Rice Pea

Dinner today -> Northern Chinese Food.
For Ben's Birthday dinner, family went to Rice Pea restaurant for northern Chinese food on Carling.  Northern Chinese food is suppose to be spicy but this place makes it mild so you can taste the dishes.
We started with F05 Pork bone stewed with Chinese nappa cabbage.  It was good.  The broth was very good, but not much noodle in it and the wasn't much meat on the bone.  Ben insisted on getting this soup (even though it was labeled a stew).

Nappa Soup.

Next I think was N02 Hot Oil topped on handmade noodles.  This was my favorite dish.  It was a cold dish with a very tasty broth.   It looks super spicy but it wasn't.  I think this dish would be awesome in the hot summer.

Cold Spicy Noodle Soup.

The next plate was C11 Spicy Chicken with handmade noodle.  We got the half portion with extra noodle.  It was not worth it.  All the chicken were bone pieces, and I'm pretty sure it didn't add up to half a chicken.  Not alot of noodle either.  Alot of potato filler and little chicken bones.  Not a bad dish, but it was the worst dish from what we ordered.  I personally wouldn't order it again.

E11 Fried pork intestine with chili sauce was next to arrive.  It was good.  Thinly sliced intestine was both crispy and soft.  The fried noodles were crispy like chips and works in this dish.  Not too spicy, but spicy enough to be good.

E03 Skewered BBQ Lamb next.  A good lamb taste mixed with some spices.  Tastes like the time I got these at the Night Market.

Lamb Kabobs.

Not listed on the online menu, but in the physical menu, we ordered the fried sweet potato with egg yolk sauce.  This dish is amazing if you like egg yolk.  It's deep fried sweet potato fires covered in a egg yolk sauce/powder.  It is soooo good.  I would get this "to go" and snack on it.

We also ordered fried rice because it was almost the same price as paying for 5 bowls of white rice.  No pic.  It's just fried rice.

We ate cake from the Swiss Pastry afterwards.  Basic vanilla cake with buttercream icing.  It was so-so.  To me it didn't taste fresh.  I was hoping for a strawberry shortcake.
