This little eatery is famous for its rice noodle, it locates in an old district of Kowloon with a lot of old style businesses around. When I arrived yesterday afternoon, a dozen of customers were already there.I sat down by the side of the wall, a waitress in red tee served me, I tried to ask her the things on the menu, and her attitude and response gave me the impression that I should have known all that and so should not ask her anymore! Finally I ordered a rice noodle with a sort cured meat (
I sat down by the side of the wall, a waitress in red tee served me, I tried to ask her the things on the menu, and her attitude and response gave me the impression that I should have known all that and so should not ask her anymore! Finally I ordered a rice noodle with a sort cured meat (five pieces) in satay soup base, a dish of deep fried fish cakes, and a bottle of cold LuoHanGuo drink.
The items nearly all arrived at the same time, there were some shredded vegetable and wood ear fungus on top of the noodle, the noodle were in a quantity enough for two, but it was tastless without even a tiny bit of rice fragrance no matter how long you put it inside your mouth and chewed it, worse still, the texture is the most peculiar that I have ever experienced of edible stuffs, it was larger in diameter than ordinary rice noodle, very velvet in texture, and got a spongy and elastic feeling in your mouth when chewed, in a nutshell, it was the sort of feeling of putting some synthetic building material in your mouth, eerie! The satay soup was a thrifty amount of satay diluted in water, scare you away even you are very hungry. The five pieces of cured meat tasted no better than a $10 per packet chicked frank from cold meat shop.
The fish cakes were deep fried savoury food made of fish mousse, albeit without much taste of fish that day, the two pieces in triangular shape were the worst. The LuoHanGuo drink stood out as the star of that afternoon, very refreshing with intense taste of the chinese medicinal fruit!
