Fun Playing With Soup at the Happy Buddha Again!

Last Thursday, I had a second opportunity to sample another take on Noodle Soup from The Happy Buddha Cafe in Cleveland Heights Ohio. I can't wait to get here with some friends and eat some other menu items! Since I knew Bob was making meat for dinner, I decided to try the Tofu with Flat Noodle Soup for lunch.


One of the Happy Buddhas at the Front of the House


La Jiang (Chili Sauce) - OMG Spicy!



I was delighted to learn that the "flat noodle" I ordered was not a rice noodle, but one of my absolute favorite wheat noodle styles - the pudgy "Yi Mein."



Now I've added a little La Jiang to the tops of the fresh, creamy tofu squares. It really perks them up!





And - I remembered just in time what Shirley had told me before - they'd happily use Chinese broccoli instead of American on request. And this was perfectly cooked - soft enough to fold and bite through, but not at all mushy or overcooked. Happy Buddha remains my favorite East Side location to play with Chinese Food!
