That fried whitebait gear tastes ok, it'd want to for the $70 a kilo it sells for. Cheaper to just buy a packet of it as fishing bait and deep fry it yourself!I've never really thought highly of food that's been named in an overly flowery way. Modern cooking shows have probably convinced a lot of restaurants that you can charge more if you apply a fancy name. And I also couldn't care less if the food isn't artistically presented which is the other big thing that modern cooking shows seem to think enhances a dining experience.
I've eaten that in Singapoore. Tasty stuff.
Agree with you on the artsy poncey presentation of food these days, just fucken heap it on the plate- as long as there is plenty of it. Went to a restaurant a few years back for a special occasion and the bill for 2 was $230 and I was fanging for a run through a drive-thru on the way back home an hour later.....shitty morsels of yuppified crap wouldn't of satisfied a toddlers hunger. It was garbage.
