Vermicelli and flat rice noodles are boring that’s why the noodles here attracted me.
There are so many different types.
The last time I had some decent noodles was at Happy Noodles in Happy Valley because they had Laksa and Tom Yum Kung soup base.

Anyway I came here especially for the noodles with abalone and fish maw which cost $138.
The udon with garoupa and the noodles with prawns both cost over $100 per bowl.

The rest of the choices could be ordered at other restaurants so I chose the abalone and fish maw.
However I felt the noodles were rather expensive because at Maur's Kitchen in wanchai you can order abalone or parma ham noodles for $88 excluding service charge.

There are five types of noodles which can be seen in the picture below.
I chose the bottom most one which is a flat noodle sheet cut in triangles.

Fish maw and abalone noodles
For a bowl of noodles costing $138 you could imagine the most important item is the Abalone, so I was expecting to see the abalone or the presentation as good as their product picture above.
But all I could see was the vegetables on top.

Anyway, I found the Abalone and fish maw in the end underneath the noodles.

The noodles which were cut in triangles reminded me of wonton skins cut in half.

But overall the noodles tasted great, and the soup was nice and gelatinous.
The fish maw was nice, but it was a bit too fishy.
The abalone was soft and fresh.

Chili sauce
They make their own chili sauce and you can also buy jars of it to take home.
The chili sauce tasted really nice.

While I was waiting for the food I noticed so many abalone shells

For improvements I think they should improve on the presentation before serving it, but then I did not see the noodles when it left the Chef's hands, the abalone and fish maw may have sunk beneath while it was being brought over to my table.
