Noodle Place Restaurant

This is a relatively small restaurant along the common walkway between Orchard Gateway and 313 Somerset. Each day as we walked pass this outlet for lunch, we noticed the aroma of fresh prawns been steamed. We have originally thought they serve only dumpling noodles as that was what we observed from most of the diners.

But upon looking at the menu, we discovered that they also serve congee, roast meats, double-boiled soups, fried rice and some side dishes.

Triple Mixed Roast Meat ( Signature Dish ) - $28.50 - choice of roast pork, roast duck, soya sauce chicken or barbecued pork. The meat for the duck, chicken and barbecued pork (char siew meat) was tender and it tasted well marinated. The skin of the roast duck was thin and sweet and not fatty.

Shrimp Wonton - $8.30 - a bit steep for 8 pcs in a bowl. The broth was lukewarm and the mere fillings in each wonton was not up to our expectation.

Seasonal Vegtables with Garlic - $12.00 - one of the most expensive vegetable dish that we have eaten. It was Chinese kale (kai lan) being blanched and topped with oyster sauce. We could not see or taste any garlic flavour as mentioned on their menu.

Mango Sago - $4.50 - cold refreshing dessert with generous topping of thick mango puree, big chewy sago balls, evaporated milk and mild taste of lime juice.

Overall, we felt that the prices are on the high side. It has deter us on many items that we wanted to try such as their Special Congee ($12.80), Mixed Roast Meat Noodle ($10.50) , Pig’s liver ($14.00) and Seafood Curry Rice or Noodle ($15.50)
