Big plate of noodles at Tai Tip Mein

Rewind about twenty years ago and there were about three or four noodles joints in London like Wagamama and Tai Won Mein etc along with Tai Tip Mein.
Both Tai Won Mein and Tai Tip Mein pride themselves for big portions at affordable prices.

I decided to revisit these restaurants to get an update on quality and how they are these days.

Visited Tai Tip Mein which is located in Woolwich Dockyards.

There used to be a branch in Elephant and Castle but has recently closed down.

The staff at Tai Tip Mein were really good because are the counter staff are probably second generation BBC's that speak English.

Without further ado I got the plain fried noodles which are basically curly noodles which are similar to instant noodles which I shall be ordered at Tai Won Mein later for comparison.

In the early days, these curly noodles were not served.

The noodles arrived a few minutes after ordering which was really efficient.

Each and every strand of noodles were well tossed and evenly coloured with a wok aroma.

Adding chilli sauce took it to another level.

As mentioned earlier, the portion is huge and probably good to share with the equivalent of 2.5 portions of instant noodles.
