MomM and I met up with MomJ for lunch in Chinatown. I'm really not a fan of this place. Higher than usual prices (considering it's in Chinatown) with subpar food. We ended up here because MomM wanted some Cantonese BBQ meats with soup noodles, and unfortunately, there weren't too many choices.
MomM's BBQ Pork & Soya Chicken with Noodle in Soup 叉燒油雞麵 was extremely small for the price (I think it was approximately $7.50). The BBQ pork was too lean and the chicken didn't have much soy taste...all the meat tasted like it's been soaked in the broth for a very long time.
MomJ and I shared a BBQ Duck on Noodles 燒鴨撈麵. Again, this was a small plate for $8.95...way overpriced!!! The duck was tender but it was extremely salty.
Every time MomM visits Vancouver (or Hong Kong) from Taiwan, she goes crazy with Gai-Lan (Chinese Broccoli) with Oyster Sauce 蠔油芥蘭. Nothing special about this dish.
We all shared a bowl of Shrimp Wonton in Soup 鮮蝦雲吞湯. Small wontons in a small bowl with poor quality shrimp and a salty broth. Yup, I pretty much explained it all in one sentence.
agreed!
