It's been quite a long time since I've been to Pacific Mall, but I came to do some cheap phone-related stuff and decided to pick up food from a few different places upstairs at the Heritage Town Food Court.
Sun's Kitchen
It was pretty busy especially since they make their noodles from scratch in front of you
Dan Dan Mian
Very peanuty with the sauce, but less heavy on the peanut flavour than the jajangmian at the other place we ordered from (below). It did taste better with the hot chili oil and the fresh noodle difference was really obvious - the noodles had more of a bite and tension to them and weren't as soft/soggy as other noodles.
sun noodles - dan dan mian - very peanuty as well - less than the jajangmian - better with the hot chili oil =much more tasty and the noodles were really good - freshly made in front of us - slight bite, less chewy than potato noodle and not as soft - good tension
Potato Noodle Soup of Bai
Making noodles sounds like an interesting use of potato
A2 Potato noodle with short rib $8.99
Clear chewy potato noodles were a lot gummier and chewier than the noodles from Sun's kitchen due to the potato texture. The broth had a strong seaweed flavour and wasn't really that great. The short ribs were braised well and very tasty, but it didn't quite work all together with the broth, noodles and short ribs.
QQ Noodle King
QQ Cold Noodle (top box) $5.99 and Jajiangmian
The QQ cold noodle had a good contrast of spicy and sour and the cucumbers helped make the dish rather refreshing. The flat noodles were pretty good, but the dish had too much vinegar at the end which made it rather overwhelmingly sour. The jajangmian was a large portion with okay noodles, but the flavour was really peanut heavy (which I wasn't as big a fan of).

Prairie Lamb Kabob
Yummy! Lamb skewers - I haven't had those in a long time.
7 for $15 including 3 lamb, 2 chicken and 2 beef
All of the skewers had the same lamb seasoning spices (cumin being the most prominent taste) - so the chicken and beef skewers were a little mismatched. The lamb was delicious with the seasoning though and the lamb meat was done well.
Yummie Egg Waffle
There was a long line waiting for the egg waffles at Yummie, which is a candy/bulk food store with a small section for egg waffles.
$3.50 for one egg waffle
Excellent egg waffles! I totally understand why the lineup was so long here (and why it was constant). The egg waffles were a perfect balance of egg flavour and vanilla and they were light and fluffy as opposed to dense inside.
Tung Tung Dan Quan King
No line up at Tung Tung, it used to be a super big and popular chain that had locations in most of the major Chinese malls around the GTA.
$3.50 for egg waffles
Harder egg waffles than Yummie and not as tasty overall. The flavour was a little off in the egg waffle since it tasted like the batter was old? It was also super dense so that the egg waffles were almost cake like.
The inside of the egg waffles tells the difference between the two places.
