| - We walked past this restaurant in Chinatown on a cold November night and it looked pretty busy so we were inclined to go and give it a try. After reading other reviews I guess we got lucky and did not have to wait for a table on a Thursday evening.
After we were promptly seated, we were then given a paper menu and a pen to mark our orders. You choose your soup base and it comes with 10 free toppings (mushrooms, corn, mussels, bean curd, ham, quail egg, black fungus, shrimp, fish cake, and zha jiang), pork slices, spinach and UNLIMITED NOODLES. All this can be yours on a cold winter night for $8 plus tax and tip!
I got the tomato flavour soup base and it had a nice tang to it and it didn't seem to have too much MSG in it as I wasn't overly thirsty after dinner. We also got the popcorn chicken and Taiwanese sausage off their snacks menu. The popcorn chicken was crispy, warm and wasn't overly oily. The Taiwanese sausage was savory with hints of sweetness.
Overall the flavours aren't anything to write home about, but I would still 100% make a return visit. Winter is coming and having a cauldron of delicious broth and unlimited noodles makes it a lot more bearable.
