Eating Lunch At South China Noodles Delight (Scarborough)

This restaurant was highly recommended by another foodie on the Foodie Facebook group. I had visited this plaza a few times but never tried this restaurant! For this lunch journey, I was determined to try out this place for lunch.

Atmosphere:
The "South China Noodles Delight" restaurant was located at a small plaza just 1-2 blocks north of Midland and Finch area. The parking in this plaza was notoriously tight. There was actually more spacious parking in the backside of the plaza ...

I wouldn't expect too much of the decor from this place. There were simple wooden chairs and tables with a clean table top. The floors were a slightly different story. There was no ac/heat as they just left the front doors opened. I was surprised to find the restaurant packed on the weekend for lunch.

Service:
The staff were Cantonese speaking. They were friendly and fast with orders.

Food:
From the social mentions, the Ox Offals vermicelli in soup ($8) was the signature dish to try. My SO decided to get the Ox Brisket Vermicelli ($8) in Soup as well. I normally adore eating tofu & egg dish - So we order that as well ($5).

The tofu and egg dish was a complete disappointment. There were like no flavours to the tofu and the egg was just a poor version of the tea egg. The only positive of the egg was the skin colouring from the soaking.

The ox offal was cooked well with a very deep rich broth. I normally avoid the ox offals in the past but this dish was surprising good. The flavours of the broth were soaked into varieties of meats. The brisket vermicelli was a so so dish. The broth was surprising less intense and lacking in any flavour.

Would I come back? Probably. We had observed other tables ordering fried pork chops and would like to try these out.
