Line up for Delicious N' Bouncy Fish Balls/Slices Noodle Soup!

I was rather disappointed in the fish balls that were offered in Taiwan and was reminded how much better it was in Hong Kong. My parents took me to a place that they thought offered decent fish balls. I trust their judgment since they are very selective eaters. Also it makes it a LOT easier when you see a line up just to get seated at this place. It's called Tak Cheong Noodle or in Chinese (德昌鱼蛋枌).  They display a lot of rolls of Fish logs that will be cut into slices for you to eat which is usually accompanied with some soup noodles.  Basically you come here for Fish ball/slices noodle soup with a side of Fried Fish skin. It's quite the comfort food and sadly it's just not available or close to being decent in the United States.

As you all probably know, Hong Kong's real estate is super expensive and yes you'll most likely have to share a table with complete strangers. It's quite normal in Hong Kong. This usually happens when you eat in a small group where there's free seats for the taking for strangers to join you. It also doesn't really help when they aren't very socialable and just keep to themselves; usually makes for some awkwardness at the table but Hong Kong is a fast city and people just come for the food and leave on the double to their next destination (probably another place to grab another small bite or drink).

I got the standard  Fish ball/slice combo with wide rice noodle and also some Pork balls. I love Pork balls. If you have never heard of them, you should try it some time (provided you eat Pork). Full of flavor and just goes very well with soup noodle. For only 26 HK dollars or about  ~3.50 US dollars you can get a bowl of Fish balls/slices noodle soup. So cheap! Aside from fast food like McDonalds, it's really hard to get something decent at these prices. I'll be sure to be making a stop here next time I am there. It's in Kowloon City, Hong Kong. Closest MRT station would probably be Lok Fu.
