As I am quite a fan of HK-style traditional food no matter how rare or uncommon, I would also love to try them all! And this time, I chose a very HK style noodle which is called cart noodle, for those who don’t know what cart noodle is, here is the reference from Wiki: “Cart noodle is a noodle dish which became popular in Hong Kong and Macau in the 1950s throughindependent street vendors operating on roadsides and in public housing estates in low-income districts, using carts.

“Cart noodle is a noodle dish which became popular in Hong Kong and Macau in the 1950s through
independent street vendors operating on roadsides and in public housing estates in low-income districts, using carts. Many street vendors have vanished but the name and style of noodle endures as a cultural icon”
Kwok Chai Kee, which started its business since 1994 and it's been 27 years, the shop is full of customers even though it was about 3:00 p.m. I went with a friend who lives in Tai Po and he is also a fan of cart noodles, we were a bit hungry as we arrived, simply took a few pictures and then comes with the interesting part: tick the kinds of noodles and dishes that you may like to have on the order list, also the kind of sauce which includes curry, satay or abalone sauce.
This time, I ordered a bowl of rice vermicelli, chose with ‘pig red’ which is pig blood, pig tender bone, and braised beef tendons with curry sauce in medium spice level. A cup of iced milk tea was also chosen afterward as the medium curry sauce is chosen, all the selected dishes go very well with the rice vermicelli and curry sauce, ‘pig red’ is a bit chewy and better as it is not so fishy as I expected. The braised beef tendons are tender and editable.
My friend ordered a bowl of noodles and almost the same selected items as I did, but chicken wings instead of ‘pig red’ which he said they were quite good either, the tenderness of noodles is remarkably well done.
