This is my 5th time at this restaurant in three weeks and oh my gosh, I LOVE IT!! It is such a cute little restaurant with a good variety and lovely service and restaurant decor. Their motto is that their food is all MSG-free - amazing already. There are a variety of noodles served from different cities in Asia such as Chiang Mai, Taipei, Tokyo, Kansai, HangZhou, etc. I personally really enjoy soup noodles, and have tried the Tokyo, Kansai, and Gurney. My favourite is the Tokyo and Kansai -

This is my 5th time at this restaurant in three weeks and oh my gosh, I LOVE IT!! It is such a cute little restaurant with a good variety and lovely service and restaurant decor.

Their motto is that their food is all MSG-free - amazing already. There are a variety of noodles served from different cities in Asia such as Chiang Mai, Taipei, Tokyo, Kansai, HangZhou, etc.

I personally really enjoy soup noodles, and have tried the Tokyo, Kansai, and Gurney. My favourite is the Tokyo and Kansai - especially because I love soup noodles. The Gurney is good as well especially because there are two types of noodles in one bowl, but I do not particularily enjoy rice vermicelli.
The service was amazing, everyone knew how to speak both English and Cantonese. Everyone was very lovely with smiles and fantastic service in general.

Lovely restaurant decor - clean, simple, cute, perfect.

If you cannot finish your bowl of noodles and want to save it for later, you can always ask for a takeaway with no extra charge. They will separate the soup and noodles for you, the best!
Additionally, if you go often, there is a loyalty card where if you collect up to 10 stamps by visitng 10 times, on your 11th visit, you will recieve a free bowl of noodles! LOVE this restaurant!

題外話/補充資料： No reservations available at any time of the day.

最近在上環發現了這間店，初初被吸引註視的，不是其深奧的英文店名，而是其蘋果綠色的色調，給人一種和諧寧靜的感覺，然而，「狐狸的尾巴？」其店名經解釋後，原來是兩種做麵的材料，高粱和穀子，原來是吃麵的餐館！天氣酷熱，人們愛吃雜粮多於吃米飯，不知這種想法是不是適用於外籍人士，因為座上客有一半是外國人，大家都進來吃碗粉麵或點個小吃。我們先點 Prawn Salad，以羅馬生菜為主，佐以雜菜，紫薯和柚子，當然少不了大蝦，用了薑汁乳酪作醬汁，怡神醒胃，沙律爽脆，作為頭盤，兩人分吃也可。Beef Tataki with Sambal，以參巴醬調味的小食，牛扒約四成熟，薄切，上面再放花生碎，乾蒜，蔥等，牛扒不韌，微辣的參巴醬令牛扒更具個性，乾蒜花生等很惹味。粉麵的名稱，大多是用世界各地城市命名，點了Amoy，是魚柳配鮮滾魚湯米粉，材料有新鮮的盲鰽魚柳，豆卜，白菜和芝士薄脆，米粉很好吃，因吸索了滾熱辣的濃魚湯，芝士薄脆很特色，鹹香多滋味。Gurney是一碗很有趣的組合，有米粉和油麵，以鮮蝦湯作湯底，是星馬湯麵常見的基本組合，兩種粉麵，兩種口感，而且配料有五香豬肉和蝦，豆卜，銀芽，白菜，蝦湯的濃鬱味，無味

魚柳配鮮滾魚湯米粉

Gurney是一碗很有趣的組合，有米粉和油麵，以鮮蝦湯作湯底，是星馬湯麵常見的基本組合，兩種粉麵，兩種口感，而且配料有五香豬肉和蝦，豆卜，銀芽，白菜，蝦湯的濃鬱味，無味精，鮮甜表露無遺，實在是好吃。

賣$15 的白灼時蔬？怎也要點一碟吧！還配了柚子醬油和自家製辣椒醬，菜心灼得剛好，辣辣地，好過癮！

由友人帶領，來到上環一家裝修時尚的小店，一看招牌「FOXTAIL & BROOMCORN」，小妹才疏學淺，不明「BROOMCORN」的意思，但「FOXTAIL」一字直接了當，不就是狐狸尾巴？！現今豺狼超然若揭，那管尾巴露與不露，橫看豎看也掩飾不了惡貫滿盈，狐狸不是要來湊熱鬧吧！甫坐下，先要點喝的來解暑。Carriot Juice 不單是甘筍，還加入蘋果和薑，味道溫順香甜，絕對健康的新鮮之味！餐牌如一本小冊子，設計精美、圖文並茂及以雙語印刷，非常細心的製作。無論小食、沙律和主打的九款麵食均展示出亞洲地方色彩，更以健康為主道，這頭狐狸似乎與別不同！時尚的裝潢，顯現瑞士籍店主的風格及創作意念，這玻璃瓶紅色的液體，內含八角、玉桂及花椒等香料，西式中又帶出了中國味，原來是自家製的辣椒油，不過味道一點也不辣，只滲出淡淡的香氣！友人發辦，先嚐小食。香辣豬肉小黃瓜用上自家製的辣椒油調味，因此並不刺激，貴乎香料之香與清新的酸味，讓嘴巴感受著青瓜自身的水感。至於豬肉質感幼嫩，味道亦以原味呈現，整體來得很自然。白灼菜心爽中帶軟、纖維茂密、富有菜香，一瞬間把味蕾引到青草地似的，曾幾何時熟悉的蔬菜味道回來了，

由友人帶領，來到上環一家裝修時尚的小店，一看招牌「FOXTAIL & BROOMCORN」，小妹才疏學淺，不明「BROOMCORN」的意思，但「FOXTAIL」一字直接了當，不就是狐狸尾巴？！現今豺狼超然若揭，那管尾巴露與不露，橫看豎看也掩飾不了惡貫滿盈，狐狸不是要來湊熱鬧吧！

甫坐下，先要點喝的來解暑。Carriot Juice 不單是甘筍，還加入蘋果和薑，味道溫順香甜，絕對健康的新鮮之味！

餐牌如一本小冊子，設計精美、圖文並茂及以雙語印刷，非常細心的製作。

無論小食、沙律和主打的九款麵食均展示出亞洲地方色彩，更以健康為主道，這頭狐狸似乎與別不同！

Home Made Spicy Sauce

時尚的裝潢，顯現瑞士籍店主的風格及創作意念，這玻璃瓶紅色的液體，內含八角、玉桂及花椒等香料，西式中又帶出了中國味，原來是自家製的辣椒油，不過味道一點也不辣，只滲出淡淡的香氣！

Spicy Pulled Pork & Cucumber

友人發辦，先嚐小食。香辣豬肉小黃瓜用上自家製的辣椒油調味，因此並不刺激，貴乎香料之香與清新的酸味，讓嘴巴感受著青瓜自身的水感。至於豬肉質感幼嫩，味道亦以原味呈現，整體來得很自然。

Poached Seasonal Vegetable

白灼菜心爽中帶軟、纖維茂密、富有菜香，一瞬間把味蕾引到青草地似的，曾幾何時熟悉的蔬菜味道回來了，非常合意！經柚子醬油及自家製辣椒油輕輕點綴，蔬菜就是美得純樸！

嚴格來說菜心雖不是夏季的時令蔬菜，不過憑其質量，要比不少時令蔬菜來得更出色。

Beef Tataki with Sambal

鮮紅的森巴醬牛肉，烹調方法似乎較為簡單，清怡與原汁原味的吃法，要看您懂得欣賞才行！

「FOXTAIL & BROOMCORN」備有雞、蝦與牛三款沙律，友人挑選了大蝦沙津。

大蝦爽口彈牙，與羅馬生菜及柔潤的沙律醬配搭出清爽的味兒，想不到驚喜在後頭。我愛的紫薯塊竟藏在碗底，蕃薯不但美味，這道沙律的配搭肯定能令腸道暢通無阻。

Weekly Starter: Tofu

每週均有特設的頭盤，給我們碰上的是豆腐配上日本醬汁、木魚絲和蔥花。豆腐幼滑，在樸素的醬汁和配料襯托下，期待著滿滿的黃豆香。可惜豆香卻來得很淡薄，或許可選用別家出品的豆腐，相信效果會更為理想。

來到主打的麵食，Amoy 是魚柳配上鮮滾魚湯米粉。一呷湯底，魚湯與典型的廣東魚湯有著不一樣的韻調。廣東魚湯魚味深厚，有時還帶著薑或芫荽的氣味。「FOXTAIL & BROOMCORN」的魚湯以魚骨熬製，魚味較輕，但富有絲絲的甜調，有點跟雞湯混魚湯的感覺，儘管風格不一，但味道實在各有所長！

當晚採用了盲糟魚柳，入口啖啖肉，魚肉鮮香細嫩。圓形的是芝士製的薄片，入口鹹香，當芝士的西式口味碰上中式的魚湯米粉，沒有突兀之感，反而顯得新穎又美味。而米粉特別的爽口，據經理解釋，米粉也經過獨特的處理手法，因此口感與別不同。

色彩繽紛的 Chiang Mai，叫人看得心花怒放！我喜愛泰國菜，這碗以清邁命名的粉絲，盡是香草的芬芳，與及酸、甜、鹹、辣的調子，加上爽口的鮮蝦及免治豬肉，口味非常「泰國」，所以深得我心。不過不喜歡泰菜的人兒，或許會認為香菜味道過於濃烈，未必接受得來！

「Gurney」要展示的是檳城的蝦麵。端來時香氣十足，不禁令人想起蝦麵濃郁的口味而垂涎。

麵條是由油麵與米粉摻合，依足地道蝦麵的獨特做法。而湯頭帶有蝦麵的香氣，但湯感和口味卻來得清淡，與蝦麵濃稠的湯底實是個大反差，健康版的蝦麵更需耐心地去細味。除了白菜，還有鮮蝦和五香豬肉作配料，「Gurney」就是不太一樣的蝦麵！

外籍人士也懂得紅棗、雪耳、龍眼肉和杞子的滋補功效，這道少甜的糖水真來得有板有眼。

FOXTAIL 和 BROOMCORN 分別解作高樑和穀子，原來是古時製作麵條的材料，並不是我胡扯的狐狸尾巴，故此「FOXTAIL & BROOMCORN」名字的由來具有相當意思。

「FOXTAIL & BROOMCORN」本著健康的宗旨，以慢煮的烹調方法提取食物的原味，不會採用味精和任何具反式脂肪食材和油炸食物。而且麵食的份量十足，相信女士們絕對可以兩人共享一碗。姑且說是狐狸尾巴，亦是一頭心地善良的狐狸，絕不會幹出人臉狼心損人利己的事情。

Foxtail & Broomcorn, 小米同高粱，話說係呢間摩登麵店嘅造麵原料。位於上環蘇杭街嘅呢間麵店，淡湖水藍色嘅招牌，上面只有一個'&' 字，走嘅係清新路線，感覺健康，裝修時尚，擺脫一般麵店嘅古舊風。咁麵店有咁多種，各國有唔同口味風格，有時候同朋友出去食飯，有人鍾意日式拉麵，有啲鍾意台式牛肉麵，又有啲鍾意上海拉麵，咁多種，要顧及哂真係好難。不過响foxtail & broomcorn 就冇咁嘅問題啦，日式拉麵，台灣五香腩肉麵，星馬蝦麵，上海炸醬麵，關西烏冬，夏門麵線，長崎素麵，連白滝蒟蒻麵都有，梗有一款啱你口味。關子賣完入正題，款就多啦，正唔正宗，好唔好味先? 老實，佢哋賣點唔係正宗，話哂新派煮意，西人主廚，講嘅係slow cooking，要嘅係原汁原味冇添加喎。 Tokyo - 雞湯拉麵配慢煮牛肋肉雞湯味偏淡，偏甜，似乎醬油校得甜過頭，淨飲係ok嘅，唔似有味精。麵質偏實，唔上味，食落有啲寡。齋係以上兩點，可以話跟日式拉麵大纜都扯唔埋。咪先，人哋冇講過係日式拉麵喎，係個名有少許誤導啫。不過，啲牛肋肉就不得了啦，慢煮所以好稔，入口即溶，汁料又甜又辣，好入味，食完之後味道停

Foxtail & Broomcorn, 小米同高粱，話說係呢間摩登麵店嘅造麵原料。
位於上環蘇杭街嘅呢間麵店，淡湖水藍色嘅招牌，上面只有一個'&' 字，走嘅係清新路線，感覺健康，裝修時尚，擺脫一般麵店嘅古舊風。

咁麵店有咁多種，各國有唔同口味風格，有時候同朋友出去食飯，有人鍾意日式拉麵，有啲鍾意台式牛肉麵，又有啲鍾意上海拉麵，咁多種，要顧及哂真係好難。不過响foxtail & broomcorn 就冇咁嘅問題啦，日式拉麵，台灣五香腩肉麵，星馬蝦麵，上海炸醬麵，關西烏冬，夏門麵線，長崎素麵，連白滝蒟蒻麵都有，梗有一款啱你口味。

關子賣完入正題，款就多啦，正唔正宗，好唔好味先? 老實，佢哋賣點唔係正宗，話哂新派煮意，西人主廚，講嘅係slow cooking，要嘅係原汁原味冇添加喎。

Tokyo - 雞湯拉麵配慢煮牛肋肉

雞湯味偏淡，偏甜，似乎醬油校得甜過頭，淨飲係ok嘅，唔似有味精。麵質偏實，唔上味，食落有啲寡。齋係以上兩點，可以話跟日式拉麵大纜都扯唔埋。咪先，人哋冇講過係日式拉麵喎，係個名有少許誤導啫。不過，啲牛肋肉就不得了啦，慢煮所以好稔，入口即溶，汁料又甜又辣，好入味，食完之後味道停留响個口一陣子。物以罕為貴，一碗麵得幾片，值得細味品嚐。

Gurney - 蝦湯鴛鴦麵配手撕豬肉

唔知個名點黎，淨係知道碗麵未埋枱已經聞到陣陣蝦香。褔建油麵加米粉做底，已經唔係第一次食呢個組合，個人覺得冇咩好，不過純屬個人口味，與質素冇關。個蝦湯呢，聞就正，食就仲正，香濃嘅蝦味，有咸香，有蝦甜，濃而不膩，飲完一口就想飲第二啖。至於啲豬肉絲就不過不失啦，味道適中，唔鞋。一碗蝦麵有三隻蝦球，屬一般貨色。

睇黎呢間麵店仲有改善嘅空間，始終麵食係有一定嘅味道規範，湯，麵，配料嘅組合係好重要，是但一樣唔掂或者唔夾都會破壞整體口感食味。不過，我好欣賞主廚嘅跳出框框，創新風格，將麵食升呢，可見得係誠意之作，請繼續努力。

Foxtail & Broomcorn serves all types of Asian noodles and is named after two grains used in the making of noodles for the past 4000 years. One of their marketing tag line is MSG Free and after being challenged by a friend about what's so bad about MSG, I decided to educate myself on this matter. MSG stands for monosodium glutamate and is widely used in Japanese and Chinese cuisines. It was first discovered in seaweed in Japan and is said to contribute an umami flavor when added to food.

Foxtail & Broomcorn serves all types of Asian noodles and is named after two grains used in the making of noodles for the past 4000 years. One of their marketing tag line is MSG Free and after being challenged by a friend about what's so bad about MSG, I decided to educate myself on this matter. MSG stands for monosodium glutamate and is widely used in Japanese and Chinese cuisines. It was first discovered in seaweed in Japan and is said to contribute an umami flavor when added to food. Glutamate is actually found in lots of natural protein-rich foods like tomato, Parmesan, mushrooms and potatoes while there is no chemical difference between natural glutamate and those found in MSG so they are both treated exactly the same by our bodies. Therefore, MSG is actually perfectly safe for the vast majority of people to consume. While it's true that some people complain about unpleasant symptoms like headaches after consuming MSG, there is no clear scientific evidence that links MSG to those symptoms. Feel free to check out my blog for links to more info. I just think it's important that people do not just accept that something is true without proper evidence.

Okay back to the restaurant. I passed by it a few times and I was attracted by the big neon ampersand sign on top so went to investigate. I discovered that they mainly serve a wide variety of Asian soup noodles (yay my favorite!) like Japanese, Taiwanese, Thai and Malaysian for example. Prices are reasonable from $68-$98 with no service charge.

The decor is clean and simple with seats at the bar, a bar counter by the wall, and several small tables. I just love the turquoise color scheme throughout!

Gurney ($88) - I ended up trying this signature Malaysian dish here since I love spicy noodles. When they took my order, they asked me if I can eat spicy to which I reply with a resounding yes. When my noodles came, an extra side of chili paste was also provided to my delight. With a mix of fresh Hokkien noodles and thin rice noodles, the broth was quite flavorful with a hint of spiciness but I felt the prawn flavor in the broth could be much stronger compared to others I've had in the past. I was pleasantly surprised though with the amount of fresh prawns and pulled pork in the noodles. MSG or not, I thought that this was one solid bowl of prawn noodle soup. [4/5]

As I was leaving, I was handed this loyalty card to collect 10 stamps to redeem one bowl of noodle.

Verdict - I was pretty satisfied with my bowl of soup noodle though I don't think I would come here just for that as it was a bit pricey compared to other traditional prawn noodle shops. I think this place would be good for those who'd like the convience of being able to sample cross-ethnic Asian noodle dishes all in one shop.

The end result was, for me, entirely disappointing.I was with three other friends, so we decided to get all of the plates to share, plus a noodle bowl each.

When I first noted this place, I made a mental not to visit. But after reading the glowing review of this place at the F*** Yeah Noms blog, I accelerated my plans. The end result was, for me, entirely disappointing.

I was with three other friends, so we decided to get all of the plates to share, plus a noodle bowl each. Some thoughts:

Chicken Edamame

The Chicken Edamame ($40) is just that: beans and chicken. Dry and flavorless. At a $40 price point, you really should not get this. Poor, D-

Beansprout Salad w/ Sesame & Garlic

The Beansprout Salad ($30) is not much better. Try to imagine eating just a bowl of plain, uncooked bean sprouts. Now throw in some green onions and some fried garlic and *maybe* sesame (though I didn't really notice that). That's what you've got. Poor, D+

Spicy Pulled Pork & Cucumber

The Pulled Pork w/ Cucumber ($35), which I would call "cucumber with a little pork," was much better. First, it's noted as spice-level 2 on the menu, the highest spice level. It is moderately spicy. The sauce isn't particularly flavorful, but as I said, it is spicy, and the cucumber is nice and crunchy, and the little bits of pork that are in there are pretty good. Pretty good, B

Beef Tataki with Sambal

I had to look up Tataki ($50) on Wikipedia. Apparently it's just a Japanese method of food preparation that involves briefly searing thinly sliced meats that have been marinated in vinegar. Anyway, the stuff at F&B wasn't particularly spicy (though also labeled level 2), but it was tender and subtle and I have nothing to say against it. Good, B+

I got the Gurney ($88) which comes with "fresh Hokkien noodles + thin rice noodles with pulled pork in prawn broth." As you can also see, there are also prawns and cabbage.

Here's a look at the two types of noodles. Here's what I thought: the noodles were good. I like all noodles, and the Hokkien noodles had an excellent thickness and texture, with a decent flavor. The rice noodles were less interesting, but still very good.

The broth of the soup however wasn't great. It's "prawn broth" and once again, the menu is starkly literal. Tom Yum broth is cut with acid and spice and grease and salt in such a way that its shrimpiness is merely one in a nice balance of flavors. This is just prawn broth and it's bland while also being overbearingly prawny. It's listed as being spicy, but I didn't notice any spice, even after dumping the diced chilis on the table into it. The broth somewhat ruined my enjoyment of the noodles, since of course they wound up tasting of prawn and little else.

The pork was in small amounts, but it was good. Overall: marginally acceptable, C-

In general, none of my dining companions felt blown away by this place. "Okay" was about the best anyone managed. My wife ordered the Nagasaki ("cold somen noodles with almond crusted chicken" $78). She wasn't a fan, and thought the chicken was dry and the noodles were bland. She gives it a C-

My general thought is that the food is bland. Only the cucumber and the tataki had any flavor to them beyond just "prawn flavor." At the end of the meal, somebody from the restaurant asked us if there was anything they could do to make the food better, what with them being a new restaurant and all. What was I supposed to say? "Make it better"? In the end though, they are new and maybe they will make it better. I got a rewards stamp card, so maybe I'll try it again in a month.
