The basic "set meal" for 288 is actually quite reasonable from Boss Chang — there has to be some dishes that allow customers with low spending habits to bite the bullet!
For instance, this serving right in front of Little Picky Eater.
The U-shaped face has a large diameter white porcelain bowl, filled with the signature red broth of amaranth, soaking the pearly white rice grains into a rosy pink hue.
The cooked amaranth leaves are dark green with deep red veins, neatly bunched up on top of the rice, looking quite substantial. A few careful decorations of soybeans are placed beside it. Speaking of looks, it's somewhat dismal.
But... it's valued at 288!
Then the comments started rolling in:
[Don't say, it's quite rustic, really fits the vibe of a rural courtyard]
[True! Rough yet gentle, matches well with the straw-woven grasshoppers in this behind-the-scenes cage!]
[Honestly, my home's leftover vegetable and rice mix has more ingredients — but this is 288!]
