| - Summerlicious Lunch with a Friend.
After going to Daisho, I didn't have the highest expectations for the Noodle Bar. But at least it wasn't disappointing as I knew what I was expecting.
1. Salmon Crudo
habanero, green papaya, nori
Small piece of salmon, but it was reaaaaallly good. It was of a smaller portion, but great quality. 4/5
My friend had gotten the Napa Cabbage Kimchi for her starter which was kind of sadly just regular kimchi in a bowl...
2. Southern Fried Chicken (local)
bibb lettuce, kimchi, red eye mayo
Actually really good. The server said it can be eaten with the piece of chicken taken off and rolled up in the lettuce with kimchi, dipped into the peanut sauce. It was creative and actually quite a nice piece. 5/5 but just a bit messy :3
Ginger Scallion Noodle (vegetarian)
shiitake, cucumber, cabbage
This one was a bit .. normal though. Not hating on my friend's selections (We both wanted the chicken....) but it wasn't anything special you couldn't get in Chinatown.. and for a larger portion too. 2/5
3. Strawberry & Chocolate Truffles
Why are the desserts the only thing I really like in all my reviews now for summerlicious?!?! Maybe I am growing a sweet tooth ... But the truffles were the best part. Not too sweet, but the outside crust ALWAYS balances with the cake-y filling. The chocolate has a bit of a coconut crust with a yummy milk chocolate cake taste ^.^ 5/5 for both of them.
I really liked the ambience; there are event seats you can sit to watch the chefs cook which I really enjoy! The servers were quite friendly, and gave you your own space (which can be a good or bad thing...).
Overall, the entire meal was decent for summerlicious, and actually decent for it's price. I don't think I would come here again on a usual day considering there are so many more places on Queen with a more interesting taste.
