Hopped in to Morsels for lunch with V. I like catching up with her regularly. When our schedules are mad and cannot do things together, like hit the gym or something, meals are easier to arrange. I like this little restaurant and never had a bad meal there. Their lunch rotation of noodle bowls is rather fun. It was wonton mee for the week. The kitchen tends to make slight tweaks to the flavors through the years, but I've always liked it.
Today's ingredients stated: charred pork jowl char siew with springy egg noodles coated with herbal umami sauce, kimchi pork wonton, accompanied by jalapeño citrus chilli and rich chicken broth. Awesome noodles done al dente, dnd I could deal with the kimchi in the wontons. However, this char siew was incredibly fatty, more so than other bowls in its previous iteration. No, let me amend that. It was ALL FATS. Granted, the menu said 'pork jowl char siew', but woah... I couldn't eat the char siew. SAD.
Added a portion of steamed venus clams in dried fig chicken broth, homemade kimchi and pickled wakame. It came with a few pieces of bread, and that was filling. The kitchen also sent us a complimentary portion of Irish Gallagher oysters topped with tosazu vinaigrette, pickled samphire, yuzu tobiko and sea buckthorn shrub. Those were delicious — extremely appetizing!
