安利魚蛋粉 On Lee Fish Ball Noodle, Shaukiwan, HK

40 years ago, On Lee was one of the street stalls selling fish balls noodle at a corner of Tung Tai Street in Shaukiwan. To me it was not that interesting as Shaukiwan was a fishing village and there were a lot of seafood I could see at home. I prefer something not found at home - the trolley noodle. As people talked about eating local and exotic in recent years, On Lee was one of those attractions. Not only the fame and glory has brought the family of On Lee a fortune, but also the greed and jealousy among the family members and split the business into 3 different shops. The hatred didn't end and hostile harsh words were spoken against each other.

1. actually the street stall was once next to this shop before the fight. 2. the shop still claimed itself as street stall.

3. Beef brisket noodle HK$21. 4. Fish ball noodle HK$19. Well, there are quite many people who often thought On Lee is so good at fish balls. The fish balls are not bad but what made On Lee so popular in the old time were not fish balls. They should be the everyday freshly made flat rice noodle and the fish stock in white. As you can see, none of these was carried on. However, still a lot of people came here for the name.
