So Chen's Mapo Tofu has aburi mala charshu. Couldn't help but to compare them to the one from Ch叉r because there aren't any others. At least not that I am aware of.
I like the sweet smokiness in these thin slices of pork belly. Not especially tender considering that they weren't chunky cuts and had a bit of bite to them. No disintegrating fat as well. Like Ch叉r, it was mostly sweet with a light heat that's layered with the flavour of mala spicing. I didn't think it was bad tasting. Nicely done aji tamago with shoyu infusion on the side and I don't know what's up with the kombu noodles because it neither looked nor tasted like kombu. Or are those not made with kombu? 🤔
We grabbed the duck karaage because we've never had one. Batter wasn't so much like what we know of tori karaage. It's thicker, was suitably crispy and had a nice taste to it. What pleasantly surprised me was how tender the meat was. I might not have known it was duck.
