Two Hands Noodle Shop — Restaurant in Como

3.5 stars. Good value for quick meal or noodles lovers. Environment: small shop with minimal decor. Very causal setting- a sense of hawker's stall in Malaysia. Just a few tables indoor and outdoor. Rather packed. Have to share long table with others. Came before 12noon weekday, still could find a table. Always a lot of people lining up. There is a self service corner next to the entrance without any obvious notice or sign. Clean place with toilet. Park at street or opposite carpark (free). Came again late Saturday afternoon, was seated. The owner was nice --- 6.5/10

Service: Grab the menu at front desk and find a table first, the order and pay (tell which table) at front desk. Super busy, but food served very fast unexpectedly. As busy, Staff are task-oriented, not so attentive, but in good manner. Two kinds Malaysian style spicy seaoning are available on each table or self service corner. Get utensils/ cutlery, water and Chili (+/- tissues) at self service corner. --- 6.8/10

Food: normal presentation. Good price. Good portion. Good quality of homemade noodles. Rice is also available. Would like to come again to try other dishes. Pan Mian, Dry, $9.5/regular: the freshly hand cut homemade flat rice noodles were slightly sticky, became ok after stir up with fillings immediately. BBQ Pork slices were good in texture. There is Minced Pork with dried anchovies, vegetables and chili flakes. Full of flavors --- 7.7/10 Barramundi Fish Wings Vermicelli Soup, $14.5: Chinese name on menu is not Fish wings? Options for Clear or Milky Soup. There were 4 big fish Wing- good quantity and quality. Milky soup contains tomatoes and preserved vegetables, so a bit sour. Not fishy. Vermicelli was cooked well. --- 7.4/10 Fried Radish Cake Roll炒豬腸粉, $8: not sure radish in it. Likely rice rolls. Stir- fried wita a lot of egg. Not bad. --- 7/10 Sarawak Laksa, $14.5: regular portion. There were 3 small prawns, very finely shredded chicken breast, shredded egg, bean sprouts and vermicelli. Served with chili sauce. Prawns were over-cooked. The broth was good. --- 7.2/10 Yang Chow Fried Rice, $13.5: Small portion, not good value. Finely chopped BBQ pork, carrots, shrimps and beans. Malaysian style. Well-fried. The runny fried egg was a cold. --- 6.8/10 Teh C Special, $4/Hot Milo, $3.5/Hot: not blend. Malaysian Milk...

Went on a Sunday, too crowded and the place is tiny. There wasn’t proper customer service, no number system, you are expected to just wait I guess and perhaps find your own seats by luck. I was pretty confused. I mean you don’t need 3 people managing the cashier. One of you can attend to waiting and lost customers. Left the place without eating. So I came back on a less crowded day Friday 530pm was a good timing. Again no customer service, not even a greeting, found my own seat and took my own menu. Went to the cashier to order, paid and waited for food. Mundane. While I was ordering, the manager (maybe) asked me to switch seats since my partner and I were only two people, he suggested to be seated at a two seater. Guess what? He pointed at a table with 4 chairs. I looked at him unimpressed. I am already seating at a table with two chairs and now you want me to move to a table with 4 chairs? In the future if you already have in mind where your customers should sit, maybe try greeting and then suggesting a table when we arrive. Very foolish and unprofessional. Food came. Kolo mee was delicious. For $6.50 for a bowl of kolo mee, the portion is expectedly small, I would fault them for that. However, it is common sense to portion your food well and price it properly. Nobody wants to leave your restaurant hungry after eating. Pitch your bowl of noodles at $8.50-$9.50 with a larger portion would be ideal. What am I suppose to do? Order two bowls which is $13 to be full? Ridiculous. My partner order the fried kolo mee $9.50, it was OK. The disappointment was the iced milk tea, half a cup of ice, the tea had a great colour but that’s it - it was almost tasteless because it was very diluted. I ordered two for $8, what a shame and waste of money.. Chatime Thai iced tea is significantly better. Whilst their Instagram looks amazing but the overall experience does not match up to the photos and it was a disappointment. Will likely not come again. There are nicer kolo mee ans Malaysian...

Two Hands Noodles Shop today - such a warm day! Here’s the review

Steam bun with pork and egg - ordered $5.90 but after getting it no egg in it. Went back or desk to enquire and they looked confused. As thats what he offered to me and clearly it didn’t have the yellow dot above like others so he went back to check. It also looks a bit different inside like curry type smell. Not like I’ve had before it’s a lot light the meat and not so curry smelling. Not like what I’ve usually had here before. Anyway after he came back from the kitchen he said they are not putting egg in it anymore because of the egg shortage. Would have been good to know before ordering it!

Noodles - were good but I still far far far prefer 28 Kopitiam down the road or Uncle 6 nanyang. They didn’t have the thicker soy. I had asked for it. The meat ball was nice no little side soup like you get at 28 Kopitiam and Uncle 6.

Fish wing milky mee hoon soup - got 2 wings here (I’ve gotten 3 at other venues) and we’re a bit over fried for my own personal liking - but if you like it that way the soup to soften is nice. My mum prefers the wings not so overcooked. Also a bit of smell on the wings vs other venues I’ve tried. Prefer to get my fish wings in Shelly or BCH or Hawkers Cafe Winthrop.

Kuih - yummy as always not as strong a flavor but still good

I saw the char Kway teow in the other table and that looked very good - must try next time. Provided my feedback at the time and...
