A Tuesday night quickie at Canton Noodle House in Burwood.
Canton Noodle House is a buzzy no frills Cantonese joint on Burwood Road. It is packed on a humdrum Tuesday night, we counted only two spare tables out of thirty, while the rest of Burwood is near empty. We've obviously stumbled upon a long-running local institution. It's cheap, the service is friendly, and the menu has loads of choices beyond your standard suburban Cantonese joint. Joy.
Steamed Cockles - $10 for 4. With ginger and shallots, fresh and rustic.
BBQ Pork Dry Noodle - $10. BBQ pork is always good. The egg noodles are a nice alternative to rice.
Steamed Egg with Seafood Topping - $14.80. A random punt from the Chef's Specials. There's prawns, mushrooms, scallops, fish and greens in a comforting plain sauce of thickened chicken stock.
Underneath is a layer steamed egg, like a savoury custard set into the bottom of the glass bowl, the texture is divine. It's a plain dish that was just to our liking after the artery clogging fried soft bone chicken at ATL Maranatha the night before.

ReplyDeleteLove Canton Noodle House. Always good for a quick feed pre- or -post movie!
ReplyDeleteThe steamed egg dish looks really nice.
ReplyDeleteI love the deep fried tofu balls here.
ReplyDeleteHey Dumpling Girl - those deep fried tofu balls looked popular, more than one table had them, we wanted to order them but weren't in the mood for fried stuff - next time!
ReplyDeleteIt's a testament to the restaurant if it's packed on a weekday. The local Asian community must really be packing the place in! But to its credit, I have stayed in Burwood a while, there really isn't very many other places with the same quality as this restaurant has.
