Happy Valley doesn't have any cart noodle shop. But then Happy V Food opened and business was buzzing. A small take away shop that took over the Pestle & Mortar location. They do have a few seats but it's mostly for take away. And that is fine for the residents that live here. So, on a cold evening, boyfriend and I decided to try out their cart noodle.The place is small and it appears they didn't renovate at all from the previous owner. Menu is in English and Chinese.

The place is small and it appears they didn't renovate at all from the previous owner. Menu is in English and Chinese. There is no 10% service charge. You order by checking off a paper menu. They also stress they do not use any MSG.
They had a menu that featured lo shui or Chinese marinaded items. They even had an article explaining what was lo shui. I guess that was the thing to get!
Three toppings cost $49. You get a choice of noodle and additional sauce for the soup base.
Boyfriend added satay sauce. For his three items he chose beef tripe, brisket and kaniko ball with a yellow noodle. There was also some lettuce added. The noodle was just cooked so it was still chewy. The sauce didn't have much satay flavor. The kaniko balls were great with a bit of savory roe inside. The brisket and tripe were soft and tender.
I added the lo shui sauce. My three items were all lo shui items: tofu, chicken wings and tendon with a rice vermicelli. Lettuce was also provided. The sauce was not too salty which I guess is a good thing. The tofu was firm and not too salty. The tendon was soft. The chicken wing wasn't marinaded enough. For lo shui items, I've had much better elsewhere as it wasn't as deep and rich in flavor.
Overall, prices are reasonable for what you get. Food tasted ok. But then there are no other choices around here for cart noodle. I guess I'd be back as I live close by so if I want take away, it's an option.
