I went to a few recommended places to eat when I was in Hong Kong recently. Most of it were pretty nice. Hence, when i read about a Hong Kong Chef heading in a local restaurant, I decided to give it a try to see if it is comparable.
The restaurant name is Noodle Place Restaurant. located along the Orchard Road, The Centrepoint, level 1. It was pretty crowded when i reached. The place is not too big but neat and clean. Not advisable if dining in a big group, 6 or fewer should be just nice. I am sure the waiting time could be longer during the usual lunch and dinner time.
There are about 100 dishes on the menu, we ordered three dishes + a drink ie Shrimp Wanton Noodle Soup, Noodle Place Special Congee, Twin Mixed Roast Meat + K-last Sng Boey drink.
The noodle soup tasted nice. However, the yellow ingredient used to make the noodle is a bit too strong and affected the tasted of the soup though the noodle is quite q. A simple and light dish. Can try it. The congee is much better. Not too salty and pretty smooth. The pig's liver is done well ie not too hard. A small surprise to me is a nice fresh prawn in it + a thin slice of abalone. They would have served it with dough fritter (油条) but has to be ordered separately at $2 per plate. The twin mixed for us is the roasted duck and pork. The presentation not so good and the roasted pork is cut into too small pieces. Taste wise is normal. I prefer having roasted pork prepared in a bigger pieces. More shiok and chewy.
Overall, the dishes are fine. Service is quite good. I would still prefer the same dishes in Hong Kong. Something seems to be missing here - culture, smell etc, i do not how to describe it. Maybe my mood ba. Ha...ha...ha...
