Been to Butao Ramen in LKF for the 3rd time now yet still haven't tasted their all-so-famous ramen that the critics has been raving about.
Long queue deterred me on my first visit, then I went home and thought - there must be something worth relishing to justify all that queuing. So there I went for the second time on a Sunday, only to find it is not opened on Sundays.
Fair enough.
With a mind made of steel and a heart of stone, I was so determined to go early this evening to check the place out.
As I approached, there was no queue in sight. Lucky day I thought and guess what? They were closed for a special event!!
This is pure madness!
Tell me, am I to head to that direction again for the 4th time?

May be your persistence will pay off some day.
The friend who recommended this place to me also recommended another one at Tai Hang:

He mentioned that it's really thick broth and I might like it. I went today, had high hopes, since this guy's recommendation has suited my tastes so far, and there were magazine's cuttings all over, calling it a Ramen place for celebrities like Eason Chan and Alan Tam.
Very disappointing. The broth is think, but not fragrant. Charsiew is so-so, not flavorful and a tad too dry. Egg was done perfectly though. Noodle is a little too thin for my liking. No 'bite-feel' or should I say 'mouth-feel'?
