Wineshark HK Restaurant Review - Grandpa Mura

This 'cart noodle' shop is located in Yau Ma Tei, and got some fame with many magazines having interviewed the owner. First arriving, you need to first order your choice of noodle at the counter before going into the restaurant to find your seat.

The shop is quite small, so obviously everyone has to squeeze and when someone sitting at the back is leaving, all the others would need to stand and give way, a bit troublesome. But that might not be unexpected, given this is a cart noodle shop nevertheless.

I ordered the signature Lobster Soup Noodle with Turnip, Pig Blood and Deep-fried Chicken Wings, while my wife went for Lobster Soup Thin Noodle with Turnip, Chicken Liver, Octopus Cake and Fish Cake.

The soup is surprisingly good, rich in flavor and not feeling a lot of MSG. They claimed the soup has been prepared for almost a full day and I can see they have put in a lot of effort to get the soup right. A compliment there.

The noodle is decent, and the different dishes are also fairly nice. The chicken wings is deep-fried with fermented tofu, which is good in taste and not overly deep-fried which would make it totally dry. Also, they were still warm which is important as I absolutely hate my food to be cold if it is not supposed to be.

The pig's blood is without surprise, but the turnip deserved another thumbs-up. It has been braised nicely so the flavors is deeply embedded inside, at the right level of cooking which gives a soft texture but not too crumbly.

With the four dishes a free drink is included, and the total bill on the day was $119. Considering the quality of the food and the soup, I think the price is very reasonable. The whole atmosphere is also rather neat and clean, which is not something the traditional cart noodle shops would be able to offer.

I would recommend you to try out this one.
