Eating a Dinosaur...

Not referring to the drink 'Milo Dinosaur' over here. What I'm going to write about today would be a kind of food that I love pretty much and that would be...


'Dinosaur Prawn Noodles'(Dry)(恐龙大虾面)
Just by taking a look at this, my jaws are dropping already. I haven't
seen prawns that are so big since the early 90s. Anyway let's set the
humongous prawns aside first. Besides for the prawns, what makes this
bowl of noodles interesting are the special paste and the other
ingredients(Pork Ribs, Vegetables, Fried Onions, Noodles) that they have
added into the bowl of noodles. Once you started stirring all the
ingredients thoroughly and started savouring the noodles, the taste is
pretty interesting. The overall taste are pretty sweet and the noodles
are pretty chewy and springy, which is pretty nice. :D On top of that,
the vegetables and the meaty stuff blend in together pretty good too.
Next, let's move forward to the bowl of soup.

Just by looking at the bowl of soup alone, simply explains a lot of stuff.
Though the colour of the soup looks pretty dull, but just by looking at
the small little bits floating on the soup means that they have added
quite a variety of ingredients in the preparation of the soup. And the
taste of it is pretty sweet and fantastic nice. The mixture of pork ribs
and prawns give the soup the wonderful great taste. Yummy. (Come to think
of it, why didn't I tried asking for another round of soup?)

Time to move back to the main attraction of the dish, which is the 'prawns'.
Though all the prawns are pretty fresh and even the prawn head are given,
but I decided to have a little bit of fun, therefore I have set aside one
of the prawns into the bowl of soup before digging into the noodles. When
I was comparing the prawns from both bowls, it seems that the 'dry' version
of the prawn seems to be much more boring while the taste of the 'soup'
version seems to be much more richer in taste. Probably I should try the
soupy version of the 'Dinosaur Prawn Noodles' the next time round. (... But
wait, which means I wouldn't be getting the nice noodles... ==""")

So where can you give the 'Dinosaur' a try?

The name of this restaurant would be 'Old House'(老屋).
It's located along 'Neil Road', which is pretty near
'Maxwell Food Centre'.
