Noodles made with a stone milled grinder
2019-04-06  41 瀏覽
Tried this place as I was in the area, mainly because it was cheap!Noodles cost under HKD28 and snacks are around HKD23


I was interested in the noodles because they are milled by this stone thing according to the poster.
There were some other interesting items like grilled fish in wine or something but it was all in Chinese.

I thought the star of the show were the ribs which I have previously tried in something restaurant but the ribs were not as good as that place.
The ribs were sweet and the texture was not soft and they did not come off the bone.

The noodles were just noodles, the broth was strangely sweet but then all Chinese foods are sweet.



All I recommend is probably the ribs.

Modern Thai Eatery

On this stretch of road, there are two Thai joints opposite each other, one is traditional while this one had a modern look to it with cabinets of pork scratching at the entrance.
Both joints are owned by the same owner as the staff seem to go back and forth.
The menu was simple


The Decor:


They had my favourite pandan desserts.

Settled for the Hainan Chicken and Boat Noodles.
I loved the rice because it was really fragrant and the chicken was tender as well.
The boat noodles were more of a surprise as the pork slices were fresh.
It is really difficult to get fresh pork these days and the broth was strong and sweet.
The noodles were a bit sticky though.
The side of pork scatchings were crunchy and addictive especially when it soaked the soup.

For drinks had the Thai Coffee and Lime Soda.
Will be back to try the restaurant opposite.

Wing Nin in Causeway Bay

Wing Nin Started off in Yuen Long and now they have branched into the City.
They opened their second branch in TST and they are in Causeway Bay.
The location in Causeway Bay is much better and caters for the crowd there.
Although I haven't tried their flagship store in YL, my experience at TST was very salty.
There are new items on the menu such as tossed noodles and cold brew tea so I was obviously here for the tea as I didn't have any expectations for the noodles.
Tried noodles with a choice of toppings.
This time the broth and toppings were not overly salty but strangely it was very sweet especially for the blood curds which is strange.
Their signature spicy sauce is sweet as well as spicy.
The star of the show was the egg which was runny in the middle.
The cold brew teas were fantastic.
There is a choice of oolong or Jasmine so tried both.
I was expecting oolong to taste better but Jasmine fare better.

Almost vegetarian fix

Went here for some vegetables and they have more options than before.
The sauteed spinach with bacon has always been there but the broccoli is new.
The broccoli turned out really delicious as the chili made it extremely appetizing and it wasn't too spicy.
There was garlic in it too and assorted mushrooms.
The spinach wasn't that tasty to begin with but it turns out all the sauce is at the bottom so if you mix it, the taste is great but evidently not fresh spinach so I don't recommend this dish.
Drinks is just drinks and refillable from the drinks bar.

Fung Shing is famous for scrambled milk and many other Shunde dishes.
I went to this one because it seemed the oldest out of the bunch located in Whampoa near exit D2.

To finish off, there was fried rice and vegetables.


I was actually looking forward to dessert as the baked sago pudding is always the best but this time is was sweeter than the one we had at Kowloon Bay.

The other dessert fared better as it wasn't so sweet topped with lots of desiccated coconut and peanuts.

Phole is known as the best pho in Vietnam but personally I like the North American ones as the broth tastes different.
The pho is ok here with a glass of herbs, not bad but just not my cup of tea.
I didn't like the pho they used but the broth was ok.

Unfortunately I didn't know there was a branch in Prince Edward so went to this branch.
On the veggie menu they had deep fried bittermelon and okra in three styles: plum seasoning, salt and pepper and salted egg yolk.
Plum seasoning is definitely a no no for me as it tastes sweet so I got the salt and pepper.
The batter was thin and crispy while the salt and pepper wasn't too strong.
As expected the bittermelon was crunchy and slightly undercooked.
