Ahh...A steaming bowl of noodles in a flavourful broth just begging to be slurped right up...Just perfect when all you want is something clean to the palette, simple, warming and filling.  

I love my Vietnamese pho, my Hong Kong squid ball/fish skin dumpling noodles, satay beef vermicelli ..And now I'm going to add fish soup noodles.  I've had it once or twice in HK, but I don't remember enjoying it as much as I have tonight.  The Fish Soup restaurant recently reopened at their new location on Silver Star Blvd and we decided to give it a go.  

For $7.95, you choose the soup base you want, the type of noodles you like and two free toppings; additional costs for additional toppings. 

I went for their famed basic fish soup broth, vermicelli noodles with fish/tofu balls and pork cheek meat.  Oh....It was sooooo flavourful.  Nothing felt too greasy or too oily; it was just perfection.

I am definitely going to go back!

Fushion food is fun...You get mix-matched items and the pairings can be endless.  It either suits your personality or not...And since I'm a 'Bamboo Girl' (mish-mesh of Western/Asian upbringing) fushion is me!  Though I must say, of the three bamboo girls in this family, I am probably the one who would most often opt for asian fare...Give me a HK-styled milk tea over a latte any day!

Perhaps more accurate to describe this as Hong Kong-styled breakfast; it usually includes or a variation of: choice of eggs, choice of breakfast meats (ham, luncheon meat, bacon or sausage), toast and bowl of soup noodle (Macaroni or vermicelli with ham, satay beef or minced pork with peserved vegetable.  This all gets washed down with a hot drink, lemon tea, coffee or Hong Kong-styled milk tea. 

Pros: Very filling breakfast at around $5-$6.00.  Much cheaper than a western brunch and healthier than a fast food breakfast.  Love the mix of dry, salty food (eggs and bacon) with a soupy noodle (this is the Asian side of me coming out).  Love milk tea!

Cons: My pet-peeve...They use the word 'sausage' but it's really hot dog wieners which leaves me disappointed.  Places that serve this food tends not to be a place where decor and comfortable seats are priority.

But here at 'Made in China', the place is relativey clean and they've got some interesting bird cages going on as their ceiling decoration.  The booth seats are much too wide to eat comfortably though and we changed to regular tables/chairs.  It's an interesting restaurant; it shares the kitchen in the back with their sister restaurant next door, a Korean BBQ.  Made in China is a hot pot lunch/dinner restaurant but they're clever to draw in the morning breakfast people.  The staff are young and can be a bit abrupt but I'm here for good food and value.
