Hong Kong Bites Part I: Xiang Ge Li La "Shangri La" Rice Noodle 香格里拉米線專門店

Hello Hong Kong!

It's my first trip here with the BF. . excited !! After we checked-in our stay in Mong Kok, we wandered around for food of course ! We walked a couple of streets ahead to Tung Choi Street and found a hidden gem! This place was not in our planned itinerary.

Despite it's already past midnight, the place is still brightly lit up and looking busy with all the crowd. The main entrance door was filled with photos of the Hong Kong TVB celebrities who had tried the place before.

All these signs obviously telling us to come in and try it out already! LOL

The BF patiently waiting for his meal ♥

In HK, certain cafe/restaurant serves you Chinese Tea in cups, but most of the time they are used to rinse your eating utensil. An interesting practice !

Here it comes . . !

The main highlight of this dish is non other than the broth! The first slurp in your mouth literally makes you scream OMG-WOW! It has all the richness and natural sweetness from the pork. The silky rice noodles gives your tongue a smooth and delightful experience. Topped with the generous portion of bacon, perfectly fried with brown crisp on the side, the balanced saltiness and its chewy texture is just so yumm-O ! 

Highly recommended ♥

Picture says it all . . check out the BF's expression after tasting his first slurp of the soup ! :P

A must try . . !
