This restaurant has been around for a while, but it dosnt look tempting to go in, the outside isnt appealing to me, especially the type of dishes they do, I assumed they were the ordinary chinese noodles.Before you go in, there is a manager pacing back and forth at the entrance smilng to himself I think, and not many customers inside, so i assumed the food probably isnt that good.Anyway I decided to go in without expectations, I was attracted because they had purple rice noodles.

Before you go in, there is a manager pacing back and forth at the entrance smilng to himself I think, and not many customers inside, so i assumed the food probably isnt that good.
Anyway I decided to go in without expectations, I was attracted because they had purple rice noodles.
On my way to be seated I noticed some bottled rice drinks at the counter that are sold at QQ Rice, so I suspected they had some partnership with QQ Rice, especially since they offer purple rice noodles.
After checking them out on the web, I found that they had a website:
http://www.pekingnoodles.com.hk
and QQ Rice (http://www.qqrice.com.hk/address28.php) is one of their subsidaries, and the other two are
1- slim noodles http://www.slimtaste.com.hk
http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/sr2.htm?shopid=23359
unfortunately this has now gone out of business
2- 39 degrees bakery http://www.39cbakery.com/
All their websites are pretty cool and has English as well! So well done!!
The sofa seats were worn off and flakey, so I had the impression that they had great customer flow, so it changed my expectations, I was now beginning to think the food would taste better than expected if there was such a big turnover in customers.
The dinner set ranged from $58 - $62, it consists of a choice of starter, noodles, drink and a dessert.
For the starters there is a choice of chicken in sesame sauce and mung bean sheet noodles, black fungas and burdock, and preserved egg and peppers.
The dessert was sweet potato sprinkled with coconut.
As for the drinks it was honey with green tea, peach tea or milk tea..
For all the noodles there was a choice of handmade ramen, purple rice noodles and the normal noodles.
In the end picked the preserved egg and mung bean sheet noodles as starters, then purple rice noodles with spring onion and noodles in pork broth and pork chops.
The dessert was the first to arrive, it was pieces of sweet potato slightly glazed with coconut sprinkled on top.
I have never tried this before, so I didnt know what to expect, but it was quite nice.
The sweet potato was quite firm and sweet due to the flavouring, and the coconut shreds
Drink was a bit too sweet, so I diluted it with the water provided.
For extra desserts I ordered black sugar mochi for $8, there were six pieces, other flavours were taro, green tea, and grapefruit.
Preserved egg with peppers
This tasted how it should, and the sauce beneath the preserved eggs made it more appetizing, although the sauce was fiery and made of chili, the cucumber shreds made it quite refreshing.
Sesame chicken and mung bean sheets
The noodles were covered in lots of rich thick sesame sauce and sprinkled with lots of sesame seeds.
I didnt really like the chicken as it wasnt that fresh, but the mung bean sheets were lovely.
Pork chop with spring onion and noodles
The soup base was very strong, hence the noodles were fully flavoured.
Noodles with spring onions
Although this was the cheapest set, it tasted the best, for the choice of noodles I chose the purple rice noodles, but they were not that purple when served.
The purple rice noodles before being cooked were reddish brown, hence they dont look purple after the sauce was mixed added.
The noodles tasted very nice with the dried shrimps and crunchy spring onions.
Sweet potato topped with coconut
This dessert tasted like candied sweet potato rather than fresh sweet potato, it was slightly hard, but tasted ok, slightly too sweet.
black sugar mochi
This was ordered as an extra for $8, but it would have been great if you could choose a combination of two flavours rather than one flavour.
It was very chewy but tasted ok.
drinks
Ordered honey green tea and peach tea, the honey one was very strong in jasmine and honey.
The peach tea was slightly lighter but had a fake taste.
In addition to that, they have a kid's set which looks really cute on the menu, and a marshmallow chocolate drink too!!!
Pity I forget to take a picture of it.
