Is it OK to put gourmet* together with ‘noodle bowl’ and call your Asian restaurant the Gourmet Noodle Bowl? .. given that gourmet is (from Wikipedia) a cultural ideal associated with haute cuisine, which is characterized by elaborate preparations and presentations of large meals of small, often quite rich courses? No matter, they serve up great Chinese, Taiwanese and Indonese food there, and we ended the meal with ice cream servings of mango, green tea and durian flavors. There is a picture of durian – the king of fruit – on my post of Tue Mar 27.
