I asked my husband to give me a mark on this dish, I managed to get only 7 mark (perfect is 10 mark lor, benchmark with the Hainan Curry Rice shop), the reasons being:-

1) too salty ( I agreed, because I added too much of bean sauce)
2) beancurd skin not soft enough ( I agreed too, cooked not long enough)
3) meat roll too big ( again I agreed)
4) not enough five-spice powder ( not really agreed, actually I have added quite big sum of it.)

So, if you want to try out this recipe and get perfect mark, please take note above comments, ok...
