Been a while since we last ate at
Kai Duck.
Chilled tomatoes with passionfruit.
Previously, this dish was done with sesame sauce. We've also finally figured out the flavour of those jellied bits below the tomatoes - it's as far as we can tell, sour plum (酸梅). This change to passionfruit as topping definitely improved the dish. The words that came to mind to describe them were 'freshingly invigorating' from the sweet citrus tanginess.
Finally tried their roast duck. This was a half. Breast meat was pretty tender, much more so than the bony parts including the thighs which weren't as meaty. Crisp skin, thin layer of fat beneath and in a herbal marinate/sauce.
This was stir fried Chinese yam with sugar snap peas and stuffed morel. I got this because morels. Not a lot of them and their flavours weren't much in this dish. The stuffing was a pretty delicious prawn paste. Those Chinese yam had varied texture - some were slightly crunchy while others were like boiled potato.
Seafood fried rice tasted old school and smoky. Seafood actually consisted of just tobiko and pretty generous portions of prawn chunks. Even though it was a little more greasy than I usually prefer, we found ourselves shovelling spoonfuls after another. Not bad.
