Maur's Kitchen and its magical soups

Found out about this restaurant through Jamel, but as I did not know what noodles they served and the location so I did not go until I saw it listed on Openrice.

After I read Jamel's review I just had to go.
However the opening hours are just 11-6pm for the time being.
This restaurant is located near the Blue house and inside this noodle bar it was really nice.

 

There were some Western comforts inside such the jar of Humbugs (old-fashioned British sweets) and there was some Spanish Ham with the hoof attached.

Some british sweets

 

 

Their concept was really good because they have used traditional Chinese soups as a broth for the noodles.
They have rich experience in making Chinese soups because they used to own The Soup Cafe.

There are basically two broths: Chinese ham, whelk and chicken or Pork and shark bones with dried scallop and Chinese mushrooms.
The chicken soup comes with the lemon chicken or the abalone, and the Roast pork and the Spanish ham which have a stronger taste is paired with the pork bone soup.

This was the kind of noodles and standards I was expecting for More Noodles in Central.
But anyway the price of the noodles here is cheaper than More Noodles and about the same price as Butao.
Although the menu is simple, it is concise and neat and had English.

 

It was really good that they offered Spanish Ham on the menu because it is similar to Chinese ham.

Despite being opened recently the noodle bar was full of people and the turnover rate was quite fast.

 

In the end I chose the Abalone noodles and I was greedy so I ordered extra sides of Lemon chicken, Chinese wine egg and Spanish Ham, but to my dismay the Spanish Ham was sold out!
But I considered myself lucky because one of the broths was sold out too.

Same as More noodles I found myself scouring for the Abalone when the noodles arrived, however the presentation of the noodles here were brilliant, the Abalone, Chicken and Chinese Wine egg were served separately.

Noodles:
I was really gutted because I forgot to take a picture of the noodles so I will have to be more descriptive.
On top of the noodles were some peashoots, chinese mushrooms and julienne potatoes which were not starchy.
The soup was as nice as expected however the julienne potatoes were slightly oily.

Lemon chicken:
From the review below, it seems there was more black pepper on top, but there was less on mine.
The olive oil with lemon was served separately on a metal spoon.
The lemon and olive oil was not exactly sour as I hoped, and the chicken was sliced chicken breast which reminded me of those ready to eat chicken breast slices.

Abalone
I was really impressed that it was sliced for your convenience.
The abalone was covered in sauce which gave it some flavour.

Chinese wine egg
The wine tasted strong and it was sligthly bitter, it was sprinkled with rock salt which contains fruit peel in it.
I found the spoon that held the lemon oil a brilliant tool to eat the egg with because I can't eat with those Chinese ceramic spoons and chopsticks.

Salt:
Italian salt which contains orange peel.

Lemon and ginger drink
I loved this drink, it had the exact taste of sweetened fresh lemonade with ginger.
The ginger was quite strong.
