The noodles are either served dry(without soup) or with soup. Given how hot Hong Kong gets I opt for the dry noodles.

I made my way into Quarry Bay one cool morning. It did take me a good hour to get there, but nevertheless, I stumbled upon some unique stops enroute to Mian. It's nestled on a smaller street, and it's hard to miss, situated next to a coffee shop. The decor is hip and modern, and clean. Although their menu had other noodle items, I knew I had to get the braised brisket with the 'chinese pappardelle' lo mein. It was exactly how I envisioned it to be. The 2cm thick pappardelle made with duck egg had the perfect texture. The al dente texture complimented the sauce well; it was coated with the slighty sweet soy sauce of the beef. I savoured every bite, and wanted more of the noodles. This place is worth the trek, the quality of the noodles and the meat are stand outs, and one can always explore Quarry Bay afterwards.

Our group divided across the restaurant for a solid thirty minutes so we could hawk around and scout for a table. The fans distributed across the location made the weather bearable. Plastic chairs, clear plastic table cloth. Definitely wash your dishes once more just to play it safe - Timing: because of the sheer popularity of this place, I was already full by the time they started bringing our 4th and 5th dishes as it took about 30+ minutes for it to come out.

Quite a hole in the wall, especially if you get seated upstairs, but I always try to stop by when I'm in town. Part of it is nostalgia, but the other (more legit) reason is that they make an amazing char-siu/roast pork/roast goose on rice. I can't attest to the other dishes bc this is all I ever order here bc it's so bloody good (figuratively speaking)! And all for $50 HKD! You can't go wrong!

Due to the tight space and a second floor, they will put receipts on your food to keep track; wasn't much of a deal breaker for me, but might be for others. They like to turn tables really quickly, so don't dawdle after your meal or they may get annoyed. Because of that, it's a good place to get in and out really quick. A lot of people come here for lunch, so it's just courtesy to those waiting for a table. They won't let you buy anything less than 35 HKD after 11:30am, since that's their peak time and they'd rather you actually sit for a meal than chill out for a drink.

Looking for a place to eat in the Sham Shui Po district, we came across this local wonton mein…read more(noodles) joint on Pei Ho Street. The prices on the wall advertised wonton mein for $19 ($2.50 US) a bowl and wonton soup for $24 ($3.10 US) a bowl. There were quite a few people inside eating, so we thought we would give it a try. We are glad we did. You get three huge wontons in the bowl and quite a decent portion of noodles to go with it. The noodles were al dente, just the way they should be and the wontons were delicious. As a matter of fact, the wontons were the best of all the ones I have tried in Hong Kong. Will definitely go back again for more delicious wontons in the future.

We came in right before closing, around 9:30pm. There was plenty of seating still available. They told us they were out of lamb, but it's ok as I wanted beef. I'll come back for the lamb next time. The guys ordered the Tibetan-style dry beef noodles in garlic sauce (HK$42) and I opted for the beef noodle soup (HK$38). The food was served very promptly, within 5 mins of placing the order! And my my, was my noodle soup piping hot!! Mhmmm super warm and hearty, with a generous serving of coriander. WINNING. THAT BROTH THOUGH, HOLY COW. Very very flavorful. It reminds of the soup at the end of hot pot when everything's been cooked in it. Just like that. Full of beef flavor. I loveeeee. For the dry noodles with garlic sauce, it reminds me of tsukemen, where the broth came on the side. It's the same broth used for the noodle soup but a tad saltier. I saw the chili pepper next to this item on the menu so was hesitant about ordering it. But I tried a bit of my friend's and it wasn't too spicy at all! I'll definitely return for it! (And will need to return for the other skewers and cumin fried chicken wings!!) How much did we spend among four people? HK$205. What a STEAL! Around HK$50 per person. It doesn't get any better than that. Plus serving size is much bigger than that of Kau Kee, and for the same price, you're better off coming to Qinghai Tibetan Noodles. NOM AWAY!

Too bad what is happening there now but when one of my friends who have been there told me he has found a place that reminds him of his trip to Tibet, I have to give it a try. I have never tried Tibetan food before so honestly I did not have any expectations whatsoever, I went with a open heart and let it surprise me. The place is really small with only a few tables (outdoor seating as well if you do not mind the heat). There is nothing fancy about the décor here but I have seen quite a lot of happy customers here so I think my friend has recommended a rather nice place. Since he has been to Tibet and (supposedly) knows more about its food, I just let me order. He ordered signature noodles with muttons and beef for me. After a while the food was served. One of the staff came to us (maybe I did look like I was not in my element) and told us before we ate, we should smell it first. And we did. I could not really describe that but it was rather special, in a good way. The staff told us that for Tibetan food, it is very common to use something called "Ground Cumin" that has a very distinct aroma to it. And then I had a bite of the mutton, which was not so chewy and it went so well with the soup. I enjoyed my very first Tibetan food very much and since I do not know when I can finally go to Tibet, I guess I will come here again.

There was actually some mixed up with our reservations but luckily, we came on a weekday when the restaurant is not as busy. There are a ton of choices from the soup base to the hot pot ingredients. Pick whatever you like but make sure you order some beef and fried bamboo (one of my friend named it the "jingle bells" - how fitting!). They are excellent here. Apparently, I only realized then that not all my friends liked lunch meat in their hot pot... If Shing Kee is a little close to where I live, I probably come here a lot more often. Unfortuately, it's all the way in Shatin.
