I came into King of Pao Fan with sky-high expectations because of their credentials.
The stock, which was the heart of the pao fan, was seafoody and crustaceany without being overly rich. It thus retained a light and refreshing taste, on top of the unmistakable fact that this was a seafood soup. The addition of the rice crispies and fried egg added texture, flavour and some richness, and the lobster was quite good – clearly fresh since the meat was fall off the shell, sweet and tasty, and bouncy and qq.
Just in case you think I am getting forgetful, I am fully aware that I had blogged about the Vegetarian Thunder Tea Rice from Temple Street...
I ate the bowl pretty quickly. The broth was silky and savory, and they loaded it up with lots of crispy rice to keep it exciting.
