4. Tar Pau Nation: Rice and noodle bowls brimming with toppings from The Plattering Co.
Most rice or noodle bowls come with the carbs reaching more than half the container because they not only fill you up easily, but also cost less than the meat and vegetables making up the rest of the dish.
But not those from The Plattering Co. In fact, when you remove the lid, you cannot even see the rice grains or noodles underneath the chunks of meat and vegetables.
The Sea Salt Chicken Thigh With Japanese Mushroom Rice ($15), for example, is topped with a beautifully baked boneless piece of chicken that is chopped into thick slices. There are also fat wedges of roasted pumpkin and red and yellow capsicum, broccoli florets and a marinated egg that is cut in two.
