竹升虾子捞面 (Shrimp Roe Bamboo-Pressed Noodles)

Breakfast @ "皇冠小馆".

 

This eatery is famous for its bamboo-pressed shrimp roe noodles, considering the walls were packed tight with reviews and photos of celebrities.

 

The noodles were really al dente and springy but somehow, I am not so in love with it - the shrimp roe was dry but also nutty and reminded me a tad of roasted sesame. It was also so dry that it lacked the smooth umami taste of the version from "Wong Chi Kei".

 

Unfortunately, I never did make it to "Cheong Kei" - the shop famous for the same dish for a final comparison.
