Thank you for once again stopping to read mmm-yoso!!!, a food blog. Kirk and His Missus are still enjoying a short vacation and Cathy is still writing.
You might recall my post about the 2024 Rose Parade road test in October, when The Mister and I found ourselves at Tam's Noodle House in Rowland Heights and had a delightful breakfast.
It turns out that in December, we had time to decorate Rose Parade floats on three occasions from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. and wanting a nice meal before heading home in traffic, we decided instead of driving aimlessly to look for a place to eat, we would return to Tam's. The Mister began reading directions from the phone (since I don't know how we got here the first time) and at one signal light, noticed Mountain House restaurant, which Kirk had posted about in August. It was less than a mile from Tam's! 
It turns out there is an "Afternoon Tea" menu offered daily from 3-5 and we were just before 5 and were able to order from this special menu. 
Y1.- Wonton Noodle Soup ($12.99). A very large bowl of a not-salty but deep flavored pork based broth filled with ten thin-skinned wontons, each filled with meat and shrimp. Bok choy and springy noodles filled this bowl. Very filling and flavorful.
The Mister decided to order the Y10. – Deep Fried Chicken Wings with Salt & Pepper ($12.99). Four large, meaty drums and four large meaty flats, fried to a delightful crunch while lightly coated in salt, pepper and topped with garlic, chili and green onion and not really spicy.
This Afternoon Tea menu, just like the Breakfast Menu, includes a beverage. The lemon tea was great- a very strong tea with lemon slices and the coffee, served with a small pitcher of Black & White brand evaporated milk were kept constantly refilled.
So happy we found this restaurant.
Tam's Noodle House II 19035 Colima Road Rowland Heights 91748 (626) 820-9977 Open daily 8 a.m.-10 p.m.
Mmm… That’s a great meal. I love won ton soup and fried chicken wings.
The chicken wings look good
Looking at the third/regular menu, the prices were mostly the same and did not include the beverage, Soo. That ‘French toast’ will be ordered for breakfast or Afternoon Tea the next time we stop here. The wings and the soup were great choices after a long day.
The wings were excellent, ST. So lucky to have stumbled upon this restaurant.
nice that you got to try the special menu
Having ‘Afternoon Tea’ last until 5 p.m., was perfect for us, kat! They changed the float decorating volunteer hours this year to be from 8-4 (with 30 minutes for lunch, as usual) and that one hour made a difference. The food choices here were great.
