| - Since my first review back in October, I've been there another handful of times. Since then I"ve tried a few other noodle options, but I tend to like ordering ones that I"ve tried and liked and stick to it. But here are some of the ones I tried and my thoughts on them:
Pork Ramen/Shaved noodle
In terms of noodles, it really depends whether you like ramen or shaved noodles. I loved their shaved noodles. something about the texture just really appeals to me in general, and they cooked theirs a bit al dente so i really like the being able to chew my noodles (don't get me started about pasta not being cooked al dente). Anyway I love their pork. I'ts pork belly and it's braised in a thick sauce, which is usually mixed into the broth. Overall I find their broth quite clean, not too salty, which is good coz it actually allows you to taste your food, unlike a lot of other asian places where they seem only know soy sauce, miso and MSG. Because their broth has a cleaner palette, it allows you to actually taste whichever ingredient you chose for your noodles. Anyway, this is one of my all time favourites, for people who are coming for the first time, I would recommend you to try this because it's almost like their 'signature' ingredient.
Braised beef Ramen/Shaved noodle
Again, noodles are based on your own preferences, I like both of them actually, their ramen also has very good texture as well, but my preference is still over shaved noodles, but for those who do like ramen, definitely give their noodles a try. Anyway, back to braised beef. For those who like beef shank, ;you would like this. This almost reminds me of the braised beef noodles that I had in Taiwan before. The meat is slowly cooked, giving it the tenderness, moistness that is known for braised beef, and when you eat it with the noodles, the meat just softly falls apart. LOVE. I also really like the sauce it's been braised in. They don't put a lot of that sauce into the noodle, but that's perfectly fine because the braising process allows the beef to absorb all the flavours anyway. I would say this is another one where you would want to try as your first time here at the restaurant.
Chicken Mushroom Shaved noodle
My finace ordered this because he wanted something lighter, so I did give it a try. For those who don't want such BOLD flavours when eating ramen, and seriously, once in a while, esp when you're feeling a bit under the weather, I find this would be the perfect option. It's lighter and cleaner in taste, the chicken doens't have a very bold flavour either, but just seasoned enough (though for me I found it on a blander side, but people who have a blander palette would appreciate it). They use chinese mushrooms, which is great, because I LOVE chinese mushrooms. Their flavours are much bolder than fresh mushrooms, so people who like mushroom chicken steamed rice, or at least that type of palette, woudl like this options.
Dam Dam Shaved noodle
For those who like dam dam noodles, the restuarant only serves this in the shaved noodle option. Generally for people who like the dam dam noodles, this is great :) I"ve ordered it twice. Both times i love it. The flavours are super bold by the way, so make sure you have some water on the side! The only suggestion would be that i wished their peanut sauce wasn't as thick, slightly more liquidy would've been PERFECT, which you could do by asking for a bit of hot water - i add it in myself and then i'ts the perfect texture. otherwise it feels like you're eating noodles with peanut butter. it comes with bean spourts and cucumbers, which is a nice mix with the noodles along with some preserved vegetables and minced meat. YUM. Great choice for those who don't want soupy noodles.
Appetizers:
Tofu - i love their tofu, but the only thing I would complain is i find they put too much suace on their tofu and it kind of overpowers the whole dish. I like mine spicy but they have nonspicy option too.
Green onion pancake - the first time I tried it back in October, I didn't like it as it lacked onions. HOwever since then we have given it another try and it's now a regular app that we order every time we eat here :) The kids we eat with also love them!! ther'es lots of onion flavour, comes with 8 wedges for 2.99. the texture is nice and crispy. LOVE.
Grilled squid
I love squid, so I have tried this. those who like grilled squid woudl like this as well! They do have two options, one for the upper part of the squid and one with just tentacles.
Ambience is nice. Ther'es lots of seating so if you have a big group or even kids, i'ts a great place to eat. They also have a BBT prestotea shop inside along with a yogen fruz. their teas in general are quite well made - this brand is from Taiwan after all. I"ve tried the matcha red bean and their milk tea with grass jelly and both of them are well liked :) The milk tea I find i like better than chatime only because i find the chatime one a bit too milky. You order from an iPad!
