As well as taking opportunities away from small family run businesses, it is also giving new opportunities to other small businesses like this one which has a branch in tinshuiwai.
It is not surprising to see clones of the same eateries in every market as they probably offer units to their existing clients before renting out to new faces as the previous shops cant afford the rent after the facelift.
There are now two restaurants in Po Lam that serve Maocai cuisine: The Fly Place and this one.
I have previously tried The Fly Place in TST where I fell in love with Maocai noodles but sadly they don't have the noodles I wanted at the Polam branch as the menu is focused on hotpots since it is in an expensive location compared to TST as this is one the ground floor while the TST one is on the 1st floor.
The layout of this branch is quite good as you pick up what you want and everything is clearly labelled.
Think of it like Maocai cart noodles in a spicy Sichuan broth!
I just ended up choosing blood jelly and tofu because I don't fancy eating sweet balls made of flour and sugar.
There is a sitting area so had it there.
The noodles are topped with garlic, coriander and peanuts so they will ask you if you want everything.
Maocai noodles are similar to hotpots but they cook it for you so it is ready to eat whereas hot pot you have to wait for it to simmer.
Overall I liked it however it was a bit too spicy for me to handle.
