I popped in here on a bit of a whim on a friday night and was so pleased with what I ate, that I have talked about it a number of times since.
I was looking around for something to eat in this part of Mongkok. The problem was, I had places on my 'to try' list and there are so many options there. Well, this place (Fragrant Garden) was on my radar, but the picture of the bowl of noodles on the window just sucked me in tothe door.
I ended up gesturing to the picture enthusiastically and opting for medium spicy. Although this restaurant is a Yunnan place, the dish I ordered was hot spicy and sour sweet potato noodles in Guizhou style. While the server didn't speak English, she was very helpful and tried her best to help this (useless) Englishman.
I waited longer than many of the other customers, as they were all eating other dishes. Mine, clearly, took a little more work. Well, after a short wait (I didn't mind at all), a huge bowl came out to me. In it was a pile of thick, soft glass noodles, greens, roast pork, minced pork and bean sprouts. These plentiful elements were engulfed in an amazingly tangy and delicious broth.
The pork was cooked and seasoned wondefully and the the minced pork added a rich substance to the light broth. The green onions and (unknown to me) greens added a freshness and element of nature to the party. The beansprouts gave some crunch that counter-balanced the soft give of the glass-like sweet potato noodles. The hero of the whole dish was the broth. It was fabulous. It is actually haunting my dreams. It was a little spicy, sour and tangy with a nice sweetness under it all. I was blown away.
Having lived in many parts of Southeast Asia, I have come to appreciate the complexity of a great bowl of noodles in broth. If done well, it is heavenly. This dish will stay with me a long time. I am currently plotting to get my wife there ASAP. The dish was vast - more than I would normally eat, but I finished every last drop. That, when all is said and done, speaks louder than words ever could.
米線是我至愛之一 平靚正 特別是涼拌 惹味非常
還是首次吃貴香園的筆者對她抱有期望~
門舖前有一大型餐牌供顧客選擇，當中共有8款口味包括 1.川味紅薯粉、2. 酸麻辣紅薯粉、3.雲南小鍋酸辣米線、4.麻辣米線、5. 涼拌米線、6. 熱拌紅薯粉等，望著它心大心細，倒要花時間思考一會才有定案。
川味紅薯粉內裡已預有肉碎、芽菜、酸菜、韭菜、芫茜和蔥花
筆者額外加了配料山筋、魚蛋和豬潤
4元三粒爆裂魚蛋，看著它們，我心中不禁在想到底魚蛋們是經過什麼處理手法才會達成如此趣緻形態? 欠缺彈性與魚味，紅薯粉份量很足，煙煙韌韌兼滑溜溜的，索湯汁一流。
一碗紅薯粉份量頗驚人
紅薯粉份量十足，而且每次都非常熱，要慢慢食。。本身已配有芽菜、酸菜、韮菜同炸醬等嘅配料。湯底非常惹味，酸辣度配搭得宜，好有刺激感。缺點係湯較油；辣度同濃度每次會有些少參差，但差別可以接受。
紅薯粉軟滑又煙韌，配上爽口芽菜，份外滋味。配料份量亦足。豬扒雞翼炸得香口又入味；大腸淋而不膩，好似冇肥膏咁。比起其他連鎖店更好食，值得推介。咁大碗粉只係$43，確係抵。
呢度環境尚算OK，但服務真係唔好要求咁多。嚟呢度志在享受一碗美味薯粉，食完就走。嗜食酸辣粉嘅我，絕對認為呢度係最合我口味嘅一間
though its a convience place to me, it's my first time here which I know this shop over years in the district. so I pick up something who I ate in other district few years ago
after a polite smile of the cashier-lady, I make up my mind to have a bowl of red-potato-noodle with pig-intestine in mild spicy sour-soup, cucumber with garlic snack & a cup of tea with milk,
within less than half an hour, customer in & out regularly, seems never aware of the power of typhoon though the wind become stronger & stronger~
tea is quite strong basic with a little bit bitterness, the cucumber dish is not small, taste just right with lot of garlic & sesame oil cost $13 only
highly recommended the pig-intestine which is taste good & tender without unacceptable smell
nevertheless, the veg. noodle without soup with extra black-jelly ear taste natural & healthy
who say typhoon cannot go out for night-walk especially restaurants everywhere here
2. 豬大腸腩肉酸麻辣紅薯粉
3. 凍檸蜜
## 想提出一下, d 碗好醜怪.... 有湯都還可以
這裡的其中一個賣點，就是選擇多，由薯粉到米線到米粉，再由川味，到酸麻辣，到雲南，甚至沙爹湯都有
這次，點了一個川味薯粉，餸只點了豬潤和生菜，點了中小辣。
先試一口湯底，辣味不算強烈，湯底略甜，但幸好味精不算太多，只是沒有譚仔的湯底做得好
