This is the Dubudang Pure Soy Drink ($8.50), purchased directly from the restaurant. It is identical to the complimentary soy milk served to diners at the beginning of each meal.

The beverage presented with an opaque off-white hue. Aroma opened with rich, nutty soybean notes of moderate intensity.

Initial contact delivered an exceptionally creamy, mouth-coating viscosity, noticeably thicker than commercially produced soy milk and the freshly made soy milk from Hoa Hung. Alongside its nutty soybean profile was an unexpectedly deep savoury character that bordered on a béchamel-like richness, yet without the dairy component or the grassy astringency that often accompanies soy milk. Through the mid-palate, the savoury notes gradually softened, allowing the sweeter, nuttier qualities of the soybean to become more prominent and familiar. The beverage maintained a smooth, cohesive texture throughout, with its richness remaining substantial without becoming heavy or cloying.

Towards the finish, the soy flavour resolved into a clean, mellow nuttiness that lingered pleasantly on the palate. Despite its thickness, the drink remained remarkably clean tasting, leaving neither the drying sensation nor the grassy bitterness commonly associated with many soy-based beverages. Aftertaste carried delicate roasted soybean notes with a gentle natural sweetness.

Overall, a fresh soy milk beverage with a layered savoury-to-nutty flavour trajectory and an exceptionally creamy mouthfeel, resulting in a rich yet remarkably refined expression of freshly made soy milk.
