I’ve been meaning to write about this place ever since Wil and I visited it during one Serenitea session. I’ve been craving for it ever since then. I regard it as my comfort food. Ma Mon Luk and Le Ching aside, I regard this place as one of the comfort foods already. I guess I just have a soft spot for chinese food.
As advertised, the noodles were hand pulled and prepared each time for the days consumption. I guess over time they have determined more or less how much noodles they actually consume. I was watching a feature on this on the travel and living channel and it really is an art to get the noodles the way they are. I wish the person who prepares it would do a show, similar to flare-tending only with noodles, for the patrons one time.
Sitting quietly along Wilson St, its none intimidating demeanor beckons one to try it out. Reminiscent of those traditional chinese hole-in-the-wall, the insides were clean and sanitary and the service quick and efficient.
Tonight’s dinner did not intend to be a review of this place. It was just a gathering of sorts of Foodies and Food bloggers alike. With some light conversation and a hearty meal, the night turned out to be one I would remember for quite some time.

Following my trend lately, I shot this set guerrilla style. Primarily because this wasn’t really an invited meal or feature, I just used my flash and camera and took pictures as the food we ordered arrived.
I ordered my usual Dry Braised Beef Noodles. Since this is a place I considered as a comfort food zone, I rarely go adventurous and order something I am not familiar with. I always stick to the staples.

I also needed to order 2 orders, (Thats 14 lamb dumplings! just because they were so damn good!)

The other foodies also ordered different variations of noodles.
Dry Chicken Noodles
Dry Fish Noodles
Tea!
As with my previous post, I’ve noticed that good food is only one part of the equation to a great meal. Company is the lacking part. Solve one problem, the other missing variable still presents or rears its ugly head. I am blessed to have 2 simple dinners, but great meals. As with any gathering, guess what the Foodies and Food bloggers ended up talking about? Food!!
Thanks to Fran for this picture of the club!
