7天优品酒店 中山坦洲镇市场中心分店

This busy shop next to the Chun Lei pier still kneads the noodles with a bamboo pole like in bygone days. The owner’s wife then cooks them perfectly, thus explaining their bouncy texture. The broth simmered with an array of seasonal fish boasts depth and sweetness. Dried prawn roe sprinkled on tossed noodles is toasted by the owner himself, imparting umami and aroma. Also try the crab congee and deep-fried wontons with crispy dace balls.

The chef rolls out a neo-French score with unorthodox ingredients from around the world, such as marble goby confit in a herb butter that is stuffed with mashed potato and topped with caviar. Beads of tangy champagne sauce are piped around the fish to cut through the richness. To experience the chef’s artistry and creativity, order the 6-course tasting menu; even better with the well-curated wine pairing. Certain items need pre-ordering.

Don’t judge a book by its cover because the underwhelming signs outside reflect neither the quality of the food nor the service in this friendly, well-run noodle shop. The key draw is the swimmer crab congee – crabs are dressed on the spot and burst with seafood umami, while the creamy congee is rich in crab roe aromas. Curried beef brisket, noodles tossed in crab roe sauce and springy pan-fried cuttlefish patties are other standouts.
