The “Face to Face” Noodle Shop, Part 2
So I went back to the shop for lunch the day after the previous entry. First thing I did before entering the shop was to take a picture of the signboard:
If I’d only paid attention previously, I would’ve read the English name of the shop. Well, my excuse is I’ve only seen the shop while driving past on my way home in the evenings. And walking into the shop the first time last Sunday, my mind was on food so I didn’t pay attention to the signboard.
Today, I ordered the dark soy sauce version. And when the bowl of noodles was served, I realised what I’d so quickly forgotten – in addition to the sauce and minced meat, the noodles are also served with char siew (barbecued pork) and meat balls. How could I have forgotten, it’s only been a week since I last ate at “Face to Face” ? The answer is simple – the main ingredients overshadowed the secondary ones.
Last week, I’d ordered a bowl of wantan soup to go with the noodles but they had sold out of those, so I settled for suikau (larger variation of wantan). Today, I tried for the wantans again and they were available. For the same price, it’s 10 wantans or 5 suikaus. Even tho content wise, they are about the same – 1 suikau = 2 wantans – I found the 5 suikaus just nice, whereas the 10 wantans were enough for two people.
I like “Face to Face” . I’ll be back to try the other noodle dishes on the menu.
If you’re in Malaysia, and live in the PJ area, particularly around the booming Tesco – IKEA/Ikano – Curve area, “Face to Face” is just a little further up the road, in Damansara Perdana, same row as 7-Eleven.
