Noodle House

Ok while I was in Hobart for one night, my parents and I went to look for food after checking in at the motel. So we chanced upon this shop called Noodle House. Better eat all the asian food I can first before no chance right? Heard that there aren't many asian food shops in Launceston.

So popped in and found the place to be a popular place for take outs. It's just like in those dramas you watch where the actors eat from the boxes. Not many tables in the shop anyway and I realised that Angmos like to take away and eat at home.

After taking a look at the menu we decided on what we want to eat. Portions in Australia are super sized and usually we can't finish one dish by ourselves, so we normally share. Makes more sense and we don't waste food this way anyway.

Always nice to have a hot soupy dish in a cold country. Feels shiok when you drink the soup. That's why we ordered tom yam noodles. It's not authentic tom yam, don't have the taste of lemon grass and not very spicy. But still quite sour and tasty. Can't expect too much from an angmo country right? Lots of ingredients inside and the noodles are also pretty nice.

The other dish we ordered is called the Hotbox. I thought it might be spicy or something but it turned out to be like hongkong mee or something. The shop did have a nice and spicy chilli sauce that complemented the noodles though. The noodles had chicken and pork inside and was a bit on the sweet side. Noodles had a springy texture which was good. Though I was disappointed that it wasn't spicy but at least I enjoyed it.

As they always say, don't expect food in Australia to be cheap. Each plate of noodles costs an average of AUD$8 here.
