Wing Lai Yuen Sze Chuen Noodles Restaurant

Wing Lai Yuen Sze Chuen Noodles Restaurant (詠藜園四川菜館)
Whampoa Gardens, Hong Kong.
Dandan Noodles, and Hot-and-sour noodles. Both noodles were a bit too
overcooked and soft for my taste. The dandan soup base was too watery
and lacked flavors. The hot-and-sour soup base almost tasted like it
came from a mixture of canned broth and packed spices. The standards
were high back then (about a decade or so ago), but it isn't what it
used to be.

King's Garden Restaurant

King's Garden Restaurant (東來居火鍋料理)
Wanchai, Hong Kong.



A superlative evening of hot pot with top-grade beef (特上牛皇), shrimp
balls (蝦丸), wonton (雲吞), fish-skin dumplings (魚皮餃). The clear soup
base, with plenty of mushrooms and herbs, was first rate.

Pho Tai

Pho Tai
Sheung Wan, Hong Kong.
Xe Lua. Excellent soup base with a tinge of sweetness. Various cuts of
beef were braised to textural perfection yet still retaining plenty of
flavors. The noodles were ok but a tad coarse to the palate.

5 portions of tonkatsu, enough to feed an army (of me!)
