When met up with Emilz in Hong Kong, she took us to a shop located in one of the street in Mongkok to try their Pork Lard Mee and some nice taufufa.

The shop name is called Ren He Shan Bao (人和三宝). She doesn’t know the street name, but knows the way there and I din take note of the street name while I was there as well.

So, when she told me about their Pork Lard Mee(Yao Cha Min) I actually thought it’s something like our Hokkien Mee with lotsa pork lard. She told us to add on the tai cheong (large intestine).

It turns out to be fat mee in clear soup with lotsa pork lard and large intestine on top. The mee and soup is pretty tasty (of coz! there’s pork lard in it!), but I din eat the pork lard at all. I dun eat fats since young, I’ll scrap it off especially in char siu and siu york which my bf hates me ordering that coz I’ll take hours (okay..this is exaggerated, not that long) to remove the fats.

So, as for the taste of the large intestine, it’s kinda chewy with pretty strong taste. I dun exactly know how to describe it but it’s definitely not something I would want to eat again, but you should always try, who knows you love it?

Mr. BF ordered for shark fin mushroom soup, the shark fin should be those fake ones. It tasted alright.

Oh yeah… they sell taufufa with different kinda toppings. They have purple glutinous rice, black glutinous rice, yam, mango, green bean, red bean, coconut, or fresh fruits for topping.I ordered purple glutinous rice taufufa since taufufa and glutinous rice are my favourites.

I’ve never heard of purple glutinous rice before this, in fact I din even know it exist! The taufufa is smooth and the purple glutinous rice taste kinda like black glutinous rice, just that it’s purple instead of black.

Btw, if you’re wondering what’s large intestine and it’s function in the body, read it from here. In short, this is where the the body holds the faeces until it’s ready to be released. Okay… enough said, I dun wanna elaborate further, it makes me wanna puke.

I can’t believe I actually ate that a few of that.
