On a day when I craved pasta I went to Sheung Wan to try and find a specific pasta joint. When I arrived on the street I sound the shop closed for the renovation. Without a backup plan I wondered towards central to see what else I could find and the first place which had something appetising was Noodlemi. The menu had a couple of vegetarian options and there was seating space so I went in. The atmosphere inside was somehow very Hong Kong. Uncomfortable in an impersonal way, high seats and angled
The atmosphere inside was somehow very Hong Kong. Uncomfortable in an impersonal way, high seats and angled mirrors on the walls which simultaneously gave you the impression of extra space and the feeling of being slightly inebriated, and waiters who seemed less than thrilled to be at work, but weirdly this kind of hostile environment seems almost welcoming for a solo dinner so whatever.
I ordered the rice vermicelli (apparently a 'healthy choice'), with sautéed vegetables and tofu. The turn around time was super quick, I think my meal was with me in under three minutes. The smells coming from the food were so enticing, deep and savoury so I tucked in quickly.

There were some interesting flavours, almost satsuma-like notes in the sauce, earthy vegetables and the noodles had a really satisfying feel. The viscous, at times jelly-like consistency of the sauce was alarming at first but enjoyable once I'd acclimatised to it. I'm not a connoisseur of Vietnamese food so I can't really compare this to base level but this was a nice warming and filling my dish on a cold night. the only negative note was the (in my opinion), excessive use of parsley, I'm not a parsley hater by any means but I don't need that much.
