Torta di Riso Pasta - The bold gochujang sauce worked perfectly with the ddokbokki, and even the konjac-based mock squid and shrimp. As a pasta sauce, however, I found it too sweet and too watery for my liking. I'd much rather just have this as a simple ddokbokki, or alternatively throw all of that sauce into the next dish... Jardin Bibimbap - Once again, ordering this vegan simply meant leaving out the poached egg. I enjoyed the smooth and springy texture of the barley rice, but found this dish otherwise bland and forgettable, with a much too underpowered gochujang compared to the previous dish. But remember what I said earlier about wanting the beetroot hummus in a grain bowl? A single dollop of that would have made this dish much better, methinks. DESSERT Peach Cream Sherbet - Loved the smooth and rich whipped cream and the tangy peach sorbet; when mixed together however, the latter tended to overpower the former, and I found it delicious overall albeit a little sharp. The mint garnish while aesthetically sound served no functional purpose whatsoever, much like the Lilliputian dessert spoon they provided - I ended up drinking my dessert through the glass straw used for my creme brulee latte; my friends without a straw had to finish up enough of the cream first before they could mix the rest into the sorbet without spilling. I'd try blending a little mint into the sorbet itself to balance out the flavours, as well as serving it in a bowl with a larger spoon to make it easier to mix and scoop. All in all, a fulfilling evening spent with good food, good company (surprised by a couple of old MCC regulars there!), and great service. Oppa was still my favourite dish, 10/10 would order again. 🤭
