Macau
Peak-time queues even before its Michelin recommendation are a clue that this long-standing noodle joint has a loyal following. The chewy hand-made egg noodles are addictive and best when tossed with their signature dried shrimp roe. Side dishes of curry beef brisket and stewed pork knuckle are MOP$45 each.
Note that portions are small and seem to be getting smaller the better known the shop becomes.
