Reviews Pure Delight Cafe

This restaurant apparently used to be called Golden Train Express, but has since undergone renovations and is now called Pure Delight Cafe. Having never visited the restaurant before, I don't know if their menu has undergone any major changes; currently they have a pretty large menu of Vietnamese dishes. I've had their Lemongrass Chicken Fried Rice and Beef Ball Satay Noodle Soup. The food came very quickly, in generous portions, and was quite tasty. The server I had was a bit quiet and reserved, but attentive. All in all, I think that this is a great joint in Kits to get your fix for Vietnamese food.

Lemongrass Chicken Fried Rice ($11.95):
4/5
This came with a generous portion of fried rice that's topped with a large piece of lemongrass chicken and was accompanied by a side of pickled radishes and carrots. The rice contained dried shrimp and some other ingredients that I couldn't honestly recognize, and had a nice fragrance as well as savoury flavour. The chicken was tender, juicy and flavourful with a nice char. I couldn't detect any lemongrass flavour (although to be fair I actually don't know what lemongrass flavour is like; I'm assuming that it's, well, lemony), but that didn't really bother me too much. The portion was good and quite filling.

Beef Ball Satay Noodle Soup (Large, $10.95/$11.95):
3.5/5
This consisted of a bowl of broth blended with chili paste and filled with rice noodles and beef meat balls. The broth was light, with a savoury and mildly spicy flavour. The noodles had a nice bouncy texture. The beef balls were just the standard type that you get from Asian places like T&T, but were still tasty and had an enjoyable bouncy texture. The noodle soups come in small, medium or large; I got the large, which was quite a big portion - I actually had trouble finishing it (I did succeed in the end, but I was seriously STUFFED). Now I do have a bit of a confusion regarding the price: on the menu, I think that it was $11.95 for the large version, when I got the bill however, I was charged $10.95. Hey, I'm certainly not going to complain about being charged less than I thought, I just don't know if it was a typo on the menu or a mistake by the server.
