Running late after an errand, we popped into Moanalua 99 to check out what things they had for lunch.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the place busy, see, the last time I had been to the area was in 2006 and it was dark, a lot of places weren't operating, quite scary, in fact.
After checking out most of the vendors, we chose Mini Garden Express' crispy gau gee noodle...$7.50 + tax.
I think this type of noodle is what they call "Hong Kong" style, it is on the thin side. I like it and the fact that they fry it up crisp for this dish too!
Another plus is that they pack the gau gee separately. But, their filling is kinda skimpy.
We want to check out some of the other places here, we'll be back!

Yeah; the noodles look like "Hong Kong Style"......how come you didn't order the noodles "Cake Noodle" style? Especially in Hawaii. I miss cake noodles -- a culinary mistake many years ago in Hawaii that should be made into a Chinese culinary standard everywhere.

Yum. After last night's heavy on the fried antipasti and meat dinner, I am so craving for vegs. I feel so weighed down!
ReplyDeletethis had quite a bit of veg, Rowena, but lots of noodles too :)
ReplyDeleteTake care.
