After grocery shopping, I was hungry. Since I had some time to kill before my haircut appointment, I dropped by this few-months-old HK-style cafe in our neighborhood. I couldn't help but scratching my head thinking about the current Chinese food trend in Vancouver..."mix & match noodle combos"...they're EVERYWHERE!!! It's basically an upscale way of selling cart-noodles 車仔麵...hahahaha!
The restaurant was bright, clean and tidy...and very orange! I visited at about 3pm and other than myself, there was only another table of three students (I know because they were talking about their professor and the project...hahahaha).
Yup, you guessed it! I had a mix & match Combo Noodle. I had Udon 烏冬 in Pork Bone Soup Base 豬骨濃湯 (not so much the pork broth fragrance) with Marinated Pork Intestine 滷水大腸 (tasted weird), Fish Ball 魚蛋 (more like sliced fish cake) and Sweets Chicken Wing 瑞士雞翼 (yes, it was sweet...weird). Well, the menu, just like Cattle Cafe, did not state what else will be in the bowl. When it arrived, I was not happy to see all that napa cabbage. Moreover, this looked depressing...don't you think?
Not sure what's the maximum for side orders (with the Combo Noodles) but I only took advantage of one $1.50 item...I know...so not me!!! Hahahaha! The Pan Pried Pork Choy with Maggi Sauce 美極豬扒 (no, I did not misspell, I copied word for word from their menu...I guess they were too lazy to do spell check) was a lot more enjoyable than their mix & match soup noodles. The pork chop didn't have much Maggi taste, but was at least tender.
My soup noodle combo came with a drink, I asked for the HK Milk Tea 港式奶茶. This was perhaps one of the worst I have ever had. Was that even tea? Or was it just hot water with milk and sugar? Wait...was it milk? Or was it that powder crap? Yes, I'm a bitch.
