| - Add me to the list of fans of this fantastic little joint churning out to-die-for delicious Malaysian dishes!
I've been here once before, and we were lucky enough then to nab a couple of seats, and know how busy this place gets. This time, we placed a take-out order by phone, timing it for after Thursday's lunch time rush, and were told the food would be ready in 25 minutes. This was perfect timing as it took roughly 30 minutes to get to One 2 Snacks from downtown.
This time we ordered: Char Kway Teow with egg (2 orders as we cannot get enough!); Chicken satay; Mee Goreng and a dish we'd never had before - the Meehun siam:
- Enough have been said about ther Char Kway Teow on Yelp - the "wok hay" is very apparent (a good thing) and it's filled with chicken, fish, and egg - that I do not need to say more.
- The Meehun siam was a revelation! Only a few photos of this dish on Yelp and not many comments, but took a leap of faith, and went for it. The vermicelli noodles were flavourful, and not oily at all! In fact, they were fluffy, again with wok hay, and lots of fillings. Amazing and will definitely be part of our standard order.
- The Mee Goreng was carefully packaged as takeout, with a foil liner for this dish in particular to prevent melting of the styrofoam box (Not sure why the other noodles were not packaged this way). The noodles were a little bit soft (would have prefered al dente) but it could be due to time sitting in the car to take home.
- Chicken satay - the peanut sauce is good, but not even needed when the chicken meat itself is so flavourful, and tender.
You'd think with three kinds of noodle dishes that it would be difficult to discern the flavours between each, but they all had their own distinct tastes as well as texture.
When we arrived for pickup, the parking lot was full. Despite it being afgter lunch, there was a line to pickup, but everything was ready. And all the seats were filled.
How they manage to keep the prices so low is beyond me! Under $38 for our entire order (4 orders of noodles + satay). And now we have tons of left-overs to continue to enjoy the yumminess of One2 Snacks.
The only disappointment is that we did not order the Laksa, as we didn't know if it would travel well as take-out, and wanted to avoid any potential spills in the car.
