Soup Noodles

Hong Kong Noodle House. Not quite a hole in the wall, Hee hee. Short hours, limited quantity. The Cat and The Mouse went for early lunch, before noon.

Bowls of Noodles

Beef Tendon with look funn noodles, stewed beef and won ton with noodles. Mmm!

Served in disposable dishes. The Mouse guesses due to issues caused by that thing that cannot be named. No matter, street food vibe. 🙂

Comfort food well cooked. Good for The Cat’s stomach.

Oh, a pic of the cooking station. 🙂

Cooking Station

Noodle spa. Hee hee.

Be safe, eat good.

Oodles of …

Had an errand near Chinatown last week. Since I was in the area (wink wink), checked out a noodle shop I’ve been wanting to try for a while.

Front

(Picture from their website) 100 North Beretania Street, Suites 171 & 172, Honolulu, Hawai’i. Supposedly, their noodles are made in-house.

Making Noodles

Again, picture from their website. I was going to ask if I could see them make the noodles but I was shy that day. Hee hee.

One of the few Chinese noodle shops that offer “tossed” noodle option (noodles and broth separate for dipping, think Japanese tsukemen). Not really a fan of assembling my noodles and soup.

But, they do offer a variety of soup noodles that you can mix the ingredients (won ton and roast duck for example). Went with won ton and beef tendons.

Beef Tendon and Won Ton Soup Noodles

A match made in heaven (if you ask me).

Close-up

The noodles are the thin chewy type (which I prefer). Did not check if it was one strand of noodle. Hee hee.

Hong Kong Style Noodles

A definite return spot. Problem is they close at 6:00 in the evening. Kind of too early for dinner. Have to catch The Cat on a good day for lunch or early din din. 🙂

Also picked up some dry noodles for The Cat (also from Chinatown).

Package

I think it’s similar to the noodles served at the Hong Kong Noodle House.

Noodle Bundle

Made The Cat some chicken noodle soup (Mouse-style).

Chicken Noodle Soup

Home-made chicken stock, carrots, dried green vegetable, goji berries. Salt, Shao Xing wine, and toasted sesame oil to taste. The Cat didn’t complain.

Enjoy. Eat well.

The Cat was Hungry

After the soju launch event finished, around 8:00, we went hunting for food. The Cat was starving, she didn’t really partake of the tapas. Chef P is still dealing with his teeth and gum issues so he wanted something soft and soupy, right up The Cat’s alley. Ended up at The Cat’s regular Chinese restaurant, Jade Dynasty in the mall.

The Cat’s usually has to have a little starch, more vegetables, a tiny bit of meat (or egg, or tofu).

Chicken Vegetable Look Funn Noodles

First up, chicken vegetable look funn soup noodles. Fulfilled Chef P’s request, and all of The Cat’s requirements. But since there were five of us, we had to order more. Sorry ’bout the fuzziness, had to take the picture quick, chefs were starting to dive in.

Shanghai Cabbage with Shiitake Mushrooms

One of my favorite vegetable combos.

Crispy Beef with Sesame Seed Gravy

A monthly special. Too bad we didn’t order rice or bread to sop up the gravy. 🙂

I guess The Cat felt we didn’t have enough soup.

Dried Scallop Egg Drop Soup

Oh yeah, as we were leaving the soju event, the president of Hwayao, Mr. Taekwon Cho, gave each of us two bottles of soju.Classy guy.

Bottles of Soju

The black one is 82 proof, and the white one is 34 proof. We may keep the lighter one and give the stronger one to the chefs to make more ganache (they prefer higher proof liquors anyway). We’ll see.

Enjoy. Eat well.

Oodles …

Of Noodles.

Participated in a focus group that lasted until late. Dinner of soup noodles at Sunflower Cafe (1157 Maunakea Street, Honolulu, Hawaii). We used to frequent this place quite often, but the location, especially at night, is a little spooky (not ghost spooky, wrong side of the tracks spooky).

Anyway, The Cat ordered roast duck noodle (she forgot to substitute look funn).

Roast Duck Soup Noodles

The Mouse had trouble making up his mind, either won ton noodles or char siu noodles. Asked if they could do a combo, they did. 🙂

Won Ton and Char Siu Soup Noodles

The Cat forgot how good this place is. Hopefully we can become regulars again, just not night time. 🙂

Enjoy. Eat well.
