Prawn Roe Noodle aka Har Ji Noodle

We come with a purpose to try out the Macau Har Ji noodle. After a long walk, we lost our way here, we stop and asked around for directions and finally we are here..


The restaurant is just beside Koi Kei Pastelaria and around the corner of Tou Tou Kui Restaurant.


Most of the restaurant in Macau is relatively small, unless you had your most meals at Cotai shopping Mall or Venetian's food court otherwise the experience would be very similar to Hong Kong. We seated and our back is touching another patrons's back..LOL 
We even need to find space to get to our table..so this place is not suitable for family with young kids.

The signature dish Har Ji Noodle - the noodle is hard and a little dry and the lead star 'har ji' is the brownish color powder with its source. Perhaps as a daughter of noodle maker I do have high expectation of noodle especially mee. This is just too dry for my taste. But I must stressed out that the restaurant is full with their lunch patrons when we were there.


The wanton soup mee - again noodle is a little hard. I bet due to full house and the cooking procedure is kind of rush. Nevertheless, their wantan is really good, much better than what we had in KL.


We ordered a plate of char siew..yes this is Macau/ Hong Kong style of char siew..dry unlike ours flourished with sweet source..the meat however is gentle despite the ugly look. LOL 

braised pork knuckle..proven we are bunch of carnivore eaters!! According to friends that has been here before, this time the knuckle is slightly mild in taste  which we suspect the braised time is shorter than suppose..


The famous Hong Kong Choi Sum also known as Chinese Flowering Cabbage. The stem is so large almost like a 50 cents coin, surprisingly not hard and super crunchy..

Fried fish ball with rice crackers - extremely good and highly recommended.

Heavy fish ball fillings goes well with the fried rice cracker of the outer wall..super delicious!!
