Suzhou Noodle House is run by real Suzhou people from China. How do I know? Because they speak with that particular accent :) As the name implies they sell mostly noodle dishes. I'm not really sure what the Suzhou province's specialty items are but the things you can find being served here are typical to most Chinese style (not Malaysian Chinese) noodle houses.
The lady boss is quite friendly and can be nice to chat with if you know Mandarin (which I'm not good at by the way). She recommended us to a certain green tea. I think this particular tea deserves special mention.
Green tea.
What's so great about this tea? The taste was fine and I liked the way they served it in leaf form as opposed to powdered or tea bag form but the real magic of this tea is its detoxifying properties. Without saying too much (use your imagination please)... this cup of tea gave me detoxification sessions for almost a week!
Pork Chop Noodles.
Next up we have the Pork Chop Noodles which are noodles with clear soup served with delicious and crispy pork chop. As is the norm with this dish the noodles are nothing to shout about. It relies very heavily on the taste of the pork chop to complete the dish and thankfully the pork chop did not disappoint. I wouldn't say it was spectacular though.
Beef Noodles.
I've got a thing for Beef Noodles and something like this really hits the spot. Suzhou Noodle House's Beef Noodles comes with very generous servings of chunky beef and some white radishes (the round thing on the left side of the picture). I absolutely love the soup because it's so well imbued with beefy taste. Thumbs up for this dish. I'd try it again if they are still around.
Spicy Chicken Noodles.
This one was a little weird because it tasted like Tom Yam. Possibly one of the worst items on the menu. Not recommended.
Xiao Loong Pau.
In case you don't already know Xiao Loong Pau is a type of steamed dumpling with tasty broth inside of them. The correct way to eat them is to pick the top portion of the dumpling up with a pair of chopsticks while being extra careful not to tear the bottom to ensure that the yummy broth does not spill out. Their broth is laced with a little Chinese cooking wine which I think gives it a welcome kick.
I've read a review in another blog (I can't seem to find it anymore) which gave their Xiao Loong Pau thumbs down but I really beg to differ. I can't claim to be a Xiao Loong Pau expert but I do know what I like and the least I can say is that they are definitely better than the crap that Dragon-i serves.
