She shared with Lao Dong when she tried both mussel rice and mussel noodles for the first time: "The flavor is quite special, a perfect combination of sour, spicy, and sweet flavors. The rice has a little less mussels, but the mussel soup is quite flavorful. To compare, I prefer mussel noodles more, but I would still rate both dishes about 8/10 points."
