Who wants to go back to school?! (said no one ever) So you…read morethink you can find Scoool? Scoool is located in a very obscure, hidden industrial building in some back alley way in Kwun Tong. Sounds sketch, I know. It requires a bit of brain power, navigational skills, and asking for directions with local security guards. Talk about the Amazing Food Race... (My brain is going haywire from seeing school spelled as 'scoool' with the red squiggly lines underneath...) When you turn left onto Hing Yip St from the Kwun Tong MTR/Hoi Yuen Road, be sure to walk down the right side of the street. After 800 ft or so, look for a large overhead sign between two large industrial buildings, which will say "美興工業大厦" (Mei Hing Building) with an arrow pointing up, and "永興工業大厦" (Wing Hing Building) with an arrow pointing down - This is to indicate whether you turn right (for Mei Hing) or left (for Wing Hing Building) after walking down the inner alley. You want to turn left for Mei Hing, remember. With the help of some guards, who correctly guessed we were going to 小時光 (seems like many before us were also lost; I hope this review helps!), we were able to find Scoool, that is, after going up an elevator for Mei Hing block B (there's a block A too...so confusing) to the first floor, THEN walking across an empty lot to block A, from which you turn left (passing the block A elevators on your right) to a fire escape door at the end of the hall, and behind it, Scoool (C1). Phew, what a mouthful, and I haven't even gotten to the food or the restaurant interior yet. The second we walked in, we found ourselves transported back in time to a classroom setting, wooden desks and chairs. We were handed a menu and told to walk down to the end to place our order at the cashier. We arrived at around 8:55pm, just in time for the last order call at 9:00pm. The menu is only in Chinese - with Taiwanese pinyin (Zhuyin or Bopomofo) on the right-hand side of each Chinese character, a nice detailed touch! We ordered a fried chicken bento 夜市香酥雞便當 (HK$55), and upgraded the rice with mince pork rice 魯肉飯 for an additional HK$8, plus a beef noodle soup 紅燒牛肉麵 (HK$48), which is a must in any Taiwanese restaurant. After placing our order, we turned around and started to walk back to "our" table only to find it occupied by someone else. For a strange reason, I was hit by a sudden wave of nostalgia and felt like I was navigating my way through a high school cafeteria, trying to find an open seat among different friend groups and cliques. (Lots of flashbacks happening in this review...) We were given a buzzer, which buzzed when our order was ready. Dishes placed on trays, we carried them back to our table, while picking up cutlery on the way. We tried the fried chicken first - I liked it but only wish they had more chili powder to it. Thankfully it wasn't too salty for my tastebuds. Big plus is that they didn't jip us on the chicken portion - a substantial piece of chicken breast - perfect for that post-workout protein fill (as my friend and I went to the gym beforehand). The mince pork on rice was a bit of a let down and not as authentic as the one I had in Taipei. It was very dry and not saucy. But the beef noodles, hands down the best dish that evening. The beef chunks were slightly fatty but so tender, the meat just fell apart in your mouth. Noodles perfectly chewy. The soup with thin slices of red chili for that subtle spicy kick, ugh so good. I would have drank more but noticed the beef fat/oil solidifying and stopped myself. There were also small sides of bean sprouts, Bok Choi, and pickled radish. I can imagine this place getting crowded during weekday lunches, since the overall quality of the dishes is fairly good and for an unbeatable price. Now I know where to go to get bowl of delicious Taiwanese beef noodle soup 紅燒牛肉麵, yessss.

We ordered two beef noodles, one with soup and one without (HK$65 each). The beef soup noodles had a very flavorful and strong broth, a bit sweet for my taste. The dry one was ok, not too memorable. I ordered Taiwanese fried chicken expecting the crunchy and crispy popcorn chicken bites, but they were chicken strips instead? Not the same... Our friends also ordered fried shrimp with salted egg sauces and it ended up costing HK$118?! A rip-off, much? Drinks service was a bit slow, while they served my friend's beer right away, they overlooked my cold soy milk, which was given to me in a takeaway cup with straw...? The 乾煸四季豆 green beans was pretty tasty, lots of the fried dried shrimp. I'll return if I'm in the Quarry Bay area and craving Taiwanese beef noodles.

It speaks of our idea of a farm: wholesome, natural, nostalgic, healthful, minus the dirt under your fingernails and the manure on your boots. It makes you think that you are eating healthy and natural, even if you are eating fried chicken or an 8" tall honey toast loaded with ice cream and cream. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate this place. Successful marketing, that's all. It's nice to feel a bit closer to nature and a bit more tranquil just sitting inside the restaurant. And their food is pretty good. We ordered a set lunch, which for $72 includes a drink, an appetizer, an entree (your choice of protein includes beef, pork, chicken, duck and fish! No veg option though) and a small noodle/rice. They hand made their noodles, and the beef is tender, so I really enjoy their beef noodle soup. We couldn't resist ordering the honey toast. It is a stack of 3 thick slices topped with mango, mango ice cream, whipped cream, sauces, marshmallow and more. Quite a feast for the eyes. They bring along knife and tongs to make it easier to make headway into this gigantic tower. I really enjoy the dessert. The toast is crunchy on the outside but still soft inside, so it doesn't hurt my tongue like sandpaper, and has a hint of sweetness. Personally, I think this is a dessert best shared among 3 or 4 people. The two of us got really stuffed putting this away. A significant portion of the menu is dedicated to drinks (tea and coffee) and desserts, making this a great spot for afternoon tea.

SUMMARY After a disastrous first few hours in HK, this was…read moreour first meal in HK and it was better than expected. It definitely cured the hangry in all of us! Would recommend, but don't expect great service here...or in HK for that matter. ATMOSPHERE (5/5) While I could look this up, I believe this is a licensed theme restaurant as evidenced from the cute, cartoon like atmosphere TeaWood restaurant. The place is adorned with cartoon characters in a woody setting. It's very well done and hat's off to the people who put this together. FOOD (5/5) Wife says this is a Taiwanese character that serves Taiwanese meals and maybe because of this, we were very happy with our meal---mostly because we had a really crappy time getting to our AirBnB and the general attitude of people who we encountered along the way (unhelpful and rude). I ordered a tripe based soup with noodles in a beef broth and it was a 5/5 for me. The broth was very clean, not oily. Noodles were perfectly good. Tripe was not over or undercooked. Vegetables still had a bit of snap to it. Really happy with my meal. My wife ordered a red bean dessert that I took a few bites as well. One of the things I liked about that was how perfectly cooked the mochi balls were. All around delicious. SERVICE (2/5) Perhaps this is a cultural thing, so HK people don't beat up on me too harshly for saying this: but even in a more pricier corporate type of restaurant like this, the service is not friendly was not friendly here and especially at smaller mom and pop shops ***anywhere*** we went in HK. Any time we asked a question, there was this sort of disbelief or umbrage that we would ask a question about what was in a dish, what a certain type of ingredient was, etc. RETURN VISIT? If we do return, we'd probably go back or at least I would. Sans the service, the restaurant is good and tourist friendly to a certain point.

Rocky road ice cream, slightly chewy and not so fried bread, whipped cream and strawberries! Yum! A cute place, food came out quickly and servers were polite (you may need to flag them down).

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.
