Nine Ninety — Restaurant in Richmond

This is my second time here. You need to get the 熱乾麵 dry noodles. I came around 11:30 and they already had orders piled around them. My order took around 10 minutes or less. I ordered 2 portions of the dry noodles and a portion of the 小面窩 small donut lookalike. The first time I had the dry noodles I feel in love with the sesame flavour and the crunchy pickled veggie inside. It might not look like a lot of noodles but it is very filling. I realized after ordering two portions that the way they season the noodles depends on the chef because both bowls of noodles were different even though it was the same dish. One was spicier and saltier than the other. So it really depends on your luck if you get a good bowl of noodles. The crunchy pickled veggies on the inside balance on the dish well. You MUST GET the 小面窩. It's crunchy chewy and very bad for you but good for your soul. It soaks up sauce really well and goes with everything. One portion of 3 is not enough. The price of the noodles is $7.90 and although there is no protein in it I think the price is reasonable. The xiaomianwo is 3 for $2. One serving is not enough for 2 people. You need one serving per person because it's just that delicious. Yes albeit on the oily side, but still delicious and would go so well with soupy dishes or soy milk.

Tip: go early to avoid long waits. Order...

Hubby saw a series in Mikey Chan’s Strictly Dumplings on Youtube. So we checked it out, located in Presidential Plaza 2nd Floor food court. The food court is small, we ordered takeout. Line was long but it moves pretty fast. Their pork hock was their specialty and they had freshly prepackaged to go meal in a container. It was that fast & efficient. The pork hock was tender & very flavourful, for $15, it was a steal. It came with rice drenched in that wonderful dark piggy sauce, a braised egg, sautéed potatoes strips & glass noodles & pickled marinated green long beans. The pickled green long beans paired very nicely with the dish. The portion was so big that it was a 2 meal deal for us. Highly recommend… ! You won’t be...

My absolute favorites from their menu are the Wuhan Hot Dry Noodles and the Braised Pork Knuckle Rice. The Wuhan Hot Dry Noodles have a rich, sesame-flavored sauce that coats each strand perfectly, creating a wonderfully balanced and comforting dish. The Braised Pork Knuckle Rice is also a standout, with the pork knuckle cooked until it's tender and falls apart easily, while the seasoning enhances its flavor beautifully. Both dishes are incredibly satisfying and worth recommending. However, I feel that the experience would be even better if the prices were slightly more affordable, making it easier to enjoy these delicious meals...
