The large intestine noodle soup is tasty. The intestine which is also known as chitterling in the English speaking world but in my home country we call it tripas, is flavorful. The sopa is also excellent.
Friend has been raving about the spicy wontons here and thought I would make a pit stop since I was at the Crystal Mall.
Some reason they served it for take out but the dish was quite delicious. Order comes with 12 good sized wontons. The wrapper was not too thick and had a good smooth texture. The filling was light, lean and juicy. Requested for less spicy but had a good kick. Loaded with peanuts and green onions.
Seemed to be a popular dish as many people around us ordered it.
Will definitely be back! Heard the noodles were a hit too!
Holy balls. I love spicy and this dish is the best. If you like spicy and you like noodles. Come to Crystal mall. Order #7 and let your tastebuds go nuts. Its the perfect amount of soft chewy noodle texture and its loaded with chili. Some bits if pork too. No veggies tho.. veggies are for squares anyways... jk I love veggies. This dish is worth the $7 in your pocket. Also posting 2 other meals from another stand in a bit. Yum. Fair warning - I got 2 of my gfs hooked on this dish. Beware. That delicious.

I would say very very interesting food that my friend recommended me to this place. I did tried their dumpling because it seems like from the menu they are recommending the dumpling/sui jiao. Their dumpling was good i'll say the texture of the outer layer flour is a little bit thicker than what i would like it to be, however it's chewy, which is nice, and the meat inside it's meaty enough but not not juicy enough and the flavor didn't really explode it's rather subtle. However my friend recommended me the special noodle, can't remember which number it's now, when i first see it i was a little dissapointed because the noodle does seem really plain. It seems like it's only a noodle with sauce and a little bit of green onion.
however... after the first bite then I realize that all sorts of goodness is happening on the sauce of the noodle. the noodle is also tangy and firm that it's at it's best state for dry noodle. The sauce though, it's filled with spicy szhechuan flavor ("ma la" that's what they called it). it's sort of stings right in the nose and makes you salivate a lot. not much meat in the portion and the price is around the ball park of $7- $8 for the noodle if i'm not mistaken and Cash only! but for the flavor i'll definitely recommend this place. and I'll definitely be a loyal customer if they have their noodle 2.5x more than the original portion :DD overall it's a good experience.
Another gem in the Crystal Mall food court! They're famous for their spicy wontons, but they make hand pulled noodles! Chao Shou Wang in mandarin translates to "Wonton King!" Chao Shou Wang has been around for a while, I've somehow never gotten around to trying it...until today! They're known for their spicy wontons and hand pulled noodles! Just look around the food court, you'll usually spot a number of tables with this dish! Spicy Wontons (12 pieces) 3.5/5 stars I kid you not, everytime I go to Crystal Mall I see every other table with a plate of these spicy wontons haha! You can choose your level of spiciness, and I went with mild. It wasn't spicy from heat, but rather more along the lines of "mai la," which is mouth numbing spiciness. I was quite pleased with the wonton skins, it was rather thin and wasn't doughy at all! The pork filling was well seasoned, and rather lean. It was garnished with a substantional amount of green onion, with some bak choy. Sesame Cold Noodles 3/5 s
Crystal Mall, for those of you that haven't been there, is a circular two-level Asian shopping center in Burnaby. On its street-level perimeter and on its inner concourse, are a plethora of small (some very good) restaurants. On the upper level is the mall's food court, a wonderland of various Asian food stalls. They are all primarily Chinese-run and most offer Chinese fare. There is a smattering of Japanese and one that serves up Thai and Malaysian. All told, there's about thirty vendors to pick from…they run the gamut from so-so to darn impressive. When lunchtime rolls around and I'm not 100% sure what I'm hungry for, I head to the food court and start grazing. Today's first stop is Red Persimmon Taiwanese Cuisine for their Gua Bao (刮包) aka the Taiwanese Burger . This pick was due to a tip from Kim from I'm Only Here For The Food . It doesn't look like much…kinda boring actually. But that's far from true. The big chunk of pork has been braised a good looong while…very tende
