Where does big bowls of nice noodle soup? Thai or other.


Recommended Posts

My housemate brought back a menu from Thai Inter and it got me craving thai / noodle soup. I bought some from the Vietnamese noodle bar when it first opened and it was that gloopy chinese style stuff, not impressed! There seem to be loads of noodle places on London Road / Eccy Road so do any of them sell nice soup? Thin stuff, not gloopy...

Taaa.

Tim Po, te Chinese restaurant, opposite the Schlolar (scholar is formerly the R n R bar / hermitage) do a fantastic soup and noodle bowl.

 

You can have meat, or soya meat, or just vegetables in it, but it is delicious. it's about five and a half/ six quid, and very filling.

Noodle Inn. Get the soup (thin) with three roasties for £6.50. It's packed full of Chinese people and when you taste the food, you know why.

 

Yep I second that- Noodle Inn is the place. Avoid the Vietnamise Noodle Bar at all costs! Its greasy, gloopy and fake. And whatever I order i seem to get something that tastes like sweet n sour.

ANY East Asian restaurant.

 

My favourite is the "shredded roast duck with preserved veg in a vermicilli soup". If you say noodle, then the staff may just give you any type of noodles they have on offer. So sometimes you have to be specific in what type of noodle you want.

 

Some examples of the type of noodles you may get:

(Thin) Rice noodle/Vermicilli

(Flat) "Hor Fun" Rice noodle / Pho

Thin stuff => rice vermicilli

gloopy => hor fun or udon etc...

Recommend the Noodle Inn too! Order noodle in soup and and you won't get noodle in gloopy thick sauce. However not sure if they do Thai noodle soup (i.e. with lemon grass and lime leaves etc) or just Chinese ones. Wagamama is opening soon though and I know for definite that they have a Thai style vermicelli in soup it's yum!
