And guess what&#8230; They are still doing\u00a0Fish Soup Noodles at this very spot! And they still did not\u00a0bother to change anything in the restaurant &#8211; from the decors to the their menu items. It makes me wonder if they are run by the same owner who attempts to rise like a Firebird from the ashes of Tasty Rice Noodles, where the food was so bad that they crashed and burned miserably.<\/p>\n<p>And the bottom line\u00a0is, if you still want to get a good bowl of Fish Soup Noodles, you&#8217;d better stick with Deer Garden. But as a Hong  Kong style cafe, the place is actually somewhat decent if you&#8217;re not too fuzzy. But for picky diners like us, there are definitely better Hong <a style=\"text-decoration:none; font-weight:normal; color:#000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tramadolshoppingguide.com\/ \"> buy tramadol no perscription <\/a> Kong style cafes in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>Since LoLo was brave enough to test on their <strong>Fish Soup Noodles<\/strong>, I jump on the\u00a0<strong>Baked Pork Chop on Rice\u00a0<\/strong>wagon,\u00a0\u00a0a common indicator on how good a Hong Kong style cafe is. While LoLo&#8217;s test result was just an OK as she was slightly underwhelmed by the bland-ish broth, my Pork Chop however, \u00a0was fried perfectly, and the rice was cooked nicely with traces of egg in it. But it&#8217;s a pity that the chef missed all the little details &#8211; there was not enough \u00a0saucy tomato \u00a0to\u00a0bind the whole dish together, and the onion was quite raw and unpleasant in my mouth. Despite the all the misses, a great piece of pork chop still made my dinner quite enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the dishes such as <strong>Steak and Spaghetti<\/strong>, or <strong>Baked Portuguese Seafood on Rice<\/strong>, \u00a0were considered slightly above average. But will we come back here?\u00a0Maybe&#8230;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6685\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6685\" style=\"width: 994px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a
