We were at Yuen Long one weekend decided to eat around before leaving for another place. And our first stop? Victory Beef Ball.
Beef ball w/ noodles – the beef balls were really spongy and nicely flavoured, not too oilish however. There were spores in the meat, and it basically bounced back as you bit into it. It was good but they could not be compared with those I tried in Chewchow back then, which might contain more fat and oil but was much, much more spongy and meaty. This was okay as in HK’s standard.
半筋半腩麵- the soup was more intensely flavoured than the broth used in beefball noodles. Whilst the beef flank were just mediore in both texture and flavour – they were not tender enough, and i did not like the detectable taste of ’5 spices’(五香) in the meat, which was too strong – the loin with a soapy texture and a more ‘distilled’ flavour was much better. They were not exactly chewy but sorta stuck onto your teeth as you bit into each segment of them, and they were good, not as salty and heavily spiced as the beef flank. I should have ordered noodles with just the loin instead of having them 50/50.
淨丸 [~$18]: 淨食價錢較粉麵便宜，一碗八粒的牛丸外，沒有芽菜娃娃菜等作配襯，從小時候開始就好喜歡用牙籤吃淨牛丸，現在吃得辣，就加點辣椒油，但始終最喜歡以烚牛丸的清湯作伴，勝利的牛丸較為細，所以吃罷一碗粉麵再加三數粒牛丸也能應付自如，身旁的大比也已經在盤算一會吃甚麼好。
