Wineshark HK Restaurant Review - Liang Liang Noodles

This noodle shop is located in TST East, in the busy walkway going to the flyover which connects to the Hunghom train station. Coming on a Saturday noon the place is super busy so we have to sit together with two other people in the 4-seater. The setting is cramped but still the overall environment is fairly clean and neat.

I ordered the three-dishes rice noodle, including chicken wings, pig's blood and squid balls. The shop advertises that they didn't add any MSG and frankly I can't confirm but I was not feeling too thirsty afterwards. This is kind of an exception.

All the three dishes added to the noodle are good, with the chicken wings marinated well, the squid balls got the bite while the pig's blood got the right texture. From the noodle alone the shop got a fairly good mark comparing with other similar shops.

In addition we ordered the hot fish balls, pan-fried squid cake and blanched vegetable. The chili paste added to the fish balls are not spicy enough for us. On the other hand, the squid cake is quite good, just off the frying pan so to speak, with a crispy skin, also nice in taste. The vegetable is pretty normal.

One thing to note is that it is not cheap. With two noodles and the above snacks the bill was $141, with the two free drinks so we even didn't order any beverages. But I have to compliment the owner of the shop to really make the 'cart noodle' to a higher level, elevating it from the street-food and perceived as dirty and unhealthy, to a more acceptable level suitable for even the more health-conscious.

My overall rating is 53/100.
