NC's favorite restaurant is Curry King Cafe. So when he heard that PW and I were meeting up for lunch, he invited himself along and took us to his number one restaurant. Let's put it this way, NC has been there so many times that the waiter automatically gave him a 10% discount when he handed us the bill... Hey, not that I'm complaining, who doesn't love a little discount right? We also each received a bowl of soup on the house. Anyways, Curry King Cafe is a small Chinese restaurant in Burnaby along Kingsway. They have a small parking lot in the back with only like 4 stalls. The service here is like any other Chinese restaurant, rushed and abrasive.
Since NC loves this place so much, we let him order whatever he wanted. So we start with Singapore style Fried Vermicelli. It was probably my favorite dish here, slightly spicy with just the right amount of flavor. Often with fried noodles, I tend to find them too oily. Not the case with the vermicelli at Curry King, it wasn't greasy at all.
The second dish we shared was sauteed beef with mixed vegetables. This was pretty good as well, although I did find the beef to be a little too chewy for my liking.
NC also highly recommended the plain congee, so we had to order that. To be fair, I've never been a big fan of plain congee, I always found it tasteless and bland. So I wasn't a big fan of this, although I did appreciate the glutinous nature of the congee.
The last dish we shared was the sweet and sour pork with pineapple. It was exactly as the name says, sweet and sour. I quite liked it, the pork was well done.
Overall, I really enjoyed Curry King Cafe. We polished off every single dish without a problem. If I was in the mood for Chinese food another day, I would definitely come back and order these dishes again. NC sure knew what he was talking about.
