Revisit to Chiew Kee Noodle House - Soy Sauce Chicken Noodles, Dumpling Soup

Had brunch last Sunday at this place (32, Upper Cross Street) again... The taste is addictive, hahahaha....



I ordered the "1 noodles and 1 soup", and gotten this... at $5... which means if the noodles is $3.50, the dumpling soup is $1.50... which I believe should be the 1-pax portion (of 3 dumplings) instead of the $5 à la carte version... which works out to be $0.50 per dumpling... which I believe is much worth than a cup of drink... which I will order for as long as they don't get me to order the à la carte instead, hahahaha... (



Here we go: (1) Springy (QQ) noodles with a bit of crunch, (2) sauce is mix of rich savoury with slightly more sweet than salty, (3) chicken is tender, skin is the best part, with the smooth texture soaked with the soy sauce gravy (卤汁) which is also slightly more skewed towards the sweet side than salty, (4) Remember to dip the chicken meat into the watery sweet-sour chilli sauce a bit (not too much as this might cover the meat taste)... Solid!!!!!!



The dumpling soup.... Soup itself is quite...normal, and I think they did add a bit of the soy sauce gravy in to try to enhance the taste... but the dumpling is nice! Very packed and filled with meat, bits of water chestnuts, and bits of chinese mushrooms really increase the taste and especially the texture when chewing... Good combi with the noodles... Ad like I say, I will keep this combi for subsequent orders, until they force me to buy the à la carte dumpling soup, hahahahahahahaha.....
