好到底麵家 (English name: Ho To Tai Noodle Shop) is a 70 year old noodle shop in Yuen Long that is completely family run. You may not think much of it, but this shop was awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand from the people at Michelin. A noodle shop that isn't located in the usual tourist places. Yuen Long is pretty far and it makes you wonder ... with so many noodle shops in Hong Kong, why was this one selected?Ho To Tai makes all their noodles by hand. No, it's not using the bamboo method but all ingred
Ho To Tai makes all their noodles by hand. No, it's not using the bamboo method but all ingredients are fresh ingredients. There is no coloring added and whole fresh eggs are used. The Yuen Long branch is the only one that serves hot food. There are other branches around Hong Kong but they only sell the uncooked noodles. You can purchase these here as well.
We arrived at 8 PM and it was pretty packed but there was enough space of boyfriend and I. The shop is pretty cramped and there is upstairs seating. It's very old and typical of many noodle shops in Hong Kong. But for one that received a Bib Gourmand, it didn't bother to renovate like so many others. Service was actually quite good as originally we were placed in a small cramped spot. But one of the staff noticed we were squashed in and took us to a more spacious spot when it was available.
The menu on the table is in Chinese. They do have an English menu. Just ask for it. There is no 10% service charge and you pay on you way out. But what they are known for is the noodles.
Boyfriend ordered the shrimp roe tossed noodles ($56). It came with a bowl of soup. The noodles were springy and firm. The shrimp roe was not too salty and there was a good amount tossed in. The soup was savory with nice light fish taste.
I had had the fish skin dumpling noodles ($37). You get three dumplings that are made of fish skin and stuffed with jews ear, pork and shrimp meat. These were probably one of the best fish skin dumplings I've had in Hong Kong. The skin was not doughy or too thick. Thin enough with a nice firm bite. The crunch of the jews ear gave it extra texture. The filling was savory but not salty.
The noodles were great. Al dente. The color was a light brown but not completely white like other places. A sign that fresh eggs were used. The only thing that wasn't good was the soup. It was a bit cloudy and was just salty and not much else. Boyfriend's soup tasted better. Made me wonder if it was near closing that there wasn't enough soup so they had to dilute it?
It's pretty far from where I live but this is definitely worth the find. Cheap yet delicious. Service was fairly good as well. I'd be back or at least buy a package of noodles home.
