I won’t win any prizes for re-plating, but perhaps the true prize is how tasty every course was…

How was the salad with creamy tarragon dressing?

Hopefully somewhere there is the pickled watermelon rind in passion fruit. That bite even before the porridge blew my mind and sold me on the place.

This…
True dat - tough ones to plate but damn yummy.
I’m not proficient on IG - my contest photos were/are too big and a couple cutoff. DIL is now schooling me. 
Here’s the dinner in the medium I’m most comfortable with… FTC.
Gold Set - Composing a Big Meal From a Stuffed Box
Miso Roasted Bone-in Chicken Thighs (choice of protein optional) / Roasted Veggies / Cold Tofu Salad / Potato Salad / Beets / Seasonal Pickles / Pickled Egg / Rice + Legumes
Here it goes…
Vedge on a Plate
Yep, the pickled vedge is special @JeetKuneBao.
Beets Two-Ways
Miso Roasted Bone-in Chicken Thighs / Roasted Veggies / Pickled Egg / Rice + Legumes
I took advantage of the beet juice seepage and garnished the rice + legumes with fuchsia colored grains. Reheated (sans eggs) and served on an oven-safe plate.
Happily Reunited w/Pickled Eggs
I rarely order chicken in restaurants because I’m a chicken cooker; skin-on, bone-in are my specialty. Shut that front door @Chowseeker1999 @attran99 @Hungrydrunk @moonboy403 @NYCtoLA @PorkyBelly and Others! 
Even reheated on a plate it was moist, juicy and the perfect skin was even perfecter (spices, caramelized miso, acidity, charred chicken fat, yum). No inside shot… Hungry! The pickled eggs had a little spillage (ummm takeout). But guess where they spilled? On the rice! 
It was at first hard to imagine no Porridge from Porridge + Puffs. No complaints here!
Edit: I forgot dessert!
Brown Butter Mochi
They really know how to do good things with Mochi.

Hi @TheCookie,
Thanks for the great report back. Yes that Chicken & Rice looks fantastic! 
It’s neat that the Gold Set changes (and not just preset). We didn’t get the Chicken in our last Gold Set, but I hope it’s available next time we go.

More info on the Miso Roasted Chicken. I was curious about the tang and thought maybe Lemongrass. Nope, even better. “It’s fermented in sake lees for a few days which naturally tenderizes the chicken without msg.”

Can confirm that PP is back at the OG location Friday -Sunday! The website is not updated nor do I see any online order, updates on Eater, but I got the goods just visit during regular hours? Sorry my details are little sketch but In my brief conversation with chef Minh, she wants a very slow roll out.
Porridge and pickles forthe rainy cold weather!
