甜豉油豬油撈麵!
幼麵十分有嚼勁;
雲吞皮薄餡味鮮;
企理但極有排檔風味。
值得一試。
Super springy egg noodles mixed with sweet soy sauce and lard;
Fresh and flavourable wonton with pork and prawns;
Located at an interesting cul de sac in Sham Shui Po with other dai pai dongs.
Old school, worth a try!
Dai pai dong cul de sac:
耀東街的舊樓群中原來有多間排檔, 很有風味! 晚上應很熱鬧。長發在相中紅色簷蓬右邊。

After completing a project at Kowloon City, I decided to treat myself to a bowl of noodles. I've read from other reviewers that this seemed to be a good noodle shop which still uses lard in their lo mien. Since it's unlikely that my wife would like to try lard, I decided to try this alone.
People always talk about how hard it is to find dai pai dongs now. The remaining few at Central now seemed to be the only remnants of an age bygone. To my pleasant surprise, this whole street at Sham Shui Po was lined with pre-war buidlings and filled with a number of pai dongs!
Decor:Not much to be said in this department, just a few tables placed on the road.
環境比想像中乾淨企理。地面乾爽, 一點垃圾都沒有。比中環大牌檔還要整潔。

四五張大圓檯擺在排檔後。有蓋遮頭, 通風良好。環境沒大問題。

Not as stuffy or messy as I had expected. All the cooking was done at the open stall. There was also a huge wok placed above a stove on the floor filled with boiling water which I believe should be for the noodles. (Be careful if you have kids with you!)
The floor was completely dry (not easy to achieve for most restaurants in Hong Kong) and the tables were clean and tidy. Four round tables for 4-5 persons. Not crowded at all.
Menu:
唯一的中文餐牌掛在牆上。有自製魚蛋, 雲吞, 墨魚丸, 牛腩, 豬手等供應。單拼由37元起。

The only menu in Chinese was the one hanging on the wall. They do egg noodles and ho fan (with or without broth) and a wide variety of toppings such as wonton , homemade fish balls, squid balls, cow tripes, tendons, porks knuckle...etc.
I ordered
egg noodles with soy sauce plus a bowl of wonton.
蛋味不甚突出但比永華等店更有嚼勁。雖覺得甜豉油及豬油撈飯更香但這亦挺惹味, 亦能令麵條滑溜。

The
noodles were very springy, definitely springier than Mak Un, Wing Wah or Chi Kei. However, the egg taste was not as pronounced as Mak Un or Wong Chi Kee most likely because of the sweet soy sauce and lard added to the noodles.
The
sweet soy sauce and lard really made a difference. The idea is similar to sweet soy sauce and lard mixed with rice, only the springy noodles rendered the whole experience quite different from rice. To be honest, I prefer lard on rice than on noodles, as the residue heat from the rice seems to me better at bringing out the aroma of the lard and soy sauce. I think more spring onions (and/or some shredded ginger) will give more complexity to the taste. However, these condiments made the noodles very smooth. I finished it in no time.
The
broth that came with it was very refreshing. The flounder taste was very pronounced yet not too salty like most wonton noodle shops e.g. Wong Chi Kei. I enjoyed the fresh spring onions with the broth.
跟麵的上湯大地魚味濃郁但不過咸,亦有很香的荵味和麥奀的差不多。用來送麵一流。

The
wontons were very fresh. The broth that came with it had an extra pork overtone, which might came from the pork in the wontons and indicated it's freshness. Indeed, both the pork and the prawn (half/half) used inside each wonton were very fresh. The wonton skin was very smooth.
雲吞湯除大地魚味外亦有豬肉鮮味! 應從雲吞的豬肉來的;皮薄蝦亦鮮甜。很有興趣試自製魚蛋。會再來!

Service was actually not bad at all. The old lady and the man were polite and said thanks to every customer, which is already much better than many Hong Kongers nowadays.
Conclusion:The bill came down to HK$52, not as cheap as I had initially expected it to be but still very reasonable.
All in all, very interesting sweet soy sauce and lard lo mien.
Good wontons.
Very interesting pai dong style.
Worth a try!

〔重覆發了的食評。不好意思!)
，自從旁邊加咗間鋪，有冷氣，可以食得仲舒服，去到唔使等位，舖內雖然零裝修，普通摺枱膠櫈，幸好地方尚算光猛乾凈，餐具亦唔會黏，樓面有一個阿姐，廚房有個師傅淥麵，一個阿嬸執枱，我叫咗： 
」 這晚來這裡，就是為了吃那一碗秘製豉油（加豬油）撈麵 ($25)。 一人份的淺黃色幼長麵條，灑上濃稠的深色豉油，還有傳說中的豬油，光聞到那香味已教人流口水。秘製豉油的鹽糖比例調得剛好，鹹度適中之餘帶點甜，濃郁鮮美，跟爽口的幼麵真是最佳配搭。 簡單一個醬油撈麵也能如此美味，大排檔還真的是個臥虎藏龍的地方呢。
