This noodle shop is located on Babington Path in Mid-Levels and has been in business for more than fifty years. A gem for the neighbourhood, it has served its signature beef brisket noodles for many generations. While the décor is certainly dated, with rundown walls, tiled floors, and the most basic foldable tables and chairs, there is a familiarity and vibe that brings back good memories, in the time when things were not easy, but people worked hard, and everyone had the sparkle in the eyes for

I ordered the Beef Brisket Noodle ($40) while my wife has the Beef Brisket and Tendon Noodle ($46). The beef brisket is braised perfectly with very soft texture, with the ground bean paste providing rich and amazing flavours. The soup is delicious and drinking them will not make one thirsty. The noodle also has a nice al dente mouthfeel. Perfect on all fronts, no wonder it draws so many rave reviews!
Seeing the tendon is very good too, I decide to test the capacity of my stomach and order another Beef Tendon with Squid Balls Rice Noodle ($46). The collagen of the tendon gives a luxurious easy bite, and I think the rice noodle is also a great match with the soup. The squid balls are decent, but compared with the beef brisket or tendon they are apparently less impressive.
Together with Milk Tea and Iced Lemon Tea, the bill is $170. Service is standard as you would expect from such noodle house, but I can sense a kindness here. We should do our best to protect and make sure such treasure in the neighborhood continues to stay, as I truly believe it is one of those things that makes Hong Kong such a great place.
