FAT FOOK
Supposedly we're gonna try the newly open Din Tai Fung in the north but unfortunately the lines were unbearable. But there are plenty restaurants around that I thought maybe worth a try, and we ended up here (this was on my list).
The interior and space was impressive (I dunno why I said that like I hang out with Architects peeps lol), kinda attracts customers so kudos to whoever puts the effort for the design. The servers and staff were friendly and accomodating. I guess the waiting time took much longer than expected but as a normal people, we waited patiently.
This is a taiwanese street food / restaurant based on my research 😅 I haven't tried any of their meals before nor my parents, so this is new to us. Hate to say the truth but, we enjoyed the meal more on Tim Ho Wan than Fat Fook. I don't know if it was the umami that's lacking, or we're not that starving (it's 12 pm already) but also my mama said she liked the first resto we've been to. To be fair, the prices were insanely absurd because it's so affordable. and their serving were very generous that we almost didn't finish. But for the taste, it was just so-so. I tried their chocolate milk tea and definitely good but after hours I felt my tummy lurking 😅. I was also hoping that their Xiao Long Bao has that soft cover and more soup inside, but i guess they have to improve on that. It was our first time and I just said to myself that it tastes like our homemade siomai with a little soup broth. Their famous chicken chops, the breading has a different sour at first taste, then after 2nd bite fades but I can't explain really. It was good but not that special for me. I also compared the sweet and sour pork to David's, I like that better huhu. Mama said she will cook sweet and sour pork at home soon (competitive at its finest).
Over all, maybe I'll rate it 7/10.
Until our next food trip!
