After watching the TVB series, “You’re Hired”, I was a little bit obsessed with this mini wantan noodle which is called as “??” (Sai Yong) by the local people here at Hong Kong.

So when I was traveling to Hong Kong lately for working, I took the opportunity to try it out. This restaurant was located at Jordan, near to the MTR station exit. (Next to the Australia Dairy Co.)

The menu, I can’t read a single word!! Sigh..

So what so special about this “Sai Yong”?
It is SMALL!!

Haha, yes, it is very small indeed. Can finish in few bites.
Actually the special thing about it is the thing hidden under the noodle.
Let see what it is?


The treasure underneath the noodle is the superb fresh shrimp wantans.
It was so juicy and fresh!!
Beside that, ‘Sai Yong’ is served in a very unique way.
First, they place the spoon at the bottom of the bowl.
Then on top of the spoon, they put the shrimp wantans.
After that, the noodle is put on top of everything. Finally, the soup will be poured on top of the noodle.
This way, the noodle will be not be overcooked inside the hot soup. ^_^
This is what I heard from the TVB series actually. Haha.
Below is the best I can do with my drawing on how it look like. Lolz
Hope you know what I draw.

Conclusion, it worth a try if you ever come to Hong Kong.
But of course don’t purposely fly to Hong Kong for this, then it not worth it. Hehe
