Dirty Noodles at Wing Kee

This noodle place is really small and cramped. But it is also very popular. There is always a long line of people waiting outside. The tables are so small it is impossible to imagine how it can seat 5 people, at times all strangers from each other. But people couldn't care less - everyone here comes for the noodles.

I had yau min (our very own miki) with ngau lam (beef brisket), loh pa (radish) and tung kuh (mushroom).







Z had yau min as well but with ngau lam, fan cheong (pork intestine) and yau yue sow (octopus tentacles) which she happily shared with me. The intestine and the tentacles are surprisingly tender - not at all rubbery.




See how bright the bowls are? Like most eating places of this kind in Hong Kong, the utensils are color-coded. In this case, the orange bowl tells the waiting staff we had noodles with 3 dishes on it. Say you order noodles with 2 dishes, they will serve it on a bowl of another color. So just by looking at the bowl, the waiting staff knows how much is your bill.

It may not look appetizing but this is by far the best lah tsah min I had in Hong Kong...and it’s cheap!
