| - Came here with my boyfriend for lunch.. This is my second time here, as I came here during opening week. I can see that they made some changes, as the menu used to be on paper like deer garden, but it looks as if they went the environmental way with dry eraser marker menus!
There's so many choices on the menu, the soup base, the type of noodles, the toppings, side dishes, and drinks. I like the fact that they paired up with presotea.
Arrived here at 1pm, there was a short wait ahead of us, but was seated within 5 minutes. The tables are a little close as I was practically sitting beside the person from the next table.
I got the tomato and egg soup base with Japanese udon with Japanese char siu ans Taiwanese cuttlefish ball, and Taiwanese popcorn chicken as a side. My boyfriend got the Taiwanese minced meat rice.
The side was pretty good considering it was only 1.99. They were fresh and hot, not too much spices, but at least like 8 pieces!
The noodles were nice and chewy! Soup base had a nice tomato flavour and both toppings were really good and flavourful. The Japanese char siu was soft and had a good split of fat and meat.
My boyfriend said the rice really hit the spot. I tried the egg, and it was really good, nice and oozy in the middle, and the meat had a lot of flavour.
The service was okay, although the table next to us, 2 of the orders had toppings missing in their noodles and had to be sent back. They were complaining about the service.
Overall I enjoy this place more than deer garden, although it was packed with people, I didn't find the atmosphere as noisy as Scarborough deer garden. Would come back, especially for the happy hour 3-6pm presotea buy one get one free!!
