Chiu Yuen Chiu Chow Noodle     潮苑正宗潮州粉麵  

Tried their signature beef patty cakes, flat disc shapes of beef patty.

I thought the texture was going to be soft like the usual minced patties, but it was hard like minced chicken and gristle.
The beef taste wasn’t that strong, as for the noodles, they all taste the same, unless the broth is extra strong or tasteless, or the vermicelli is thinner or thicker.

As for the squid it was so soft!!

Apart from that, they had an English menu which was Brilliant especially for a noodle shop.

I went to this shop on the first day of my summer job.
Of course I found this noodle shop on openrice and found that it is quite famous for their beef cake.

I ordered beef cake with rice noodles and a plate of veggies.
Their food was served very quick but you do not have to rush to finish it like the other noodle shops.
However, the customers next to you just made you to do so.
Anyway, the bowl of noodle is hot and the beef cake is surprising tasty. The texture is very nice since they didnt put a lot of flour in order to stick the meat together like the others do.
There are several beef cakes in a bowl so it is quite enough indeed.

But the broth is too simple so eating the rice noodle alone is pretty boring.

Had to go to a stationery shop over lunch time and combed the streets for a lunch place. I remember going to a branch of this noodle shop in Causeway Bay many years ago. It was crowded, so I waited till nearly 2 pm to go.

I ordered beef cake and beef tripe thick noodles in soup (without spring onions) and a choi sum. I also ordered an iced lemon tea knowing that these restaurants use a lot of MSG.

The noodles arrived very hot and the soup was cloudy with a strong smell of meat. The beef cakes were as I remembered, a nice texture and doesn't really taste much of beef. The tripe was OK and without the honeycomb surface that nice tripe has.

The vegetables were overcooked and a bit yellow. After a while, some of the oil seem to have solidified and that wasn't very appetising.

Ice lemon tea (with less sugar) was very good and just what is needed for a meal like this.

wah! i like the handmade fishball so much. Even when i hv hotpot at home, my mom will come and buy fishball coz they're all homemade. on the other hand, i just eat 'white color fishball' but no those in golden color.

Lunch on last Saturday, my friends highly recommend the fish balls and beef, but disapointed ar, I won't go again.
