Chinese New Year and nothing is open except for chain restaurants in malls. So, what do we do? We go to Kowloon City and have Thai! Surprisingly, a number of places were open.昌發泰國粉麵屋 (English name: Cheong Fat Thai Food) serves Thai food but specialize in noodles. Boyfriend, his mother and I came here for dinner as they had been here before and thought it was pretty good.

昌發泰國粉麵屋 (English name: Cheong Fat Thai Food) serves Thai food but specialize in noodles. Boyfriend, his mother and I came here for dinner as they had been here before and thought it was pretty good. You'd think it was a small restaurant, but they have two shops and upstairs seating as well!
Menu is in English, Chinese and Thai. There is no 10% service charge and you order by writing down the dish number on a piece of paper and hand it to the staff. Payment is on your way out by uttering your table number.
Boat Noodles ($45). A hearty bowl of noodles. There is a choice of noodles and we chose rice noodles. They were thick and long! Smooth and chewy. The noodles soaked up the soup well. And the soup! Rich and fragrant.
Duck Meat Soup Noodles ($45). We also shared a bowl of duck meat soup noodles. The soup was a bit different than the boat noodles as it a had a more duck meat taste than opposed to the other one which had a beefier flavor. The pork blood was firm, yet jelly-like. The duck meat was shredded and moist.
Satay ($69). There were a total of five sticks and we chose one beef, two pork and two chicken. The meat was tender. The best was the beef as it was super juicy. It came with a rich satay sauce.
Fried Water Spinach with Shrimp Paste ($55). The water spinach was fresh and the amount of shrimp paste added wasn't a lot so it wasn't too salty. There were tiny little dried shrimp found throughout.
Ching Mai Style Minced Pork Salad ($69). This had a rating of three chili peppers but the staff said we could change it to nonspicy by writing on the order form. So, boyfriend wrote in Chinese .. nonspicy. But when it arrived, it was so spicy, none of us could eat it. I guess the chef was Thai and couldn't read Chinese? Should have written in English ... or maybe drew a picture of a chili pepper and crossed it out? Only boyfriend dared to try it and he said it literally burned and he felt his lips swell up. But while he was gasping for air, he said it tasted pretty good. I'm surprised he tasted anything? Even his mother, who could eat spicy, started to tear up and gasp for air as well when she tried it. I, not courageous enough to try, let them struggle for water. We didn't want to waste it, so they took it home to try and dilute out the spices somehow. I don't know how that went.
Food was quite good and portions were generous. The noodles were excellent and one of the best Thai style noodles I've had in Hong Kong. I love the noodles they used and the soup was hearty and rich. Service was ok and the place was clean enough. Would be back if I wanted a bowl of noodles.
