I was heading to Tycoon Tofu a few weeks back and passed by Chloe's Convenience. It stopped me in my tracks because I had heard great things about getting flavourful bagged, cold noodles.
The woman behind the counter said hi. She was extremely nice. I said hi and indicated that I'd be back. I continued to head over to Tycoon Tofu with my original goal to get tofu pudding.
After getting my tofu pudding, I returned to Chloe's Convenience. I said hi to the woman and said that I was back. Maybe she wasn't used to someone saying that she'd be back soon, but she was so happy that I returned. I meant it.
I have seen bags of cold noodles from friends who have dropped by this place. The bags seemed like snack-sized portions. I needed dinner. Luckily, I could get a meal box. Yes, please!
She was great guiding me through the ordering process. You basically choose whatever toppings that you'd like. A minimum of three toppings is recommended. With a meal box, six toppings are recommended. Finally, you choose a sauce or more.
I went with these toppings and sauce:
- Quail eggs
- Jellyfish
- Cucumber
- Corn
- Scallops
- Mini fish cakes
- Garlic sauce
I got cucumber as a free topping when I followed this business on Instagram. She was impressed on how quickly I found her IG account and immediately followed her. I do it all for free cucumber!
She was so sweet. She let me place my tofu pudding on her counter as she prepared my noodles. She got me a paper bag, and put my pudding and spoon in this bag with my noodles.
I paid with a credit card. I tapped and all was great.
I thanked her for my food. I headed to my car and drove home to chow down.
These noodles were fantastic. The noodles were chewy and yummy.
I loved my toppings. They had a lot of flavour. The textures were diverse and enjoyable. I loved having quail eggs again. The jellyfish had a different chewiness than the noodles that I liked. The cucumber and corn were a good pairing of veggies. The scallops and mini fish cakes were so fun to eat.
The garlic sauce was so good and brought the noodles and toppings together. You could taste the garlic, but it didn't overpower everything that you were eating.
I had a wonderful experience. I need to return to try more topping combinations.
