Wow! My first meal dining out after returning from Vancouver and it was a perfect 10. This new stall that opened last week inside the New World Mall Food Court hits all the right notes. They serve Cantonese style stewed beef. At first glance, it seems a bit expensive, but you get so so much meat. It's well worth it imho.
There are five cuts of beef - brisket, tendon, tripe, small intestine, and heart. If you love different textures in your food, then this bowl runs the gamut of chew levels. We're talking about melt in your mouth to firm bites with chew. For me, it's a party in my mouth. Btw, the flavors are spot on and very traditional to what it should be.
Their menu allows you to order all beef, small or large. You can also order the version with veggies, which is stewed daikon radish. The portions are substantial, with the large size being plenty enough for two. I ordered a large Selected Beef Offal ($18.99) and watched as the server cut up meat for three minutes. It was satisfying to watch.
Currently, they are offering free rice noodles with the order of beef. Otherwise, it's an add-on for $2 along with a list of items. He quickly dips the noodles into the beef broth and serves it on the bottom of the bowl. Then he adds a handful of daikon radish with some broth. On top is the five cuts of beef, scallions, cilantro, and some bird's eye chili. The server finishes it off with some chili oil and another couple ladles of beef broth. This was a fantastic bowl of good eats.
I really hope people don't stay away because it's one of the pricier vendors in the food court. They are putting out a superior product and deserves to be appreciated for that. Try it and you'll understand. read more
