the different morsels of the life of a foodie

Silk Road Noodle Bar

| 2 Comments

Silk Road Noodle Bar is located on the first floor of Millenia Walk at one corner of the shopping centre. My friends and I were there on a public holiday and the whole shopping centre was pretty empty. How the shops there survive the rental and make money (or maybe they don’t) I really don’t understand.
Anyway, the only reason why we headed there was because one of the friends in the group wanted to eat there. Having never eaten there before, I backed the suggestion.
Noodles and Dumplings

We had the 炸酱面 (i call it the Chinese version of spaghetti bolognase), the 鸡肉白果汤面 (noodles with chicken and gingko nuts), and the chilli pork dumplings.
I thought the 炸酱面 and dumplings were pretty ordinary, but I thought the chicken with gingko was something different and it was pretty light and tasty.
Eight Treasure Tea

We also ordered the 八宝茶 (Eight Treasures Tea) which contained Chinese wolfberry 杞子 (giving it a slightly sweet taste), red dates 红枣, walnut 核桃, longan 龙眼, some other Chinese herb and some Chinese tea leaves.
Shenyang Dumplings

This was called the 沈阳三鲜饺子. It’s supposed to be a type of dumpling from Shenyang city which is in the northeast of China. I can’t really remember what ingredients were in it but to me it tasted like an ordinary pork dumpling.
XiaoLongBao

The usual Xiaolongbao which everyone loves. Pretty ordinary too. I’ve been eating way too many Xiaolongbaos of late that I think I’m becoming very undiscerning of their taste already. Just went to the Wisma outlet of Din Tai Feng on Friday night for dinner and had more Xiaolongs. I think I should stop for awhile.
Anyway, I think the food at Silk Road Noodle Bar is pretty ordinary and there’s no point making your way all the way to Millenia Walk just to have northern Chinese noodles and dumplings that seems to be everywhere these days. Prices are reasonable though. $10 will leave you feeling full.
However, I was very put off by the manager there who presented us with the bill when we never even asked for it! And get this, we were only one of three tables occupied in the place which was 3/4 empty! I think it’s so rude to present the bill when it’s not being asked for. Verdict: Not ever returning again!
