Millbrae, CA: Hong Kong Flower Lounge
Lobster Lo Mein from the Hong Kong Flower Lounge in Millbrae. They charged us $30 for one and a half pounds and $3 for the noodles. What a bargain – for the noodles. The noodles were good but didn’t get a lot of the lobster flavor. I did like that it was very saucy and that the sauce clung to the noodles. It was lacking the toasty wok flavor that I really like – that you can only get from a restaurant. The lobster wasn’t over cooked and was very meaty. Overall, the noodles were not worth paying $33. I miss the lobster lo mein from ocean restaurant clement street – not as saucy but so flavorful. Unfortunately, ocean restaurant no longer exists and is now a vietnamese restuarant.

Best garlic noodles ever. The noodles are thick and soft without being mushy. It has the perfect balance of salty, sweet and spicy. The garlic flavor is not overpowering and the noodles aren’t greasy. I could eat plates and plates of these. The only bad thing I can say about this is that they won’t tell me what’s in it except for garlic!! Damn yous!
