More food from Niu Dian at Holland Village.
Those golden coin cuts of beef from the a la carte menu are different from the ones that come with the noodles. These were dry and sliced thin. Kinda like salami minus the chewiness with a nice beefy flavour. I liked it on its own without the accompanying sauce on the side which was pretty strong tasting that it muted whatever natural flavour was present.
Tendon from the a la carte order is also a little harder. They appear to be stir fried. Reminded me of braised pig's skin. Not bad tasting. So the lesson for me here would be to get these beef parts with soup as a side order if I wanted to get those tender and thicker golden coin and softer tendons.
We tried a bowl with their traditional clear soup. Pretty mild tasting. Would work with the preserved vegetables and those beef tallow chilli paste.
Black sesame noodles were awesome. The paste/sauce tasted like the black sesame paste from Cantonese desserts with a lot less sweetness. It was still a little sweet though but it wasn't one that bothered me and I liked it. They asked us for the doneness of the noodles today which didn't seem to be an option the last time we were here.
The lime and sour plum green tea with aiyu jelly is kinda nice. 25% sweetness, lime-y and refreshing with the flavour of the green tea.
