| - pretty good bang for your buck. $6 during happy hour, can't remember when it starts but it ends at 5pm. grand opening special.
you get a choice of a soup base, noodle type, 2 "toppings", and a free hot drink.
for a cold drink, it's an extra dollar and for a milk shake you add $2.
mango pudding is $1.75. it's like 2-3 spoonfuls. kinda small
for the $6 though, i left pretty full.
my order was japanese style thick pork soup, instant noodles, sliced lamb, dumpling, avocado milk shake and mango pudding.
the soup wasn't too bad, but i couldn't drink it all and usually i like to finish my soup after eating my noodles. just a tad salty.
instant noodles was instant noodles, always delicious. lol
sliced lamb. i think i only got 3 slices, but my friend got 4. otherwise the lamb was good.
the dumplings, were almost more like a meatball than a dumpling. only got 2 of those. would've preferred something more like boiled dumplings or fan friend dumplings.
i really like avocado shakes and make a pretty good one myself, so i'll be a bit picky with this one. i'm not sure what they used, whether it was like a milk or cream, or even vanilla ice cream maybe, but either way, it was a bit too creamy. the colour of the shake leaned more towards the white colour than a green avocado colour. this reflected in the flavour as well since the avocado was not the dominant flavour but the secondary flavour. so i tihnk that could be better.
the mango pudding is not your typical chinese styled mango pudding either. it's actually like pudding, not gelatinous like what you would typically expect from a mango "pudding". the flavour is pretty good, and has that real fruit taste too it, but the serving size is slightly small. i'd say increase the portion size to 50-100% more.
all in all though. pretty good. will come back to try some other combinations and flavours.
