But otherwise, this noodle bar sounds like a great place to eat lunch, if you're up to having a pricy lunch. :)E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05261699336348926972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8708068554052819005.post-1526129563682365152010-12-01T03:14:10.919+08:002010-12-01T03:14:10.919+08:00Hmm, I generally steer clear from places that get ...Hmm, I generally steer clear from places that get too much hype.
