Samsen noodle shop, Wanchai, HK

Came here and thought I could try their  Thai "boat" noodle well-acclaimed as 100% authentic Thai style.  Was in a queue of about 20 people.  Then I went to get a menu for a look.  The price is much even higher than the Thai price, 168-200 for a bowl, but even this is in HK$.  A premium boat noodle in Thailand is  around THB80-120.  So that means the price of this shop is 6 times higher.  Besides, the tables and chairs of this place are quite packed, unlike those comfy seating of a premium noodle shop in Thailand.  In taking the price and the dining environment, I promptly left.  Half of the people in the queue also left after they checked the menu.
