Review of Smoky Zalmon Guac Rice at nomVnom Bistro by roshninagaria

A new dish at nomvnom bistro!

Smoky Zalmon Guac Rice features a new (local, I believe?) brand called Happiee who are the zalmon in the dish, on a bed of sesame seasoned rice, accompanied by in house made guac which paired perfectly with the zalmon and rice through its freshness and coolness, with broccoli and tomatoes for that necessary crunch, juiciness, bite, and fresh veg experience, and a slice of lemon to squeeze over for another necessary element: fresh, tangy, citrus (I love citrus!)…this dish left me with no ordering regrets! 😍 The smokiness of the zalmon (smoked by nomvnom) was subtle but noticeable and well thought out.

The owner, Wai Lek, told me that the zalmon adopts the same or similar string like qualities of fish. Another staff member there likened the zalmon to eating stingray which, not gonna lie, put me off at first because I’ve never eaten animal products in my life, and then I started to imagine eating a stingray, the thought of which made me feel sick…but I get that comparison appeals to some people and it’s my issue, not his 🙈

This was a yummy dish and I’m glad I ordered it! I hope it makes its way on to the main menu…but for now, try it as a special while you can!

I had an iced matcha with soy milk to go with this (no photo) but went with it so well too! Can’t resist that drink.
