Settling in Hong Kong and tasting Hong Kong cuisine: Fish ball noodles are one of the authentic delicacies that must be tried when immigrating to Hong Kong. Originally a Teochew dish, fish ball noodles were introduced to Guangzhou around the Guangxu era. Today, Teochew fish ball noodle shops have flourished in Guangzhou and are also very popular in Hong Kong. It is said that the most famous items at Aberdeen Fish Ball Noodles are their signature fish ball and fish dumpling ho fun, beef tendon and brisket noodles, and pork cartilage noodles.
An authentic fish ball must meet four requirements: firm, white, smooth, and fresh. Furthermore, no flour can be added during the preparation process, otherwise the fish balls will lack elasticity and freshness. It is said that this Aberdeen fish ball shop has its own fresh fish shed, transporting over a hundred jin of fresh fish balls and fish broth daily. Because these are homemade fish balls, they are sufficiently white, smooth, and bouncy.
The fish dumplings are made from different types of fish. They are exceptionally flavorful, fragrant, and tender.
The smooth ho fun noodles beneath the rich broth are silky and flavorful, with a high-quality texture that does not break easily. With such flavor and quality, at 20 HKD per bowl, it can be considered quite affordable by Hong Kong standards.
Aberdeen fish ball noodle stalls are almost as ubiquitous as convenience stores, and many are open 24 hours a day. In short: there is always one nearby.
The broth is simmered over an open flame for 24 hours using a variety of fresh fish, pork bones, old hens, bean curd skin, soybeans, dried tangerine peel, peppercorns, and ginger, demonstrating true culinary dedication! Moreover, you do not feel thirsty at all after drinking it.
