I have a lot of memories at Cafe 100% , including one which was my first time trying a bowl of mixian I liked when I was young , which was at their Ming Tak Estate branch a long time ago . One day, I decided to try the same bowl of mixian again and see if the taste had changed a lot already or not . I went to their branch at Nan Fung Plaza, and we were quickly seated at a sofa seat as it was teatime during a weekday !Upon being served, I already noticed a big difference: the bowl was no longer

Upon being served, I already noticed a big difference: the bowl was no longer the deep, black bowl for noodles , but a much more shallow hybrid of a bowl and a plate ... I prefer the old more as it gave more of eating a bowl of noodles at a cha chaan teng feeling; this new one doesn't have that much of that feel anymore .
Anyway, I dug in . The broth was still the same, milky white with a bit of fish taste , and the fish cakes were still in a triangle shape, as I remember , and they were pretty chewy, too, with a fish taste, good ! The mixian, however, let me down a lot . Every strand of noodle was broken up and, therefore, very short and hard to eat , and what made it even worse was that it was so soft with no chewy texture at all Making it feel like baby food! Not good at all !
It's pretty challenging bearing to see the place which brought me into my journey with mixian , fall like this. Sure, the fish cakes are still up to standard , but the mixian, the main character, has gone wrong, which ruins everything ! I will soon go to another branch of Cafe 100% of Tao Yuen to see if it's just this specific shop's problem or not
