Mong Kok Street Food Raid

Woke up late, it was around that awkward time of 4pm, when its too late for lunch but too early for dinner. So we decided to go cheap and eat street food.

阿土麵線 is smacked in the corner of one of the busiest intersection in MK, kinda easy to find with that huge Happy Lemon store next to it. 阿土is actually a well known Taiwanese snack and its boss decided to export the goodness to HK people. So we had a Hong Kong Taiwanese Hong Kong Street Food Session. O.o

The snack itself is scooped from this huge bucket of gooey soup, with little pieces of thin noodles submerged into it. The soup contains little bits of chopped pig intestine (yummm for some, yuck for others) which gives a very...errr......if you ate it before, you will know the taste. Anyways, thats just what they serve in default, kinda like a cadillac with no rims, rappers with no bling, mexico with no swine.....well you get the idea. The point is to 'Suped up' your snack with many other ingredients you order extra. I got oyster and extra pig intestine, and sprinkled on some spicy white raddish.So how does it taste?: The spicy raddish gives the noodle an overall sweetness, and a very strong garlic smell. The oysters give the noodles a bit of texture, and a hint of seafood taste in the soup. The noodles themselves are....funny? its kinda too thin and gooey to have texture, but the soup has too much noodles to be consided a soup. So overall....very weird mixture of favours....or should i say....very Taiwanese?

Final Verdict: Worth a try for street food addicts. Those with a picky taste wouldnt find it all that exiting

And of course, what is a post without a candid picture of kelvin enjoying his food? Look at those eyes of satisfaction as he digs in his bowl of noodel. If you ladies are interested, msg me for his details :D
