Indecisive? Greedy? Choose Cart Noodles




Among all the Hong Kong food, the one I like the most is Cart noodles, since it can give you up to 200 of combinations and all ingredients including noodles type, soup base and toppings are all your own choice.

It named as cart noodle because, in the 50s, the vendors are selling it using carts (shown as below) on the roadside. Now, there are no more carts on the street due to a safety and hygiene problem, but we can still enjoy it inside the restaurants where specialise in cart noodles.

Also, it serves quickly and in a low price, the soup base also varies among different shop and it is difficult to cook it at home.


Step 1: Find a seat

When we entered into a cart noodles shop, we usually find seats by ourselves, then you will see the chopsticks and spoon and order sheet placed on the table. Do not expect the sitting will be super comfortable, as they will keep the tradition of using wooden foldable table and circle chair, but what more you can ask for the 3 pounds meal.





Step 2: Decision and Decision


The order sheet must be placed on the table and you can circle all the ingredients you want.



 You will need to choose the toppings, noodles, soup base and drinks. The shop of the photo in the left has given 58 choices of toppings, ranging from vegetables, meat, beef, pork and balls. 14 kinds of noodles choice and 6 sauces. The price is based on what you have ordered and we usually order 3-4 toppings.


Cart noodles shop must have at least 6 types of noodles choices which makes you never tired of enjoying it!

Then we need to choose our favourite toppings out of 30-60 choices....
It can serve quickly as actually all toppings are cooked already and this is also why they are so tasty, it the toppings has already soaked in all the sauces.
My favourite toppings include squid, fish balls and beef!



Step 3: Enjoy!




The ordering sheet is placed under the bowl once its ready, sometimes there will be the staff serve you and sometimes you need to pick it by yourself, depends on the size of the shop.

Don't forget to have a try of the chilli oil on the table if you are spicy lovers! You can always find the best chilli sauce and oil in cart noodles shop!
