因為'添好運點心'呢排好像變差了, 咁priority當然又換變嚟 'VERO' 食腸粉. 當然... 知道佢叫'堂記'la, 但地址真係好似九龍版Vero咁'偏劈'. 激死. 仲要上次來到. 先記得星期三唔開的, 白做exercise 添! Ordered 4 types Rice Paper Roll (or Vermicelli Roll) and 1 congee:蝦米蝦腸 - This was a rip-off in a way. In each 1 out of 3 rolls, there was only 1 prawn each at the 'tail end', plus some rehydrated 蝦米. To tell you the truth, I only ate 1 prawn from 1.5 shared rolls - and I can't even remember nor review the prawn taste! However, I thought it was definitely above-average.

Ordered 4 types Rice Paper Roll (or Vermicelli Roll) and 1 congee:
蝦米蝦腸 - This was a rip-off in a way. In each 1 out of 3 rolls, there was only 1 prawn each at the 'tail end', plus some rehydrated 蝦米. To tell you the truth, I only ate 1 prawn from 1.5 shared rolls - and I can't even remember nor review the prawn taste! However, I thought it was definitely above-average. Roughly 7/10.
叉燒燒鴨腸 - This was quite good I suppose. In the sections that had 叉燒, it over-powered the 燒鴨, since the Char Siu had quite a strong 'smoky taste', this wasn't expected but at least it shows they did extra work to improve the experience for the customer. The 燒鴨, when eaten with only the 腸粉, was also great as expected, due to Duck's gamey taste from both meat and skin. I would probably recommend not to order this particular combination like I did, as they're probably better off as separate! 7.5/10.
豬潤腸 - On the 1st bite, I thought the 豬潤 taste was more natural, slightly more smelly and perceivably fresher than the ones in 添好運點心, I liked it here better initially on that 1st impression... However upon eating more of this 豬潤腸 I found that the 豬潤 texture was slightly over-cooked in some slices, plus it wasn't as sophisticated in taste and crunchiness as 添好運's. I guess some people would prefer the version here. For me - I don't mind both, so I rate them equal. The DIFFERENCE? Obviously, the 腸粉 part. To be explained below. 8.0/10.
鴨腎菜乾豬骨粥 - This had a lot of the pork bones and dried pickled vegetables, with very little 鴨腎. In reality, this Congee was slightly too 'sour' and salty from the 菜乾, and the 豬骨 taste wasn't too apparent. The Congee was deliberately aiming to be made well I think, because naturally it had the 綿綿地 potential without artificial add-ons and the rice was cooked to be slightly 爆花 like. In this respect, it was better than Congee from 添好運. However, due to the 菜乾 & 豬骨's released moisture, it made the Congee a bit thinned out again as the end result. Also the flavours tasted a bit unbalanced and strange, and not enough Pork Bones depth taste. Personally I don't like it, but I think it deserves some credit for the effort especially when this particular Congee is difficult to made well. 6 to 7/10.
炸兩 - The 油炸鬼 part was quite crunchy but hard. I suspect that the 油條 was re-fried too much, to keep its crunchiness. I thought this was bearly ok - although their 甜醬 seemd home made somewhat. It kind of tasted like in between 酸莓醬 and commercial 甜醬 somewhat - I initially wasn't sure if I should use this with 炸兩 or the 燒鴨腸 haha! But I think it was good in a special way. 炸兩 = 4.5/10.
I think overall, the 腸粉 exterior here is a bit thick despite being quite smooth for this size. It wasn't translucent like the ones at 添好運, also, the rice taste was much weaker here by far despite being thicker. It was slightly elastic however, which was a great texture in a way. I guess I liked the fact that this was 即拉 and was of a high standard.
However, so far, the best 腸粉 I've had seemed to be at 添好運 and actually 美心皇宮's extra long 腸粉 is really good too, then obviously here, Fook Lam Moon and Lung King Heen - obviously haven't tried all of them in Hong Kong yet to judge accurately. But 添好運 seemed like the clear winner to me, except for its presentation, which is all over the place! but that's because its too thin for rolling, its called 'Compromise'!
However, I love 腸粉 and if anyone has other recommendations, feel free to share with me so I can eat good food! Thanks
Very High '3' to low '4'. Overall I liked this shop's ethical approach and respect of food! Not dissimilar to how I felt about VERO, strangely enough Whether they've mastered the 'cooking', is subject to debate. But its much better than most shops, that's for certain!
