Desert Storm:
This famous ramen shop had been on my "to eat" list for ages. One day, after I finished working in Tsuen Wan, I decided to try this out, nothwithstanding the heat (30-31°C!)
It was not too far away from Tsuen Wan MTR station and relatively easy to find.
The shop consisted essentially of a long corridor. All the chairs were bar stools. Some were next to the open kitchen. Decent spaces between chairs and good air-conditioning.Selections:
Gyogai and tonkotsu ramen (with soup);Tonkotsu ramen (without soup);
Tomato broth; and
the "Red Storm" (gyogai tonkotsu with special chili oil).
Needless to say, I chose Red Storm.
Red Rainstorm:
Good presentation.
Broth : Very good Gyoga and Tonkotsu with secret chili oil.
Not as overpowering as Musashi or Hide. The gyogai taste is probably similar to Agura but mixed with very smooth Tonkotsu , almost remisant of a light version of Buta O. Very good.
The chili oil had impact and was also very aromatic. The chili taste won't last too long in your mouth though. I ordered 'big spicy'. This was manageable. I thought this was better than Red David. Completely different from Akao in ButaO (they used "spicy miso") or Ramen Kura. However, I still prefer Tatsuya when it comes to spicy ramen. Tatsuya's was not that spicy but more aromatic. Still, I was very happy with the Red Storm.
The broth mixed well with the freshly chopped spring onions and the bean sprouts marinated in red chili and garlic.
Noodles:
Good quality wheat from Japan. Springy with pronounced wheat taste. Harder than most in HK, which should be great news for most ramen lovers.
Substantial portion!
Char Siu:
I wasn't too impressed with this pork shoulder when I first looked at it. But these two large pieces were surprisingly tender and aromatic. Σ（ﾟдﾟlll） There were also some Chopped Char Siu in the broth as well, which I thought was pretty good.
Gyogai:
Need more gyogai? Just mix it in your broth with the fish/shellfish powder resting on a piece of nori. Good for gyogai fans.
Egg: No complaints but Agura's is still more flavourful.Bamboo shoot: Nice and crunchy. Good stuff.
Free soft drinks during tea time.
HK$83. No service charge.
Conclusion:
One of the staff members was highly motivated and friendly. He definitely knows his products very well and seemed passionate about ramen. I had a pretty big suitcase with me at the time. He helped me move it around and looked after it. That was much appreciated.
I live pretty far from Tsuen Wan, but I will definitely return just for Taifu.
Highly recommended.
Other Info. :
由於我個多月前才在日本吃過一蘭，所以暫不會排大隊去吃香港的新店。如閣下有時間，我反而會提議先來台風，等熱潮減退才去一蘭。
I just had Ichiran in Japan so I am not in any rush to try Ichiran Hong Kong. If you have the time, I recommend trying this first.
