Mui G Kitchen - Sunnybank

Have had some good friends recommend that I check out Mui G Kitchen at Sunnypark for some time now. I was a little hesitant to try it as there had been recent alterations in menu, so I let it settle for a bit before checking it out finally.

 

Previously they did an assortment of HK style main dishes to go with rice, but they have since simplified their menu to focus on two things only, onsen chicken rice and a customisable noodle soup.

Between the two of us, we shared one of each. This was the signature Hainan Chicken Rice. It's named onsen chicken to draw similarities to the hot springs of Japan, but I think that it means the chicken is made sous vide rather than being boiled on high heat. It was as expected, very smooth and silky. The portion was really large and covered a whole chicken maryland, I liked the mild homely seasoning and the fact it had no bones. The rice was also really well seasoned, probably one of the best seasoned rice bowls I've had in a while.

The other main dish we shared was the noodles soup, I had it with vermicelli noodles, clear soup and a side of pork chop, which was thankfully served on the side. The portion was a little small for the price tag but the flavours were light and delicate. The clear soup wasn't exactly clear but rich and wholesome. The noodles were also deliciously tender. It was a bit basic, and probably something I could have replicated at home, but still delicious.

We also had a serve of deep fried salt and pepper squid tentacles. These were freshly fried and almost tasted the same as the variety you would get at yum cha. The portion was generous and the squid wasn't overly chewy. We quite liked the dish.
