DAN DAN MIEN (SOUP) + MAPO TOFU
Chen's Mapo Tofu, Singapore
Chen’s Signature Spicy Dan Dan Noodles with Savoury Minced Meat: Well-seasoned broth and the noodles had great chewy texture (qq?) but I would’ve preferred a more intense peanut flavor. I may prefer Din Tai Fung’s version.
Chen’s Signature Mapo Tofu: This is better than any of the mapo tofus I’ve had (not that I’ve been a fan but I wanted to give their signature dish a try). It’s full of flavor and it would enhance any bland food acting as a canvas (e.g. rice, gruel, bread) but the bitter aftertaste bothered me so will likely not repeat.
NB: Both cleared my sinuses good.
