Being that the winter season has gotten colder, all Grayson and I can think about is noodle soup from Deer Garden. By now we have practically gone to every single Deer Garden franchise in the metro Vancouver area. No shame though because they have bigger portions and more soup options than other customizable noodle shops in the city. This time we decided to go to Deer Garden Richmond since we were in the area.

Grayson and I always order the lemon tea to go with our noodle soups.
Pumpkin and tomato fish soup
Grayson got his usual pumpkin and tomato fish soup wtih beef brisket and pork jowel meat. He usually doesn’t get these proteins for his toppings but he decided to try something new. As always, there was an ample amount of meat and veggies in the bowl. Although he gets this soup, he isn’t actually a fan of pumpkin so I usually get to eat the slices for him.
Coriander and Century Egg fish soup
I decided to try the coriander and century egg fish soup because I usually go with the pickled mustard and pepper fish one. I liked that there were a few pieces of century egg in it without having to choose it as one of my toppings.
At first, I wasn’t going to add the mustard greens as a topping but I love it too much so I couldn’t resist. I noticed that when I order my noodles with beef, they usually put in less fish than they would otherwise so I probably won’t get beef next time. Not that I’m complaining because there was quite a bit of beef in there and I could give some to Grayson but I prefer to have more fish.
After our meal we decided to head on over to the arcade to play some games because there’s not much to do when it’s snowing outside and sometimes you just need to do something nostalgic.
