Instant Beef Noodle in Hong Kong
May 23rd, 2008 by Nicholas Chan
After a trip to Hong Kong, only now I realized that the people there loves to eat instant noodle. Almost every char chan then (their coffeeshop) serves instant noodle. The most famous and favourite of all is the instant noodle with beef and eggs or sometimes sausages. We call it Maggi/Cintan Mee here where they call theirs Gong Zai Mee (公仔面）.
A bowl of above noodles cost about HK$15. We were too hungry that time and we got no time to look for restaurants at Central already, and so we just went to the little food stall at the roof top of Queensway Plaza. Surprisingly, the place is filled with working people during tea time. It’s either noodle or buns, and I ordered a beef noodle. Never knew that it’s those instant noodle until it have been served. If it’s just plain noodle, it will not be good, but with beef and eggs, not bad.
Maybe it is the hectic life in Hong Kong, so that everything must be fast and so instant noodle it is. Taking too much of instant noodle is not good by the way.
