Another craving for mix & match noodles. Since I was picking up some bread at Wheat Garden Bakery 小麥田餅屋, I decided to the nearby Bubble Waffle Cafe 雞蛋仔餐廳.
The restaurant was clean and bright, but small and tight...another one of those Chinese restaurants that squeezes the tables to maximize occupancy. Tea was served promptly after seated. My combo came with a drink and I opted for a hot Almond Milk 杏仁茶. The drink was too diluted.
This was the first time I came across sliced pork belly as an option. The meat was a bit chewy, but bearable. Not too pleased with the intestines, a bit too fatty and was not cleaned thoroughly. The salty broth tasted more like pork stock than fish stock. The udon was overcooked.
My second choice was Curry Fish Balls 咖喱魚蛋. A huge disappointment. Simply put, no texture, no taste. Stay away from these.
With a minimum purchase of $15, they will give you a complimentary Original Egg Puff 原味北角雞蛋仔 (top). Since I was only short of $3.25, I ordered a Sesame Egg Puff 芝麻北角雞蛋仔 (bottom) for $3.75 to make up the difference.
With a name of "Bubble Waffle Cafe 雞蛋仔餐廳",
their signature should be the egg waffles? Well, don't get your hopes
up. Other than the sesame fragrance, these egg puffs were doughy with a thick and hard to bite crunch. Not recommended.
For 7.50, I had Udon 烏冬 in Parsley & Century Egg Fish Soup 芫茜皮蛋魚湯 (properly speaking, it's cilantro, not parsley) with Pork Brisket 五花腩 and Pork Intestine 豬腸. I requested no napa cabbage and no bean curd.

With a maximum of two sides at $2/each, my first choice was the Desert Wings with Ginger 風沙雞翼. Deep-fried in bad and old oil, the wings were salty.
