| - I MADE VEGGIE PHO TODAY!!!!!!!!
Well, sort of.
Today was one of those days that I should have called HR and let them know that I'll be leaving early because I can't function at work anymore. After a week of being on antibiotics, I think my stupid cold relapsed and stole my appetite. I spent the entire day wanting to eat, but really couldn't, and thinking about what would make me feel better, but won't make me throw up. My co-worker and I had arranged to have lunch today earlier on the week, so even though I was sick, I was looking forward to it, because I know I could always get soup noodles and it usually makes me feel better. Case in point: I was at my sickest last week, but felt a little better after having veggie pho at Thai Island (see my review below). Although the veggie pho at Thai Island was good, I wanted to go to another place along the PATH that also makes veggies noodles, but at a cheaper price and taste just as good. I also wanted to compare the veggie pho I had last week to this place's veggie noodle, to see what's so "PHO" about last week's pho.
Noodle King is a fast food joint along the PATH that's between the Sheraton Hotel and the Munich Re Centre. By its name, it's obvious that this place specializes in noodles, particularly soup noodles. Noodle King is operated by a friendly and quick Chinese crew -they know time is money and that the crowd they're serving are the busy, busy business types. Although they serve soup noodles, their menu is not limited at all: example: they offer about 4 different types of noodles: shanghai, ho fun, egg noodles and rice noodles; fresh meat ingredients: duck, pork, beef, fish balls, wontons; and fresh vegetables: mainly bak choy and broccoli.
Now for the good news, for my vegans/ vegetarians, and veggie-lovers-who-also-eat-meat-but-can-take-a-break-from-consuming-dead-carcasses: they have a vegetarian soup noodle special every day! The vegetarian special comes with the noodle of your choice, 2 fried tofu squares, carrots, green onions, broccoli, and bak choy. Also, upon request, they have a veggie broth (that isn't full of MSG or salt) to go with the soup noodle. If you read my Thai Island review, you might remember that I didn't like how they didn't have red vinegar, lime and only hot sauce. But Noodle King has them all: red vinegar, Viet hot sauce, hot chili oil, soy sauce, and fresh limes! Needless to say, I prefer Noodle King to Thai Island. Not only are their soup noodles equally as (if not more) tasty and satisfying as Thai Island's, they are generous with their veggies, have the right condiments (it's NOT pho without the red vinegar and lime, even I know that, and I haven't had pho until recently), offer a non-salty vegetable broth, operated by a friendly staff, but their vegetarian soup noodle special is the CHEAPEST soup noodle on their menu! This means you can stay slim and your wallet can stay fat.
With regards to the "Veggie Pho" bit. I found Thai Island's "veggie pho" very similar to the "vegetarian soup noodle" I had at Noodle King. The only difference is that the Noodle King's creation had finer noodles, and it did not have raw bean sprouts, cilantro, and fried tofu. Disregarding these minor differences, the 2 soup noodles taste very similar. Which is why my claim that "I MADE VEGGIE PHO TODAY" is somewhat valid, if not valid in its entirety, and there's also nothing distinctively "pho" about veggie soup noodles.
