was on leave today so had lunch with my mum at this new place by the same people behind wah lok at carlton hotel.
that explains the “wah!” in the name. in case you’re wondering, noogee is coined by combining the 2 words: noodle and congee. both of which are available in many different versions on the menu.
the dianxin menu is served until 11:00am only. i would think the reason is so that the business at wah lok will not be compromised by the new kid on the block.
unfortunately, we were not in time to sample the dianxin menu. i had wanted to find out if it’s just as good as the restaurant's.
the xia jiao [dumpling] soup and the char siew & soy sauce chicken were average only. nothing to shout about. in fact, i find the meat combination expensive [$10] for the small-sized portion.
the seafood noodle is more generous with its ingredients and greens. can be shared by 2 persons if you’re ordering dianxin and other side dishes, or even 3 persons if you just want a nibble.
i also tried the steamed rice with chicken and chinese sausage. quite like it as it’s comfort food for me.
service is good. the staff actually changed the plates for us without asking unlike crystal jade. the food, however, is not outstanding nor very much better than crystal jade.

Johann and I actually tried this on Wed 2 Nov and I thought it was not too bad. I had roast duck noodle, the noodle was crunchy (HK style)while Johann had liver and kidney porridge. He said it was comparable to Crystal Jade. We also ordered a portion of siew yok but not as good as Peach Garden. I guess the only good thing about eating there is they provide free parking for 2 hrs - in town.
my 1st comment!!! :)
yeah, i agree the food is not too bad and comparable to crystal jade.
but being the little brother of wah lok, i had expected it to be better lor... i guess crystal jade had set a very high benchmark for newcomers into the market.
