Fat Mao Noodles

Fat Mao Noodles Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato Was wandering around Chinatown with a friend. Totally impromptu drop-in. Tight busy place even past 7pm on a Friday, so like us you might be asked to share the seven-seat communal table with another small party.

This is a NOODLE place. It's not a Chinese place. It's not a Singaporean place. It's not even a ramen place. You get noodles in tasty soup. Don't go here for ethnic or authentic or whatever. Go for noodles in tasty soup, and filling portions for a decent price.

Roti ($5.99)
  • Decent curry sauce but could really use some spiciness/heat to it. OK roti prata.
  • $6 for this measly amount? Pass. Get your roti from Amay's House instead where you'll get a big piece about four times as much roti than what's on this plate. The curry there is also better -- tastier and richer.

Koh Soi Chicken Curry Noodle ($14.99) braised chicken thigh, turmeric curry, served with wonton noodles and crispy noodles
  • It says "curry" but there's nothing spicy/hot here. In fact, the soup is really quite sweet. And yeah, it's rich.
  • Soup is very delicious! I'd order it at a few bucks less and minus the fancy dressing-up. You'll wanna drink it all except you might be too full to do it, especially if you had ordered extra noodles or a drink.
  • You don't get a choice of noodle here. In some noodle orders you get to choose what you want or from a couple of options.
  • Crispy noodle is more fun than actually tasty.
  • Lime slice didn't seem to do anything for me. Might want to save it as a refreshing end to your meal, especially if you're finding the curry overly rich.
  • Totally unnecessary chunk of fall-off-the-bone tender chicken. On it's own its so un-special as to be on the bland side. Eat it with the curry and you taste the curry because it's that flavourful, rich, and delicious.

Tom Khaa ($13.99) Coconut and Mushroom Noodles. Creamy dom ka soup infused with galangal, chillies, and a mix of mushrooms.
  • My friend's order. She couldn't finish it. There's a lot of soup in each bowl!

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en...

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 9

More assorted couples on my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. An American couple who joked about being from "the land of the giants" -- and with good reason, because both of them were really tall! A cute Jewish mother-daughter pair who ducked out part-way to divert to Israel. I vaguely remember the issue of the daughter being an orthodox Jew was highlighted in France when, to make things easy, she just declared herself vegetarian for the wait staff. I also remember there was some logistics error in France because our party size was way underestimated or simply relayed incorrectly, and there was a shortage of food at dinner. Dessert came as an unopened can of yogurt. It did not seem like they tried to make it up to us later, either. Plus there was smoking every which way in France, and I had a helluva time with that. We were also in a hotel that seemed tucked away in the burbs, and not walking distance from anythin...
