Hong Kong Noodle 洪记潮州粉面 @ Bandar Menjalara, Kepong

It isn’t hyperbole to say Hong Kongers take their beef brisket noodles seriously.

Hong Kong Noodle 洪记潮州粉面 had been closed for 2 years due to the pandemic and the Hong Kong owner Mr. Hung went back to Hong Kong, he’s now made a comeback on June last year. He used to run two businesses, one in Yuen Long, Hong Kong but closed down because of the pandemic, and another one in Malaysia. Even though he was in Hong Kong the past two years, he maintained this place at Bandar Menjalara, paying the rent every month.

 

Simple and bright dining area, with an open kitchen and beverage counter share the space near the entrance.

 

The cooking station with an enormous pot of beef stew with assortment of of beef offal, from tripe, lung, intestines to tendon.

 

Apart from the above restaurant’s recommendation items and variety of beef innards, the menu also include Teochew Fishballs, Wonton/Dumpling, Red Fermented Bean Curd Pork Knuckle, Cuttlefish Balls and Puning Mealballs, all can be served as single dish or pairs with rice or noodle.

 

3 Treasure Supreme Beef Noodle (RM23.80)

My bowl of noodle consisted of beef brisket, honeycomb tripe and tendon. If you want a more wholesome meal, get the 6 Treasure Supreme Beef Noodle (RM24.80) with addition intestine, rumen (replaces the honeycomb tripe), lung and kidney. 

choices of noodle included rice noodle, vermicelli (Meehoon), thick Wonton Mee, slim Wonton Mee and Hor Fun.

Brisket 

Tendon

Honeycomb tripe

The soup in deep brown hue was intensely flavoured from hours of boiling the bones and meat, brilliantly layered with spices, herbal and bovine goodness. The savoury sweet broth was enjoyable.  

The beef brisket is stewed till the perfect tender soft texture. The tendons weren’t entirely soft but remained gelatinous with a good bite texture. While the honeycomb tripe had that pleasant slightly crunch to it and all these innards really soaked up the beefy flavours from the broth. Their dried prawns chilli oil is great to perks up the flavours for both the soup and the innard.

 

Beef Slices (RM16.80)

Sam prefer a simple light dish with just beef slices perfectly cooked by the hot broth to a tender finish. 

 

Set B – Hong Kong Classic Satay Beef Noodle (RM23.80)

The set comes with a drink of your choice. Another two option in the list are Beef Brisket & Radish Rice and Curry Beef Brisket Rice (RM25.80/set).

Brimming with tender sliced beef covered with a full-bodied smooth paste with the sweet-savouriness of satay and nuttiness of roasted peanuts in good equilibrium. As our first try on Hong Kong style Satay sauce, this wasn’t our preferential taste I would say. No fault here but just a matter of preference and I believe there must be peoples who like this taste.

 

Coffee Milk Tea aka Yuen Yeung that came with the set wasn’t as great as expected, according to hubby.

 

Verdict: I was pleased with my order of 3 Treasure Supreme Beef Noodle so I will say that it’s one that I would come back again. But make sure we stick to their beef broth noodle and not the Satay Beef Noodle, haha!
