| - Like Ada said, this is a hole in the wall. I really like that. Had I not wanted to go to have noodles next door, I would never have even gone into this plaza. I ended up at Tang Home because the noodle place next door closes at 4pm every day, and we went around 6pm. They do have an English menu now, available upon request, but service is either Mandarin or very basic English.
We had the pita bread soaked in lamb soup, the cold noodles in country style spicy, and the beef with pancake in country style (burger). It was a light dinner for three.
The pita bread soaked in lamb soup was $9.99 for a small, and $10.99 for a large. We got the large one. It wasn't really all that large. It was what I would actually think was small. It was served in a large bowl, but the portion was not very big. This pita is not like a pita pocket. It's fairly thick and fairly dense. When soaked, it takes on the consistency of chewy rice cake. I think it could have used more soaking. I was expecting more soup than what we got. Towards the end of the bowl, there was basically no soup because the bread had soaked it all in. The soup was very tasty though. Definitely lamb based. There were also a few slices of lamb in the bowl, and those were fairly tender and tasty as well. This was my first time having this dish (Yes! One off the foodie bucket list!), and I enjoyed it, but I think I'm going to try to find a version I like more.
The beef with pancake ($3.70) had a nicely cooked pancake (well, more English muffin-esque, but more crisp and cracker-like on the outside), and the beef shank on the inside was sliced very thin so it was almost melt-in-mouth consistency, but that was all that was in the pancake. Where are my green onions? What about my coriander? What about some kind of sauce? It was a fairly dry mouthful.
The cold noodles ($4.50) were probably my favorite dish. Unfortunately, I'm a tad sick right now and trying not to have so much spicy food, so my intake of this dish was rather lacking. However, what I had, I really enjoyed. These are noodles with bean sprouts and tofu pieces all drowned in a chili oil of sorts. I'm guessing it's the Sichuan peppercorns that give this dish its distinct taste, but I could be totally wrong. Regardless, this chili oil makes me want to keep eating.
This was cute. I liked it. I liked that it was quiet. I liked that they had a booster seat ready for a little kid that came in, and I really liked that the little kid proceeded to sing "Row, row, row your boat" throughout our meal.
