Now not eating meat is never more ball busting then when it comes to noodle soup, as traditionally there is a lot of animal that has been stewed for stock. Never is that more clear (or should that be dark and funky looking) than with Thai soups, but thankfully there are other options. One of which, and my go to soup, is Yen Ta Fo; which cannot be missed with it's pink colouring.
As my fellow lunches were on some Boat Noodles (so much meat) I refused to be excluded from the noodles soup fun and games so YTF it was.
We used to hoof down to Thainatown a few times a year from the old office mainly for the fact that it was one of the few places that did a YTF that was dry. That is to say, stir-fried as opposed to a soup. That is my typical order but you got to mix it up (and rest assured there will be a dry YTF review here sooner rather than later).
Not a lot to say on the soup itself, pretty standard fare. Now I do have high expectations as it's on of my favourites and this was very serviceable but nothing to really stand out or crow about. I'll be back to Thainatown, but for the dry YTF.
