Flower & Horse in Spring — Restaurant in Vancouver

Taken from my Instagram post (amossie): Newly opened restaurant on Robson called 'Flower & Horse in Spring' serving '雲南過橋米線' or translated as 'Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodle' from Yunnan, China. It replaced the recently closed Japanese Italian restaurant, 'Spaghetei'. There is a love story behind the way this particular Chinese cuisine is prepared. It literally involved the wife crossing a bridge with noodle for her husband who was studying for the imperial exam (you can search for the details of the story online). I had the rice noodle bowl with spicy braised pork sauce in soup (B6). It came with shiitake mushroom, bean curd sheet, bean sprout, chives and a marinated egg. Let me tell you, I loved it!! I loved the amount of spiciness loaded in the bowl! I loved the texture of the noodle!! I loved the 芝麻湯圓 (sweet sesame dumplings). My friend ordered the signature 'crossing the bridge rice noodle' combination. In my opinion, I thought mine was better. It was more expensive but being the first visit, it was worth the try. If you order it, you can replay the way the scholar may have prepared and eaten the dish - cooking the ingredients in the extremely hot broth. An excellent choice with the constant downpour of wet 'raincouver' weather. The interior design wasn't what I imagined the restaurant to have and I'm not sure if Canto/Mando pop songs fit the environment but the positive is that the food won my tongue for a...

Flower & Horse in Spring on Robson St. ——————————————— Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ——————————————— I’ve been really into Chinese noodle soup recently, but only been to places located near metro town or lougheed which isn’t so convenient for me to go often. While crossing by robson, I encountered this noodle soup place far down the robson near denman and gave it a try. My honest review to this place is, it tasted okay, but I prefer the ones outside of downtown. I would come back if I really crave for noodle soup and lazy to go so far. We ordered 3 different items and they all generally have same taste with different meat ingredient. Taste isn’t bad, but nothing so special at the same time ——————————————— 최근에 한창 꽃힌 중국식 국수. 대부분 메트로타운 또는 리치몬드에서만 먹다가 랍슨걷는길에 요기가 딱 보이길래 한번 먹어봤어요! 맛은 그럭저럭 괜찮아요! 하지만 또 갈만큼의 맛은아닌듯한? 중국식 국수가 먹고는싶도 멀리는 가기싫을때는 다시올꺼같긴해요! 다만 맛이 그렇게 생각날정도는아니라 가아끔 올수도있을꺼같네요! 총 3가지 종류를 시켰는데 맛은 비스무리하고 고기가 좀 다를뿐. 맛없는곳은아니에요! 그냥...

We participated in an event called Noodle Mania. Flower & Horse in Spring was one of the restaurants on our tour. To be honest, when my boyfriend and I compared all the menus of the participating restaurants, Flower and Horse in Spring was one where we thought we would like the least. To our surprise it was the best one on our tour and we will definitely go back. We had the Soft and Smooth dish and a noodle soup dish. Both were delicious but the soft and smooth was our favourite. The soft and smooth had soft noodles and smooth tofu (BTW I've never seen my boyfriend even try tofu let alone finish it in a dish) but also crunchy peanuts and perfectly seasoned pork. Service was great and they answered all our annoying questions with a smile on their face. If you are looking to try something new, I would...
