Not Just Another Date Night at The Noodle House

It's no secret how much I love The Noodle House. As I have shared on a blog post before, it is a restaurant close to my heart as I had a lot of memorable dining experiences at their BurJuman and Souk Madinat branches. Recently, I followed the well-loved restaurant on Instagram and discovered a cool competition for their avid followers. All I needed to do was to post a photo of what I ate at The Noodle House, tag @thenoodlehousedubai and hashtag #tnhwin. It was an easy peasy task for me since I am an IG-addict and a hashtag-overuser!  :) 

A week after I posted my entry, I woke up to a notification from The Noodle House. I won!!! OMG, I won! Sorry if it seems like I'm over reacting, but hey it's a meal from The Noodle House! I'd gladly accept anything from my favorite Asian restaurant! As The Noodle House in BurJuman is a constant date night venue, Ed and I opted to claim my prize at Jumeirah Emirates Towers for a change. 

Located inside the posh Boulevard of Jumeirah ET is a more sophisticated and less crowded The Noodle House restaurant. Though it was merely two weeks after I held the funky noodle pen, I was so glad to be back. A wait staff gave me my meal voucher in a sealed envelop and I was thrilled when I read that I'll be having a full 3-course meal for free!

Dinner started with the Firecraker Shrimp served in a martini glass. The shrimps are deep-fried, coated with crispy zesty batter. The kick of spice, or shall I call it the "firecracker", came from the Sriracha Chilli Mayonnaise dip!

For the main, we had the Soft-Shell Crab Nasi Goreng; a dish from The Noodle House's Seafood Festival menu. It is a flavorful mix of jasmine rice, crab and sambal belachan served with a runny sunny side up egg on top and a soft shell crab on the side. Apart from the free main course, we also had our all-time favorite Cantonese Roast Duck; slices of tender roast duck, smothered in Hoisin sauce and wrapped in Chinese pancake. We will never get tired of this classic!

Since Ed is not fond of desserts, I got the Mango Pudding all for myself! :)  It is an exotic Asian dessert filled with tropical flavors. It has sweet mango bits and refreshing mint, served with  a scoop of passion fruit sorbet and pulps!
