had this dish, each component is very well done–the dry aged barramundi was tender/flakey and skin had nice char. the grains of rice was very flavorful and well seasoned, prob better than most hainan rice places. overall a successful dish that would order again. Not so sure about the dill pickle slices though, the acid of it was bit sharp. maybe it’s the asian grandmother in me that i would prefer some sour but mellow fermented mustard greens instead.
but i wouldn’t say anything about the combination of fish and rice is anything revelatory. fried fish and rice, ginger/scallion is a can’t miss staple combination.
it was fried well and crispy–the seasoning was bit understated as it came with fine salt and pepper and lime on the side (maybe an ode of bo luc lac?) but either way, my daughters appreciated it as most places wings to tend be overly dressed, so this veered in the opposite direction with it’s subtleness.
