My lunch.
My first real failure of a meal. I got NOTHING that I asked for, and I pointed at the pictures on the menu when I ordered. The dumplings were ok, but were not pork which is what I ordered, I think maybe crab?
The soup however, is terrible, that big dumpling at the back is not a dumpling, its some kind of bandage with spices wrapped in it. I guess it goes into the soup, we do the same thing in western cooking with whole spices, but you dont usually serve it up.
Despite my bandaid full of not sure what, the soup has no flavour. The other stuff floating in it besides bok choy is bread. I know our malay friends put bread in laksa, but that has flavour to absorb.
Camera Details: Canon, Canon PowerShot S90
