Fishballs

孖寶车仔面 @ Kwai Fong, Hong Kong

This place is highly recommended by my friend and people who lives around there. It’s basically a street stall inside a shopping mall. When you reach Kwai Fong MTR station, you have to walk on the link bridge and turn right to the older mall. If not clear better ask ‘cos I will get lost too. It was about 9pm but the business was still very good. This place I can conclude is totally unknown to tourists!

Was told by the lady I cannot take photos of the stall... but... what's there to hide??? It's just menu hanging everywhere... sigh...

Pig spare parts soup...

My order of noodles with beef brisket, cheesy cocktail sausage and squid balls. HKD$30. Basically you can choose whatever ingredient you like to add to your base plain noodles.

Stealing a peek at what others are ordering... and I didn't order... how can?!?!

So I ordered a braised chicken leg with curry fishballs. The leg damn nice... for only HKD$13 each. Balls same same like anywhere else lah.

Me putting on the disposable gloves... Had to stretch it a bit... too small!

Finally got to eat! It's juicy and tender! Love it!

Address of the stall

Rating: 4/5. Initial attitude was not there but service at the tables were good.

Taste: Nice and tasty… especially the chicken leg! Yums!

Portion: Average

Price: Stated with the pics

RTE: When I’m around the area.

Location: See last picture. If lost, must ask!


新港鱼蛋王 @ Yuen Long, NT, HK

The problem with not regular blogging is that you would have a lot of backlogs of reviews to write about and at the same time not realising that your blogsite has more than 10,000 unique hits!  Great to know that those that hit my site are not just from Singapore but from the Asia Pacific region! Hence I had to pul myself out of bed and start clearing what I have documented and hope you guys like it as well! ;P

Was in Yuen Long again for food and I actually like being there discovering lots of good food in the area. I have HK friends that even ask me, what the hell are you doing in Yuen Long??? Just because it’s far from the city, it doesn’t mean that it’s not happening. It’s happening for me though… food wise! ;P Checked out this place fishball place before and this time decided to review them.

Shop front

Selection of different seafood paste which you can buy home to cook with your noodles or a la carte.

All the balls, beef, chicken, squid, prawn, fish, etc...

You don't get these prices in Tsim Sha Tsui or Causeway Bay...

Very small shop only... super crowded during peak hours...

Our bill... collectively...

Friend's order of wan ton and fish ball soup

My order of fish noodles with squid balls

The noodles are made with fish meat!

Yummy!

Address of the place

Rating: 4.5/5

Taste: Freshness is in the air… the balls are really nice… the fish noodles is not bad but I reckon it’s just a gimmick. I’ll have normal noodles anytime.

Portion: Average

Price: HKD$46 for 2 bowls

RTE: I might… but there are so many choices in Yuen Long!

Location: See last pic. :)
