Lap Cheong Aglio Olio – Collective Brewers

Lap cheong aglio olio from Collective Brewers – sauteed garlic, chilli flakes and olive oil with linguine, alongside wilted spinach, shiitake mushroom and smoked chinese sausages. Not something I would have a second round of – prawns and aglio olio share a relationship no hussy has any right to homewreck – but this was surprisingly satisfying despite my initial reservations as to whether lap cheong’s sweetness fits well into the aglio olio framework. The smoked chinese sausages and shiitake mushroom combination gave the aglio olio a most tantalising fragrance, the wilted spinach provided a grassy chewiness, the linguine was well-oiled and the chilli padi reliably provided a good level of spiciness.  3.8/5
