根久川味麵點 Gen Jiu Chuan Noodle Shop @Taipei, Taiwan

Posted on 11 September 2023 by lendeliz

This place was very clean, and seemed like a popular local lunch joint. The noodles (紅燒牛肉麵 Stewed Beef Noodle，牛肉乾拌麵 Dry Beef Noodle) were more to our liking. The beef was also quite good.

The mild heat of the 红油抄手 Spicy Wonton was from pepper rather than the red chili oil that we were used to. The 小菜 干条 was yummy! Texture was a little like noodles and was mixed generously with sesame oil. 猪耳朵 Pig’s Ears was also not bad. Overall a satisfying meal!

半島牛肉麵 Bandao Beef Noodle Restaurant @Taipei, Taiwan

Posted on 9 September 2023 by lendeliz

Beef noodles was another highlight of this trip. This place claimed to be the best beef noodles in Taipei. The meat was really very good, and the beef slices were generously thick. The noodles were of the thick and chewy texture, which we found it a bit too hard for our liking.

The 韭菜饺子 was really awesome! So full of ingredients, and the chives here were really much more fragrant than the ones we have back home. Ms K single-handedly wiped out the 小菜 cucumbers 凉拌瓜. We spent a total of NT580 here.

九記牛腩 Kau Kee Food Cafe @Central, Hong Kong

Posted on 21 April 2023 by lendeliz

A small outlet with long queues usually, we decided that we had to try once for ourselves after so many trips to Hong Kong.

We arrived just before 2pm, and thankfully, we only had to queue for about 10 minutes, while admiring the number of Teslas on Hong Kong streets.

The sitting arrangements were really tight, and we were sharing the table with 2 other groups, so this was really a quick-eat-and-go kind of place.

There was a minimum order of HKD65 per head, and we shared a Curry Beef Tendon with E-fu Noodles (HKD70) and Beef Brisket with Rice Noodles (HKD65), plus a Iced Milk Tea (HKD26). We thought the noodles were pretty good, despite reviews saying that standards had dropped. Maybe because this was our first time eating at this stall…

丽丰茶餐室 Kedai Kopi Lai Foong @Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Posted on 21 December 2019 by lendeliz

We reached Kuala Lumpur (KL) slightly before 11am. We parked at Market Central and walked to 丽丰茶餐室 Kedai Kopi Lai Foong and found the place already quite packed!

We tried the 丽丰牛肉面 Lai Foong Beef Noodles (RM10) and 丽丰啦啦米粉 Lai Foong Lala Noodles (RM11). The beef noodles was pretty good! The soup was flavourful and there was a good variety of meats. However, it paled in comparison to the lala beehoon soup. The strong flavours of rice wine, ginger in the seafood broth was very heartwarming!

Restoran Kuang Fei & Tong Kee Bak Kut Teh @Tangkak, Johor, Malaysia

Posted on 19 December 2019 by lendeliz

Our next stop was Tangkak as Dr K wanted to buy some tau sar piah. Conveniently along the same street, there were 2 eateries that looked very popular.

Our first lunch stop was Restoran Kuang Fei, famous for Tangkak beef noodles. We shared the Beef Noodles (RM8 for small, RM9 for big, RM12 for additional ingredients). The small portion was quite little, but the soup was awesome! While the beef was not very tender, we thought it was flavourful with a good bite.

海安咖啡室 Hoi On Cafe @Sheung Wan, Hong Kong

Posted on 12 December 2016 by lendeliz

2016-12-12 10.01.35Near our hotel was the old-school 海安咖啡室 Hoi On Cafe which we noticed when we were on Ding Ding.

Established since 60 years ago, the name of the cafe was meant as well-wishes to the sailors, as the cafe was located near the pier. Nowadays, this place seem to be quite popular with tourists.

The staff understood Mandarin well enough, and were extremely patient and kind, e.g. there was a group who wanted to change tables after their orders had arrived, and the staff helped them to shift the food without complaints; they gave us water when they saw that we were about to take our medications with coffee / tea, which was much appreciated!

翠華餐廳 Tsui Wah Restaurant @Central, Hong Kong

Posted on 11 December 2016 by lendeliz

2016-12-11 08.33.18

There were not many breakfast options near our hotel on a Sunday morning, so we decided to try the chain restaurant 翠華 Tsui Wah at Central before taking the bus at Exchange Square for our hike on Wilson Trail.

There were plenty of seats available, and we decided to share a 冰鎮菠蘿油配奶茶 Pineapple Bun with Iced Butter served with Milk Tea (HK$28), and a set with 沙爹牛肉即食麵 , 嫩滑炒蛋，牛油豬仔 配咖啡 Satay Beef Instant Noodles in Soup, Scrambled Eggs and Buttered Crispy Bun with Coffee (HK$36).

Taste-wise, you cannot really go wrong with instant noodles in Hong Kong 😀 The beef was also quite tender.

They forgot our pineapple bun, and we had to chase a couple of times. Served warm, it was not bad at all.

​Day trip to 長洲 Cheung Chau, Hong Kong

Posted on 9 December 2016 by lendeliz

2016-12-09 08.41.56We had a great time at 南丫島 Lamma Island previously, and this time, we decided to check out 長洲 Cheung Chau.

There was also an ongoing discount for ferry tickets till end of 2016, so it was an additional motivation to go pay a visit 😛

2016-12-09 08.25.31First, we had a nice dim sum breakfast at hubby’s favourite yumcha place at 蓮香樓 Lin Heung Tea House, because of its great atmosphere.

The food quality today was much better than our previous visit! We absolutely adored the steamed mushroom 😀

Anyway, after a leisurely breakfast, we walked to Central Ferry Pier No. 5 to wait for the next normal ferry at 09:00.

​牛店牛肉面 Niou Dien Beef Noodles @Taipei

Posted on 1 November 2016 by lendeliz

2016-11-01-18-54-22There are many beef noodles shop in Ximending, and the hotel staff recommended that we try this shop.

Aptly named as 牛店, it is all about beef here. This place could probably sit about 40 customers, and we liked that the tables were quite spread out, and it felt rather cozy here 🙂

We ordered a 牛筋椒麻拌麵 Spicy Dry Noodles with Beef Tendon (NT$170), and 満漢牛肉湯 Beef Soup (NT$220) to share. The soup came with 腱子心 beef shank, 牛筋 beef tendon, and 牛肚 beef tripe.

If we could only use one word to describe everything, it would be awesome “chewy-ness”! We liked the texture of the beef parts, and the noodles resembled a thinner form of udon. Adding the bone marrow spicy oil available at each table further enhanced the flavours of the soup.

The price tag might be a bit on the high side, but the place was rather comfortable, and we enjoyed our meal very much.

Note: Tea is freely available at the back of the shop.
