. |
 |
| Oolaa Laa Pizza - Cajun Spiced Chicken, Spinach, Mushroom, with Sweet Chili and Sour Cream Nom nom nom this pizza was quite delicious. I enjoyed the unique pairing of flavors and the crust was very decent. This actually reminded me of a pizza I use to get in high school from Pepperoni's in Stanley Market. The dollop of sour cream and sweet chili sauce really gives the pizza a nice kick and the chicken pieces were the perfect bite size. |
 |
| Linguine alle Vongole - Fresh Clams, Scorched Tomatoes, Saffron, in a White Wine Garlic Sauce I only had a small bite of this but it was quite good. A little bit salty and unlike the usual vongole which is more delicate in flavor but still a solid pasta dish. It was also a little more oily than usual but the pasta was cooked well and the clams were plump. |
 |
| Linguine Carbonara - Crispy Pancetta, Shallots, Garlic, and Parmesan, tossed with Organic Egg Yolk Eeeeeee carbonara is my ultimate fatty indulgences (well one of a few). I just looooove creamy pastas and that added with bacon is just to die for. Now I know that this is not prepared the traditional way with no cream but this was oh so good. The pasta was super creamy and decadent and the amount of bacon was generous. It would be even better if the bacon was crispier and there was more black pepper! This really hit the spot. |
 |
| Amuse Bouche - Cheese Puff This was a nice start to the meal, the cheese puff was decadent and yummy. The cheese flavor was strong and the puff was light and flaky. |
 |
| Lobster and Mussels Pappardelle The sweetness of the seafood really shined through and the pasta was also well made. The amount of lobster was also quite generous. |
 |
| Pasture Raised Chicken, Kohlrabi, and Parsnip Puree The chicken was cooked well and the meat was relatively juicy while the skin was crispy. The entire dish however just was not too exciting. Overall it was just quite sweet and didn't really make a lasting impression. It was not bad, just not that great. |
 |
| Venison Loin, Sausage, and Roasted Vegetables The venison loin was cooked perfectly, the inside was amazingly pink as you can see and it was so tender. But once again, this plate was just quite sweet and none of the different flavors of the components really came together to result in an amazing harmony of flavors. Honestly this dish was good, but it just was lacking SOMETHING. |
 |
| Herb Falafel - Served with Hummus, Babaganoush, Salsa Verde, Pita Bread and Salad The falafel is different than the ones most people are used to, they are much more pureed and lack that grainy and robust flavor. However, I still really like Artillery's rendition and the hummus, salsa, and babaganoush are all excellent. The falafels taste like little hummus croquettes, they have a soft smooth center and a thin crispy outside layer. Some may prefer the more authentic version where it is more dense and bolder in flavor, but I still really enjoy the falafel here! Some people who are extra careful has also chosen not to eat the salad but since I have trained my tummy with years and years of street food nomming I eat everything in sight and have not been sick at all :D |
 |
| Live Bruschetta - Fresh Bruschetta with Raw Tomatoes, Shallot, Lime, Basil, and Himalayan Pink Rock Salt. Served on Toasted Bread rubbed with Garlic I don't really know why they call the bruschetta live... maybe to hype up how very fresh it is? But either way this is SO fresh and bursting with bright flavors that I don't really care about the silly name. You are presented with perfectly toasted bread and a mountain of tomatoes that are all cut up into perfect little pieces with just the right amount of seasoning. Of course being the graceful person that I am I accidentally flipped the entire bread upside down onto the table after a few bites..... |
 |
| You can add homemade sweet potato and taro chips! Super yummy |
 |
| Basil and Garlic Hummus - with vegetable dipping sticks and warm pita bread Mmmmmmmm the hummus is soooo good here. I usually hate carrot sticks but these were actually quite agreeable with me. |
 |
| Raw Carrot Cake This was very interesting but probably not something I will order again. It was a very very dense carrot patty with intense spices. I appreciate the creativity, but I much prefer real carrot cake with an obscene amount of cream cheese frosting! |
