And soup. The Cat’s favorite food.
Look Funn in Soup with Roast Duck
The Cat is still office hunting. Chinese food downtown.

Followed package directions, two flavor packets, one wet, one dry.

The Cat brought home.
Korean Noodles
Directions in English were a bit vague at best.
The Mouse had to wing it.
First night.
Pig Foot Soup Noodles
Turns out, cooking time is about 12-15 minutes.
Second night.
Oxtail Soup Noodles
Broth is leftover from Kin Wah dining.
Still working out the portion, noodle tends to get “fat”. The Cat said good taste.
Braised Pork Belly and Eggplant – Dark Soy Sauce
Side dish.
Enjoy. Eat well.

The Mouse would’ve usually ordered the carnitas but thought to eat lighter. Hee hee.

New-ish noodle spot recommended by one of The Cat’s acquaintances.
Sign
Gourmet Sichuan Noodles. Possibility of “it’s gonna be spicy”.
Placemat designed to be kinda like an FAQ.

The Cat’s
Felt kinda underdressed, should’ve worn our Mao jackets. 😉
“Fire” Control Liquid
On to the food.
Steamed Egg & Minced Pork
Not spicy. Really good. The Mouse wished there was a baguette around to dip. A small amount of spice in this dish would’ve been appreciated. Hee hee.
Restaurant does not have spice/sauce on the table to “add your own”. Maybe The Mouse should’ve asked. Still, an order again item.
Bone Soup Noodles with Fried Egg
Another dish not spicy. Good taste. The Mouse is taking notes for when he makes his own bone soup.
Chili Oil Won Ton
Okay definite presence of Sichuan peppercorn. Tongue is numb even though we ordered “mild”. Good thing the other dishes were not spicy and could offset the won ton. Still an order again possibility (although The Mouse thinks there is a non-spicy option (won ton in bone soup?))
For some reason, as The Cat and The Mouse age, we seem to tolerate spice a little more than when we were younger, go figure. No not fire-breathing dragon breath kind of heat, but a little more than before.
The Cat approves returning.
Enjoy. Eat well.
