Chicken chop noodles @ Rivervale Mall foodfare

dining-128.JPGThe stall at Rivervale Mall selling Wan Ton noodles with those marvelous dumplings carries a number of other noodle selections. These selections still use the same soup stock, noodles, vegetable side, and dumplings/wantons. So, if you like one fare, chances are that you’d like the others too.

The one I chose for dinner on a Saturday dinner a week ago was the Chicken Chop noodles version. The plate went for $3.50, and very nicely, the piece of chicken chop was freshly fried as soon as I placed the order. Not like some of those stalls elsewhere where the chef in clandestine fashion disappears behind the wall into the kitchen to take out a piece of precooked chop. The chop was well-fried; the breaded skin was delightfully crispy, and cooked to just the right degree. You don’t get very much on the plate itself though: just the chop, the vegetable side, noodles, and soup.

  • Food: 7 / 10
  • Value: 3 / 5
  • Overall: 3.3 / 5. It’s good stuff, if you can live with the fact that the chop was deep fried in oil. The serving is on the light side, so you’d want to go for one of the wanton or dumpling sides too.
