Went here for lunch because it was inexpensive.
Rice, vegetables, noodles, froyo and the drinks bar are unlimited.
The chicken thigh that you get comes in big chunks so after it is blanched in the broth, the texture is still springy and tender.
The only let down was the broth because it was tasteless especially the tomato.
They have a basket for bags so people can put store it under the chairs.
Mainlanders don't seem to understand how to do it.

Went back for some noodles, this time I picked the thin yellow noodles which went better with the salty soup.
It didn't really absorb the soup but as the soup was really salty, the noodles were tasty.

A while back I got some serious food poisoning but there was no virus according to tests.
Anyway, for weeks I kept shxtting out whatever I ate undigested.
It was so bad that I was turning to health foods to see what could fix it.
Coincidentally QQ Rice opened then and I made myself eat one everyday and it helped regulate my digestive system and my health improved.
(Or it could have been psychological).
At that time they had wild lake rice which has been discontinued now.

Heard that they will be converting the shop into vending machines so I decided to get it one last time because you can still choose the fillings.
My favourite crispy caraway was sold out so  I chose Emperor vegetables, pickled veg, tofu etc as shown on the order form.
It was all good except for the chicken because the chicken was not fresh.
The reason I prefer to eat vegetarian dishes as it is difficult to get fresh meat!
Anyway goodbye for now and I hope to get a riceroll from the vending machine one day.
Sadly there is only one I would choose and that is the chili beef.

I haven't had these noodles for ages but the hygiene looked ok here so I decided to get it.
On the menu was vegetarian prawn so I asked what it was and they showed it to me.
Since it looked real compared to other vegetarian prawns I have seen, I chose that and imitation sharks fin because I love imitation sharks fin.
It was really good because you mix the sauces yourself.
As you can see, the vegetarian prawn is very realistic!
The texture is like konjac but I didn't eat it because I don't think I can digest that

My original plan was to get a purple potato milkshake from Mini jobs but Thanks to some salty noodles I needed a real drink.
Went here and got some grapefruit soda which was really good because it was freshly squeezed grapefruit with soda water added.
It was good that you can request it without sweetener too.

Got some noodles which were quite expensive for $30 but I suppose the portion was quite big.
There are three sauces to choose from: peanut sauce, Korean sauce and sesame sauce but I didn't have any because they are all sweet and I don't like  them.
The guy puts soy sauce in it as well so it won't be tasteless.
Unfortunately the tofu that I chose was sweet so that was disgusting and the imitation shark fins were really salty!!!
If he hadn't put the soy sauce, the flavours from the imitation sharks fin would have balanced the noodle nicely.

I love mint chocolate but the mint chocolate bread was ruined with green tea that you can't really taste the mint.

The chocolate chips used were the cheap type.
I also wanted to get the Earl Grey tea bread but they ruined it with mango.
The Asian market loves Green tea and mango so much so why don't they just make a green tea and mango flavour and leave the good pairings alone.
