On Saturday, I swung by a spotless Japanese joint called
Teara Lab where they "experiment" with food. This mostly comprised of fusion dishes where Eastern flavours meet Western sandwiches. The conceit extended to the waitstaff wearing lab coats. It was a bit sparse but perhaps they'll pick up customers once the school year starts at the nearby University. In any case, I got the Pork Belly combo ($11.99).
The soy-glazed pork belly came with seaweed, avocado, fried onions, along with the usual lettuce and tomato. Though ostensibly a "hot dog", it was too messy to eat with your hands. The meat was possibly the fattiest pork belly I've ever had. The soy glaze was a bit too over the top and disguised the other flavour. The fries were nice and crispy. Overall, a good lunch but didn't blow me away.
