Apparently the most brilliant aspect in Trusty Gourmet was its soup - there were about six soup choices on the menu, while the noodles was additional sides that you could add in to your soup accordingly to your preference, just in case you won't be full solely drinking the soup.
There was an ad on the wall, promoting a private kitchen styled dinner by a Chinese chef called 'Brother Peter'. Another glance over the cashier, you might find Br. Peter managing the cash counter. There was several dishes stating they were especially prepared by Br. Peter, then shouldn't Chef Peter stayed at the kitchen? I kept wondering.
I ordered Fish Maw and Pork Bones with Dumplings (花膠水餃豬骨濃湯) and added rice noodles. There weren't any fish maw in my soup but I actually didn't expect there was any judging by the price anyway. To be blunt, I personally reckon the soup wasn't that special at all, the taste was quite light in taste. Adding to the fact that it was just a plain soup, it gave a feeling that there did not use much ingredients used to braise the soup. The soup tasted more like a noodle broth than soup to me.
The noodles wasn't that particularly special either. The dumplings were meat dumplings, the wrapper was quite thin and the meats were tender enough. However I don't personally like meat dumplings without a single bit of veggies in it, it was just boring to me.
TO CONCLUDE...
I reckon the restaurant used the soup as a gimmick and make the noodles optional. It is pretty pointless to me, who on earth would just solely order the soup without any noodles? It simply wouldn't fill your stomach. Moreover the fact that all four of us didn't finish half the soup suggested the soup really wasn't that good at all. The bowl of soup with noodles could be find in any noodle restaurants served as a noodle bowl but switch-able noodle type. There won't be a revisit from me.
