Noodle and Dog was originally in Central. Their concept was to make Hong Kong comfort food and push it to the limit. It was weird enough for me to bookmark but with so many strange foodie things to distract me every day, I never got around to going to try them.Recently, they opened a branch in Causeway Bay. Inside Hysan Place's own food court. As it was now closer to me, I thought ... why not? Time to give it a go.They offer hotdogs and noodles along with other snacks. Items are in English and C
Recently, they opened a branch in Causeway Bay. Inside Hysan Place's own food court. As it was now closer to me, I thought ... why not? Time to give it a go.
They offer hotdogs and noodles along with other snacks. Items are in English and Chinese.
They have combo sets for selected noodles and hotdogs that include a side dish and drink for $65 so I decided to order one of those.
This is the Noodle Dog. Yes. Why not go with the hot dog that this whole place is named after? What was it? It was a hot dog, topped with chow mein noodles that was further topped with fried whitebait. The hotdog also hand raw red onions and arugula. Everything was placed on top of a small metal loaf pan which to me was utterly useless other than to place this monster on a pedestal.The pros? The sausage was pretty good. It had that nice crunch when I bit into it. The poppy seed bun was delicious. The whitebait was crispy and had a bit of salt added to them. The cons? The noodle was cold. I don't know why they couldn't cook the noodles and had them all premade. I waited quite a while for them to cook my hot dog (or maybe they just took a long time to assemble my hotdog, I don't know). But cold noodles was not what I expected. It was also impossible to eat in one go. I ended up eating the noodles first (with whitebait flying every where) followed by the hotdog. As the hotdog had no sauce and only relied on the raw red onions, this made for one bland tasting hotdog.
The combo set came with a fruit salad. This was pretty good. The fruit was fresh. But I found it odd they added slices of cucumber in a fruit salad.
Combo set came with a choice of drink: monk fruit tea (aka luo han guo tea), roasted barley tea or soft drink. I decided on the monk fruit tea. This was ok. Tasted a bit more herbal than how I make it at home so I suspect they must have added something else to it? Or maybe I add something else to it? I don't know? It's supposedly really good for you. Like does everything good for you. You name it, it's probably there.
The hotdog was ok and it was a fun concept. However, after eating this, I wished for a regular hotdog and none of these strange things on it. Will return again and try something else.
