The Chicken Noodle War (Part 1)

One whole chicken for a part of 5!

Friday was a killer for myself. I could almost feel my brain imploding on itself after churning out ideas after ideas that don't seem to work well enough for various reasons. To keep the engine running, we headed out to fuel the brains with some soy chicken noodle.

 

There were 5 of us, so we were able to order more stuff to try out! At least, that was what we thought when we headed there. The guy basically said "don't worry, I'll mix and match for you" and headed off. Disappointingly all he came to us with was a whole chicken and a bowl of dumpling soup :\ Not that they weren't nice (I'll get to that part later) but we were hoping for some chicken gizzards, livers and stuff! Bah!

 

MEAT!!!

Eitherwho, we tucked in! The specialty soy sauce that coats the roasted chicken was good! Fragrant and complimented the chicken really well. The chicken was well prepared, the meat on the drumstick easily slides off with a drag of your mouth :)

 



Picture doesn't do justice but heck la!

As for the soup, pretty much everyone around the table enjoyed it! Despite that visible layer of oil floating above it all, the soup was pretty light and easy to drink. The dumplings in it had a nice bite and also had bits of crunchy veg (I think it was diced chestnuts?) to keep the you from getting bored of pieces of chicken after another.

One thing I didn't like about the meal was the fact that it was so damn noisy! Gossipy OL types just kept yelling away in that tight spice of a 2nd floor that I simply felt the need to shut up and quickly finish my meal so that I could head elsewhere. Moral of the story? Don't go upstairs, it's friggin noisy!

All in all, good food, bad indoor environment.
