tried auntie ping today. the HCR (hainan chicken rice) is good, cluck2go neednāt worry though.
both i & my lunch companion were much more enamored of the rice rolls. my friendās first comment: āOMG, i could eat these every day for breakfastā. we both agreed about how the wrinkling of the rice roll created a somehow subtle yet significant change in the overall texture, giving it just a bit more chew - which i suspect will make it a bit more appealing to western palates.
(forgive the quality)the wonton mien (wonton noodles in soup) were ok, but no threat to harlamās kitchen. interesting mainly in that the green vegetable was iceberg lettuce.
also visited noodle harmony recently the 15% grand opening discount was still in effect.iād agree with @ipsedixit that itās more about the saucing than the noodles themselves. however, iād also submit that it will be a matter of taste, but the saucings were definitely unique: having said that, thereās not a lot to distinguish between the different sauces visually. i can identify the spicy cold chicken noodle only by the presence of the chicken. each noodle dish came in portions that divide evenly into two rice bowl.
their āsichuan dumplingsā were again more about the saucing than the dumplings themselves and again, the saucing choice was familiar and yet different at the same time.
