Noodles & Soups at Nooodon

This is a totally new-to-us hood and area — The Shoppes at The Venue Residences at Tai Thong Crescent. It's quite amazing how many casual eateries there are in the area. That's a great concept because the chain restaurants aren't here, and the smaller eateries cater to exactly what people want to eat. For example, Springleaf Prata, Hoe Nam Prawn Noodles flagship store and Nat's Chicks that moved from Chinatown to Tai Thong.  

We have stopped by Nooodon for a few times now. Last orders at 8.10pm or so. Get there before that. We usually sit outdoors with our portable fans. Never go by on a weekend unless you want to wait up to an hour for your food. At peak, the kitchen has limited capacity to churn out bowls fast when orders come in 4 to 10 pax per table. 

Yes, there're plenty of noodles on the menu, including their bak chor mee and such. Our friends told us to skip the dumplings and all versions of kimchi noodles and soup. We've wisely followed that advice and never bothered with those. Their dashi is okay too, so I assume the udon soup-whatever versions would be fine.  

We like its spinach and egg soup, and the bittergourd soup. Their soup base is lovely, unlike the rubbish powdered stock used at many of the stalls at the kopitiams and food courts. The husband prefers the spinach soup, quite exclusively. I like the bittergourd soup, and especially enjoy the broth, and all the fishballs and meatballs. We'll just add on a slab of tofu if we want extra protein.
