 There were quite a lot of choices for udon, I wish I chose the one with mountain yam but ended up choosing this one.
The udon here is homemade because it is not quite uniform.
There is nothing wrong with their udon but I have never liked the Sanuki type because it is chewy and tasteless.
The one I ordered was quite tasteless too because there is no sauce on it and the waitress said the soy kelp sauce was for the tempura.

 The batter was quite thick and the oil was slightly rancid.

Mochi tempura:
The mochi tempura was tasteless.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
The tempuras were quite cheap, they were around $10 per portion.

性價比高的自家製烏冬
2013-03-30 61 views
在香港要吃好的日本拉麵不難，但要吃有質素的讃岐烏冬，絕對不容易，而在大角咀新九龍廣場內的うどん処今助，正是近期吃到值得推介的烏冬。聽友人說這裡的天婦羅質素不錯，決定先試這個海老天婦羅炸年糕撈烏冬壽司拼盤定食($86)，烏冬是自家製品，每條粗幼度也略有不同，看來不會是大批引入的量產貨色。鳥冬軟硬度剛好，彈牙有嚼勁，伴上的甘味照燒汁微甜帶點香，件紫菜絲吃很不錯。海老天婦羅及炸年糕份量不多不少，炸漿粉不厚不油膩，咬落香脆鬆化，加點海鹽更美味。整體來說，炸功及味道來計，以這個價錢吃到如此水準，合格有餘。跟餐的壽司看似是一般貨色，但蟹肉及吞拿魚卷物有點驚喜，三文魚及帆立貝還算鮮味，尤其愛那壽司飯的醋酸香，頗喜歡的。這裡環境不算豪華，但勝在光猛整潔，價錢大眾化，愛吃烏冬的朋友不妨到來試試。

    但願明天會更好
    2013-03-21 60 views
    在大角咀工作多年，眼看這區的食店遂漸多元化，有近年大熱的拉麵店，也有名師自立門戶開設的餅店，想來感受也不是不深..好像這裡，烏冬處，自然是吃烏冬的地方，中午定食由$60-$90多款選擇，看餐牌是蠻吸引的，就小試牛刀要了日式明太子撈烏冬及數款揚物..賣相算是可以，但明顯地明太子，旦，紫菜以至冬本身均不是好貨色，心頭已然涼了下來，稍稍拌勻後入口，烏冬硬身而略韌，掛不到汁及明太子，吃至最後幾口時，已覺咸至不能下嚥，放棄！北海道炸牛肉餅（$16）炸大蝦紫蘇天婦羅($12)兩款揚物的味道均印象模糊，牛肉餅香口，但也是略咸，炸大蝦紫蘇天婦羅紫蘇葉味重但稍放一會便告軟腍..嗯，店子處公司附近，是不排除再光顧的可能，但願明天會更好，店子如是，人生如是..

     賣相算是可以，
    但明顯地明太子，旦，紫菜以至冬本身均不是好貨色，
    心頭已然涼了下來，
    稍稍拌勻後入口，
    烏冬硬身而略韌，掛不到汁及明太子，
    吃至最後幾口時，已覺咸至不能下嚥，放棄！

    北海道炸牛肉餅（$16）
    炸大蝦紫蘇天婦羅($12)

    兩款揚物的味道均印象模糊，
    牛肉餅香口，但也是略咸，
    炸大蝦紫蘇天婦羅紫蘇葉味重但稍放一會便告軟腍..

    嗯，店子處公司附近，

    正宗自家製讃岐烏冬。
    天婦羅很不錯,十分抵食!
    環境舒適,服務週到.
    性價比極高!
    誠意推介!

    Possibly the most authentic Japanese cuisine in the area
    Chewy, Homemade Sanuki udon
    Good tempura!
    Great value, Good service.
    Highly recommended !



    Yomiuri Shinbun:

    In our search for good Japanese restaurants around the area, we saw this udon shop many times. Strange enough, it is not on Open Rice.


    However, they placed adverts in an old school Japanese newspaper, "yomiuri shinbun" 読売新聞! The equivalent of Ming Pao in HK and the Times in the UK, i.e. "serious" newspapers ！(◎_◎;)

    So we decide to investigate...

     Decor:

    At 12:10 p.m., we were the only other table of customers in the shop. The staff and the chefs seemed quite excited to see us there! ψ(｀∇´)ψ

    Now that's what I call motivation!

    We were shown our tables by the friendly and smiling waitress. We sat next to the large panel windows.

    It's really quite bright, clean and spacious with plenty of seats. The way the tables were arranged was good.

     Many different types of udon sets, tempura (per piece), sashimi and sushi.

    The menu is in Chinese, English and Japanese - accurate, formal Japanese *An important indicator ！(◎_◎;)

    We ordered a number of tempura, a Mountain Yam Wasabi Udon (Tororo udon ) and a Onsen Tamago Udon.



    Tempura:

    HK$9 for one Tempura Chikuwa (a.k.a. Lion Dog Roll in Hong Kong). Σ（ﾟдﾟlll） Cut into half and dipped into nori and batter. Excellent quality! Similar to the very good one at Kichi. You can't beat the price!

     Tempura Chicken Breast: Good! Wrapped in a tangy piece of Shiso leave, the chicken meat was succulent and tender. Again, value for money!

     The Shrimp Tempura was also good. HK$10 each. The shrimp had good shrimp taste. Good timing. Batter was the hard crunchy type but not too oily. Very good considering that it’s not a tempura specialist like Ana Gura or Inagiku.


    Again, better than Marukame Seimen. My wife was very happy with her tempura sweet potato too. (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

    One of the authentic ways of eating tempura, and indeed, which I suggest is the best way, is to dip it into salt. That's what was suggested in Imasuke's menu as well.

     Imported from Japan. Proudly made of just seawater from the Okayama area.

    Flavourable. Very good with tempura indeed. Try dipping your tempura into salt instead of the tempura sauce.




    Udons:

    Our udons arrived shortly afterwards. Looks very authentic:

    The tororo (yam) udon and onsen tamago udon:

     Generous amount of Tororo which tasted really authentic. Good quality nori. Even the grated wasabi was good quality stuff.



    My Onsen Tamago Udon looked similarly authentic. A lot of Tenkasu (shreds of left over tempura batter). Not extremely crispy but acceptable. The onsen tamago was flavourful but unfortunately the yoke was almost fully cooked. The sauce used was a sweet teriyaki sauce.

     Udon:

    Very chewy (not to be confused with hard). Great quality udon even without mixing anything else.

    Irregular shape - which tends to show that those were homemade. I peered into the kitchen and seemed to see a udon making machine.

     Indeed, that's what they mentioned on the wall. Homemade Shikoku Saniki udon with Japanese water with Japanese sea salt.

    Definitely one of the top three udon shops in Hong Kong. ！(◎_◎;)



    Bill:

    Sanuki Onsentamago Udon: $50
    Tororo Wasabi Udon: $52
    Ebi tempura: $10
    Chikuwa tempura: $9
    Sweet potato tempura: $9
    Shiso chicken fillet tempura: $10
    Plus service: $154!

    Conclusion:

    Excellent value for quality udon and tempura.
    Good service. Comfy.

    Highly recommended! (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))
