What to Eat Taiwanese restaurant in Central: go for the egg rolls with cheese, but forget about the beef noodles
- The bustling Wyndham Street location serves up traditional Taiwanese fare
- The delicious egg rolls with cheese will only set you back US$10
Bustling Taiwanese restaurant, What to Eat, is only a short walk from Hong Kong’s Central MTR station.
Inside the Wyndham Street location, the walls are decorated with cartoon drawings of people waiting outside in queue – and this is what you should expect. We waited five to 10 minutes on a Friday night before we were seated.
Once we were inside, one of the waiters, who was quite efficient and spoke Mandarin with a strong Taiwanese accent, told us that we had only 45 minutes to eat because we were there at a peak time.
The menu has a wide variety of traditional Taiwanese rice and noodle dishes, snacks and drinks, and there are handwritten recommendations posted on the wall.
We started off with the Taiwanese braised beef rib noodles (HK$82). The noodles had a nice texture and the beef ribs were tender. The soup base was mildly spicy with a slight taste of herbs, but even with the generous amount of scallions and spice added to the broth, we felt this bowl of noodles lacked flavour.
