The noodles are either served dry(without soup) or with soup. Given how hot Hong Kong gets I opt for the dry noodles. Similar to a ramen shop, you can choose the protein pairing as well as the type of noodle thickness. Food: 4 stars Value: 4.5 stars (~70 hkd for lunch) Service: 3 stars Recommendations: braised pork with dry pappardelle noodles This is a regular lunch spot for me.

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.

Darrie Go Noodles focuses only on dim sum and noodle soup…read more In Hong Kong, you'd rarely go get dim sum by yourself at a restaurant because a dim sum plate usually comes in a size for 3-4 people to share. If you want to try variety of dim sum plates, going to a restaurant for dim sum by yourself is not a good idea. Targeting on patrons who would love to get dim sum by themselves, Darrie Go Noodle provides a very special menu/set meal that enables patrons to get various small dum sum plates and noodle soup. Order a set meal ($183 HKD) which serves 2 party, and it comes with 1 appetizer, 5 dim sum plate, i vegetable plate and 2 bowls of noodle soup, all with your own choices. For the noodle soup, there are 3 options: , beef bone broth(黑高湯葛粉絲), fish broth (白高湯米粉), and pork and dried ham broth (大高湯陽春麵). The broth is clean, sweet, non-greasy, and MSG-free!

I have been traveling back and forth Taiwan so frequently that I almost see myself as half a…read moreTaiwanese; one of the things that they pride themselves in has to be the food. Indeed, why would they not? Whether it is the street food found in street markets or proper meals such as beef noodles or taiwanese bento, Taiwan has it all. Having said that I have a secret rule of thumb when it comes to food, that is, I will never eat Taiwanese food in Hong Kong and the same applies to the Hong Kong food in Taiwan. It might be a preconception on mine that the authenticity would very much be lost when the cuisine is introduced to a foreign piece of land; adding to that would be the fact that I have been let down for too many times and have gradually lose faith in it. It wasn't until I have come to this shop coincidentally that I gradually restore hope in Taiwanese cuisines in Hong Kong. I think the best way to tell whether a restaurant is good or not is to try out the basics; beef noodle soup is a staple of Taiwan and it would very well be a good indicator in how well a restaurant prepare their foods. The broth is quintessential in a bowl of noodles and 程班長 does it like no others. Traditional taiwanese beef noodle broth is rich and seasoned with soy sauce, behind the mellow fullness a punch of heat will catch you by surprise, and this is exactly how the broth is like in 程班長; going against the slightly broad and substantial noddles, the two matches perfectly. Whereas for the priced jewel, the meats, which could either be brisket, tendon or tripe or all 3 of them, are all very well braised and are melt in your mouth tender. Last but not least, the pickles that add to the noodle soup play an important role in spicing up the flavors as well as freshen up the mouthful. Thank to this restaurant, may be it is not a bad idea to give a little try on taiwanese restaurants in Hong Kong; a leap of faith is indeed called for nonetheless.

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.

But people eat fast and leave fast, so you never have to wait too long to sit. However you can order to-go because the rice and dim sum dishes come in small size. Take to the nearby park and eat under the sun. I'm not a big fan of fun gor dumplings, to me they taste like water and are super bland. But I love them here!!! And they're huge! Packed full of meat and so flavourful. They also drizzle them with spicy soy sauce but the fun gor taste super good with/without any sauce.

I seldomly dine in and most of the times i will grab it togo and this price is very reasonable. As i had time to kill and was near by, so decided to to dine in. Taste is good as usual but cant say the iced lemon tea was good. I asked for a iced lemon tea and asked them to make it less sweet. After it arrived and I tasted it, it was really sweet. So i asked the staff that took my order to double check if this was the less sweet and she replied yet. Instead of sending it back and face a possibility of them adding a "secret ingredient" into my drink i consumed less then a 1/4 of it and left it. Would recommend this place as they somehow have mastered the nice texture of the steamed rice to my liking every time. How can you complain of marinated pork that has been placed atop of the rice and steamed together. As it is being steamed, the juices from the marinated penetrates the rice making every bit so delicious. Will definitely be back again, but no so sure if i want to dine in again as personal space can be very tight.

Located just steps away from the A2 entrance to the Yau Ma Tei MTR stop, Tung Tat Food Shop (通達食店)…read morehas been serving street side Hong Kong style food snacks for years. The daytime is usually filled with lines of folks looking to score any of their various street foods, which sometimes includes yours truly. Somehow the exterior has gotten worse over time. While it's as recognizable as any place, there were days where the restaurant looked much nicer. If one looks past beyond the lines, there is indoor seating available. It is every bit as tight as other HK eateries, with folks often sharing tables and not particularly a good fit for large groups. The place is clean and interestingly has a lot of portraits of pets. Most folks are gunning for their curry fishballs and cheung fun rice rolls, which can be directly accessed from their street side window. The fish balls have good texture and that spongy exterior is good with the pseudo spicy curry sauce. I love the rice rolls with a little peanut butter sauce and sesame, which is semi-addicting. There is also their siu mai, which seems on par with many of the food stalls, but is better with a bit of sweet soy and chili oil. Washing it all down with their cold and sweet soya milk (凍豆漿) is highly recommended. Since they're constantly crowded, the service works very quickly. I don't recall them accepting credit cards, but I have always paid in cash or with an octopus card. Compared to their Mong Kok location near the Flower Market, I would still choose this one in YMT.

TIP: MTR - Yau Ma Tei exit A2…read more I've only tried the curry fish balls and the siu mai. Both are good for a quick snack. Every time I walk by, I see people buying from the little take out window. They also have tables inside for normal dining. I've only gotten food to go. I enjoy the food here and I'd recommend giving it a try if you're in the area. SERVICE: At the take out window, you just tell them what you want and they prepare it in front of you and you just pay them right there. I usually pay in cash but I think they also take octopus card. I forgot to ask if they have English menus but at first glance, all visible signs are only in Chinese.

It was perfectly crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. I loved how fragrant the sesame was. We also had their lamb wrap, and we were pleasantly surprised at how crispy the wrap was and with the sweet hoisen sauce inside. Next, we had their beef goulash which is like a pan fried bun with beef inside. The goulash was super juicy and the beef was well seasoned. Lastly, we had a dan dan noodle with ox tongue. The soup base wasn't too spicy and noodles were al dente. The ox tongue was also fresh. Above anything else, all of the servers at the restaurant were really friendly and helpful. They proactively advised us on things we should order and ways to eat it. If you're in this area, I would give this place a try.
