Good Friday Makan @ Whampoa Food Centre

We came for this stall at Whampoa Blk 91, #01-19 that boasts of their 'Best Lu Mian in Town'. Maybe having been featured in the recent TV program - Food Old Days 寻找原之味, the hawker had adopt arrogant bearing towards his customers amid his brisk business.

Priced at a minimum of $2.50 gets you a rather nice serving of braised fatty pork but be prepared that the broth is nothing like what we are familiar with. It is milder but definitely score with low salt or MSG.



While waiting for our order of the noodle, we observed many old timers to this food centre getting bulk orders of Chee Cheong Fan (Rice flour roll) from this adjacent stall. We join the queue and were satisfied :)

Being in a relaxing mood today, we do not wish to get entangled with the holiday crowd. We decide to pack the Duck Rice this legendary stall and enjoy movies at home comfort.

A stall which had its reputation builds by words of mouth and not by TV media hype does had much to be anticipated for.

Still a presentable and appetitive pack after 2 hrs; the quality pack at $3 was a steal.
