Isn't it a miracle that 美味廚 (Delicious Kitchen) has survived on a street when many others have failed, and they've been selling exactly the same food for so many years ! It was probably there even before I was born! Anyway its always good to revisit something you've been eating since a rebellious kid and dearly miss. Can the food still stand up against the up and coming competitions? Has my palate evolved over the years or the food quality become worse or better? I was too keen to rev
I was too keen to revisit here and rather than postulating about things in my head, hopefully can settle my lingering doubts once and for all !
*******************
DAN DAN MEIN NOODLES -
For some unknown reason, a lot of the Shanghainese or Hong Kong-nised 担担麵 use a lot of Peanut based 'soup', rather than having a less watery, thicker Sesame paste for mixing with the noodles. Here, it suffers the same problem much like its branched out sibbling 順豐排骨麵(天后), as the soup is more Peanutty than Sesame like. In fact I've checked with the owners of both shops to confirm yes they use a 芝麻花生醬, but in 順豐排骨麵 the lady said they use mostly peanut sauce. (http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/sr2.htm?shopid=40507)
Anyway if you like a peanutty soup, this one is better than 順豐's version, and it has slightly more sesame paste taste. The noodles are cooked well. There's no meat however, you get a stack of chopped up pickles, peanuts and dried shrimps on top, which is pretty good. 3.5/5
PORK CHOP -
This one I got on this occasion was quite thick, whereas on other days its much thinner. It has a sugary and gingery coating, in fact it was too gingery and spoiled the overall balance. The pork was tasteless, oily. Some pieces were too artificially softened, but other parts took some teeth tearing action. I didn't think 順豐's was very good either, but if I have to choose, I would pick that over 美味廚's version. 3/5
SOY MILK -
Pretty good. Sweet, has some soy taste, it hasn't been exactly fine filtered either so you get a gritty mouthfeel as you drink it. 4/5

OVERALL, AN EDIBLE SHOP BUT NO LONGER AN CLASS ACT, CONSIDERING IT HAD ONCE OCCUPIED A TOP SPOT INSIDE MY HEAD FOR THIS TYPE OF FOOD. I STILL THINK THEY MAKE ONE OF THE BETTER VEGGIES RICE (菜飯) THOUGH?
Disclaimer : I am just trying to have a bit of celebratory fun here to coincide with the Miss HK Pageant Contest, so I hope no one will label me as sexist or something with my Headline subject !
