As a long time fan of Simon, I requested a repeat from last year with the prawn popiah and got to try the first rendition of this menu this past Sunday and it sure hit on every level. The duck liver mousse on the bottom of the Kueh pie tee mousse was scrumptious, chicken rice with black cod was outstanding, I couldn’t get the oversized - prepared to perfection - popiah in my mouth fast enough. I perhaps would have served the salmon first given its refreshing lighter flavors but couldn’t have been happier with this meal.

great eat lunch time with chef Simon.
He makes food with great care with great ingredients.
Honestly need to charge more to be profitable but it’s his decision. Good value meal.

excellent lunch, favorite menu yet. as much as i liked the chilli crab pot pie, i think the new pie filled with confit duck leg, binchotan-grilled then pickled matsutakes, roasted honeydew radish, and brown duck jus was just as good. favorite chicken rice and savory pie in la.
review forthcoming @boourns @J_L @fuwa?
black pepper prawn kueh pie tee
i could eat a dozen of these, heat and spicy level on the prawns and texture of the shell were perfect.
aromatic chicken broth with matsutake
so comforting
confit duck leg and binchotan-grilled matsutake pie
comes with a side of simon’s excellent chili sauce and crispy duck skin to crumble on top.
i wanted to save half for later to have room for the rice but it was just too good and i finished it all.

Kueh pie tee was my favorite version from Simon so far! Two was not enough 
and you kind of have to one bite it, I wanted to savor it some more. Would gladly pay for more! I think he said he used kampot peppers? I really liked it and thought the corn was a nice pairing, could see it working with other corn preparations when baby corn isn’t available too.
Matsutake chicken broth with ginger, lemongrass, and lime leaf was A+, perfect salt level for my taste too.
Even half the pie was hefty, but it’s so good. I didn’t know the pro move was to crumble the crispy duck skin onto the pie filling and ate all mine first. Thanks for giving me some of yours @PorkyBelly
Chicken rice donabe was excellent and plentiful. Perhaps the first time I’ve ever seen @PorkyBelly tap out before the donabe was finished.
