\"Img_2371\"<\/a> This week on Pacific Palate I visited Jim’s Noodle Express at 382 Robson Street in Vancouver, right across from the Vancouver Public Library Building.<\/p>\n

This little shop is the baby brother to the original Jim’s Noodle House in Richmond.  It was opened in 1996 by Andy Wong, grandson of the ‘Jim’ in the title of the shop.<\/p>\n

\"Img_2376\"<\/a> Andy and his staff make excellent wonton noodle soup, with a secret formula for the rich soup stock, and noodles and wrappers made to a specific recipe for the shop.  I had a chance to try stuffing the wonton wrappers like they do at the shop.  I was supposed to be able to wrap 15 wontons in a minute.  I managed 3.  But when I did finish the 15, they weighed exactly one pound, just like they should have.  At least I wasn’t ripping off the customers by making small wontons.<\/p>\n

\"Img_2377\"<\/a> At Jim’s, the ‘express’ is for real, as you can get a bowl of noodles and wonton to go in just a few minutes, but the wontons, noodles and greens have been cooked just seconds after you ordered them.  Don’t stop at the pork and shrimp wontons, though.  They also offer delicious curried fish balls, scrumptious hoisin short ribs, shredded pork and beef tendon.<\/p>\n

\"Img_2375\"<\/a>  I never thought I would like tendon…as the pieces look like chunks of hard fat…but surprise!  The texture was toothsome and the flavour superb.  If you’re in a hurry, and on a budget, check out Jim’s.<\/p>\n

Don’t forget to get your tickets for the Oxfam World Food Day event I’m emceeing on the 11th.  Click here<\/a> for more information, and hope to see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
