My friends and I were actually on our way to Mido Cafe when we discovered this hometown noodle joint. Since it was still the early days of Chinese New Year, Mido was closed. I personally think it was an act of providence. It was a gorgeous day and we sat outside, people-watching (during our 45 minutes there, we saw accidentally fashionable men - the ones who don't care what they look like they automatically look cool - and a guy in a trench and 80's sunglasses who we thought might have been a co
It was a gorgeous day and we sat outside, people-watching (during our 45 minutes there, we saw accidentally fashionable men - the ones who don't care what they look like they automatically look cool - and a guy in a trench and 80's sunglasses who we thought might have been a communist spy-cum-writer in another era). The menu was surprisingly accessible, as it had Chinese, English AND Japanese. Among the three of us, we ordered the signature beef brisket curry in soup noodles, fresh prawn wonton soup noodles, and pork ball soup noodles.
The Reader's Digest version is: We loved all of them. The broth was the same for all three, very light and savory. My other friend told me the broth has Chinese radish in it, so maybe that was what gave it a certain "je ne sais quoi". Whatever it was, it was great.
The beef brisket curry came out in a separate bowl from the soup noodles. The brisket was so tender, and it fell apart perfectly. I did not expect that from a mom-and-pop shop, but what a pleasant surprise. (They are "Supreme" after all).
The pork balls and wontons were also a WIN. And incidentally, I loved that they had homemade chili sauce (the northern, oily kind) on the table. I kitted out my soup noodles accordingly.
My only gripe about the whole thing was that the drinks were nearly as expensive as the noodles! But, for a place that makes soup noodles this good, I'll support the cause.
Check out the entry for this place on my blog, along with more details and photos!
