So what exactly is a "lingering flavor"? Is it the unmistakable result of eating too much chili? Wait, that's a "lingering odor". Alright, let's try again. Is it the burning sensation in your mouth after eating suicide wings? Well, I certainly hope not. I guess it could possibly be the essence of The Cannery's lobster oil or the strong earthiness of Blue Water's truffle fries. Ah yes, those are certainly desirable lingering tastes. Now if a restaurant dares call itself "Lingering Flavor", it really needs to live up to it. Furthermore, it'd better be a darn good flavor since there would be no repeat customers if it wasn't.
This modest bubble tea and Taiwanese hole-in-the wall resides right next to London Drugs near Kingsway and Joyce. I've been eying this place for awhile and finally had the chance to pay it a visit with Costanza. He'd already had eaten lunch; but I dragged him along for some company. I actually was over at his house to help him with some of the renovations. So from now on, I'd help him with one condition - eat out with me after every visit! LOL... I'm now resorting to coercing my friends to eat with me! Since he wasn't hungry, he decided on a bubble tea with mini-pearl
Now the bubble tea itself was incredibly sweet while the mini-pearls were cute; but a bit too chewy. As for my Spicy Beef Noodle, it was decent. The soup base was indeed spicy; yet lacked the richness you'd expect from a beef noodle. The meat could've been a bit more tender

The Good:
- Inexpensive
- Quick eats
- Food is decent
The Bad:
- Not a lot of seats, you can't really linger
- Bubble tea is on the sweet side, the sugar really lingers

"I must say that the Lingering Flavor "mascot" is a bit troubling..."
Wow, and I thought the Tiger Woods jokes were bad!
What is the minced yellow stuff in the middle of the beef noodle bowl? Ginger?
Yah, those Tiger Woods jokes were very bad... LOL...
The yellow stuff is pickled mustard greens. Adds a nice zing to the broth & noodles.
how much was the bowl of noodles and the bubble tea?
I believe the noodles were like $6 and the tea was $3.50.
Where the heck do you find these places lol...look so sketch!! but I guess any restaurant AND car dealership on Kingway is sketch...
Every time I past this place, there is a lingering smell.
