Talking about Beef Brisket Noodles in Wan Chai, I would usually think of Tsuen Kee, as this was the place where I was brought up with. Today I had this sudden crave for Beef brisket so I went to have lunch in Tsuen Kee.
Luckily there were seats available, so I do not need to wait for a seating. There was indoor and outdoor seatings, which under this hell temperature, there was no way I am sitting out. The indoor decor was simple with white tiles, wooden tables and stools. There wasn't any AC but there were several fans around each of every corner of the restaurant. Guess what, I was sitting at one of the corners, under the fan and sweat to death during my lunch! Try to grab a nicer seat if you are planning to visit.
Funny - In the store, there was an over dressed waitress wearing a black suit bottom and a sky blue blouses with white ruffles collar. Her look was absolutely absurb in the surrounding environment. Well I guess she was the owner of the restaurant, so she had to be special among them lol.
1) Fried Fish Skin $13
There was no exception for eating in a HK noodle shop without having a dish of fried fish skin. The fried fish skin came in a small bowl and the portion seemed to be rather small at a price of $13. Nonetheless the fried fish skin was very crispy. It did not have any flavour itself, so present this bowl of soup on the table beside the fried fish skin. The bowl of soup was extremely salty but nice to drink, it should have contained a lot of MSG in it. After dipping the fried fish skin into the soup for a few seconds, the crispy fried fish skin now became a mixture of crispiness and softness, which was the best essence of the fried fish skin.
2) Beef Brisket Flat Rice Noodles $21
The portion of the beef brisket flat rice noodles was rather large, so were the beef briskets. The beef briskets were actually beef brisket and tendons. The texture of the beef tendons were made too soft, which lost its usual chewiness. The beef briskets were tasty, they were mostly half fat, but the lean ones were not as tender as those with the fat ones. The flat rice noodles were rather soft but were very smooth. The smoothness should be due to the oil that was added to the soup base. The soup base were full of the taste of beef brisket. It was so tasty which I could not help drinking half of the bowl. Yet after having the bowl, I was in thirst. The soup was rather salty, so I guess they have added in MSG in that too.
