MYST Review

My friend saw pictures of their food on Insta or somewhere and she wanted to try so we went. It's about 30 minutes walk from Metrotown, friendly advice, take the bus (#106), especially when it's crazy sunny and hot. It's a Taiwanese bubble tea type of restaurant. The restaurant was quite big and looks "grand ish", I guess because it's still new. The music in the washroom was pretty loud, very interesting (It was playing a song that kept repeating "over you" when I was in there...). When we got there, it was quite busy but there were still lots of seats.

Normally I love to order the deep fried salty peppery chicken when I go to Taiwanese restaurants but it's time for a change. I ordered the house special stir-fry chicken sliced noodle ($11.50, you can choose either beef, goat, pork or chicken) and my friend ordered the Myst beef noodle soup ($10.25).

I haven't had stir-fry beef noodle for so long and this totally had that flavour, yummy. The Chinese name said sliced noodle with a knife, to me it didn't look like that type of noodle. The noodle thickness all looked the same and quite long too, unless if they used a machine or the chef is that skilled. I actually prefer their noodle over the tradition flat rice noodle. It was thicker so there were some texture to the noodle. The chicken was very tender, the dish came with tons of onions and green onions as well which I don't eat.

My friend said their beef noodle was pretty good, the flavour was good. I tried the noodle, it was alright and it did have the beef noodle taste. It wasn't spicy from what I tried but the older lady at the other table was telling the waitress that it was too spicy. Normally, I don't eat beef but their beef was not bad. It was very soft, almost a melt in your mouth feeling. The noodle came with lots of onions and green onions as well but my friend loves them.

Service was good, nothing bad or overly good.

I would come again if friends want to but it's quite far from home and I prefer trying new restaurants. I did want to try their 2 coloured drinks but didn't want to order so much stuff and I normally don't order drinks when I eat out. Water is good for you. =)
