這些年，很多日本出名的拉麵連鎖店來港開業，香港也牽起了一陣拉麵的熱潮。荃灣亦不例外，出現一間十分出名的拉麵店，名為「拉麵台風」。這間店舖對住在荃灣的拉麵發燒友來說可算是天堂。它很受歡迎，經常見到人龍，可見拉麵的水準被受肯定。

Recently, many famous Japanese ramen chain opened in Hong Kong. Hong Kong people get burst of the ramen craze. Unexpectedly,there are a famous ramen shops opened up in Tsuen Wan, which is called "Ramen Taifu". It is the paradise for the ramen lover .The shop is very popular since you can always see a queue waiting outside the shop, proving its quality of ramen.

店內地方不大但很有日式風味，職員的服務態度很好，會向第一次試的食客逐一介紹拉麵的種類及食法。選餐紙上同平時拉麵店一樣，食客可以自行選擇麵的粗硬度，湯的濃度，份量和小食。

Although the size of the shop is not big, the decoration inside the restaurant is filled with Japanese style. The service attitude of the staff is really nice as they will explain the menu to the customer in a very polite manner. You can tick your flavourite food on the order paper. The choices are just like other ramen shop which include the hardness of the noodles, the concentration of soup, the size and snacks。

1) 魚介豬骨湯拉麵

店只有4款拉麵，店內最受歡迎的打「魚介豬骨湯拉麵」拉麵內有三大塊豬肉,、半隻雞蛋、一塊紫菜、仲有魚粉、筍同京蔥。「湯底」有別於一般的湯底，為豬骨湯底加入了其他醬料！湯本身比較杰、濃但不會太膩。「叉燒」有二大塊，及一些細嚿切條的叉燒！頗厚、肥瘦適中。麵內的半熟蛋有硽過，相當流心，配料內的筍亦爽口好味。

1) Pork broth with fish ramen

Ramen Taifu only provides four types of ramen. The most popular one is pork broth with fish. It includes 3 slice of pork, half of an egg, a piece of seaweed, bamboo shoot and green onion. The soup is totally different from others since they have mixed other sauces in the pork bone soup. The texture of the soup is much more concentrated but you will not feel too greasy. The mouth-watering point is the pork. The egg is being processed with sauce and it is very juicy. The bamboo shoot is tasty and refreshing too.

2) 豬軟骨（骨膠原）撈麵

它的特色是沒有湯的拉麵，這個拉麵的味道很濃，每一口都充滿骨膠原，湯內的魚介粉令到湯的味道更鮮甜。這拉麵的食法加上檸檬汁再配以生菜絲吃的撈麵，這個配撘為拉麵減了一些骨。

2) Porcine cartilage (collagen) lo mein

It features no soup noodles. You can feel the strong taste while having the noodles. You will feel that it is full of collagen in the soup. The fish powder which is added in the soup, makes the soup even more fresh and sweet. You can add the lemon sauce in the noodles, so it can reduce the greasiness of the collagen.

3) 紅色暴雨拉麵

喜歡辣的顧客可以選擇紅色暴雨拉麵， 選前先考慮自己能應付的辣度，它的辣味其實都是恰到好處，既不會搶走去其他主菜原來的味道 (包括：豚肉和拉麵)，又能刺激到一下味蕾的震奮，真的不錯。如果覺得辣麵店有提供檸檬水，可供顧客解辣。

3) Red Storm Ramen

For the people who love spicy, we recommend you the red storm ramen. People can choose the level of spiciness .The pungency degree is just on the right level. It will not cover the taste of other main ingredients of the ramen , i.e. Pork and noodles. It can give you excitement while eating the noodle.There are lemonade provided to the customer to relief them from spicy.

4) 伊台風

它是最特別的拉麵，末上檯已經先聲奪人，因為師傅用火槍把麵上的芝士燒溶，令平凡的拉麵也突然變得特別。它的口感很好，麵很彈牙。之後見到原來師傅用的是小麥拉麵，而且煮每一個麵也會用計時器計時，難怪口感這麼好。

4) Yi Taifu

This is the most special ramen among others. You can find how ex-ordinary of it before the staff serve it to you. It is because the chef will use the fire, which is to melt the cheese over. It made an ordinary ramen to ex-ordinary. The texture of the noodle is just right. The reason of making this awesome noodle is they will use a timer to count the hardness of the noodles.

SPD4459 食指大動篇肆–正宗山西刀削麵皇 Mouth Watering Chapter 4: Shanxi Knife-Cut Noodle King

荃灣最具風味的刀削麵
The Most Shanxi-Style Knife-Cut Noodle in Tsuen Wan

一提到荃灣的美食，當然少不了今次推介的食店 ── 正宗山西刀削麵皇。這間麵店雖然空間比較狹窄，但即使吃完而不會催促你結帳離開。其價錢不但親民，而且份量十足，，水準又不俗，一直吸引不少食客光顧和支持。除了招牌刀削麵外，亦有多款麵飯和小食選擇，如拉麵、炸雲吞等，所以愛麵食的你絕不能錯過啊！

When talking about the cuisine in Tsuen Wan, this restaurant must be on the list - 

Shanxi Knife-Cut Noodle King. Unlike other famous noodle shops, its noodles are hand-made. Although the space of this noodle shop is quite narrow, you won't be urged to checkout immediately after dining. Their selling price is affordable and the quantities of noodles are pretty enough. That's why they can get more attentions and supports of Tsuen Wan residents and travelers as always. Except the signature "knife-cut noodle", there are still many different kinds of food for customers to choose, such as ramen and fried wontons. As a noodle lover, you must take it a try.

如果喜歡吃辣的話，可以試下麻辣豬扒刀削麵。麵與麻辣豬扒是分開上的，豬扒炸得爽口而不油膩，麵條則厚度不均，但軟硬適中，煙煙韌韌且口感不錯。為了讓客人自行調制麵的辣度，麻辣醬亦是一小碟分開送上，其下層伴有細生蒜。濃郁的熱湯配上新鮮製造的麵條和麻辣醬，令香蒜和麻辣味平均分佈在味蕾上，非常搭配。

If you are spicy food lover, you must try knife-cut noodle with spicy pork chop. The noodle and spicy pork chop are separated when giving to you. In terms of the tastes, the pork chop is tasty and not greasy, while the thickness of noodle is uneven but tastes very chewy. Since each customer has different spice levels, so the spicy sauce is put on another small plate. In addition, the hot broth is rich in flavor. When the broth is mixing with knife-cut noodle and spicy sauce, that's the perfect match ever!

不吃辣的話，就選擇上海水餃魚腐刀削麵吧！麵條口感已經提及過，所以不多說了。魚腐只是面層炸過的，爽口彈牙，就像吃魚蛋一樣。而上海水餃皮挺薄的，內裡的肉質鮮甜，十分美味。

Not favor in spicy food, you can choose knife-cut noodle with Shanghai dumpling and fish tofu. Since the texture of noodle we have mentioned before, let's talk about the ingredients. The fish tofu is fried on the outer layer only, so it tastes as bouncy as fish ball. Besides, the Shanghai dumpling wrapper is quite thin and the meat inside dumpling is very delicious.

喜歡吃拉麵的你，不妨試下豬軟骨拉麵。拉麵。麵條比較嚼勁，而豬軟骨味道香濃入味，口感十分滿意，是絕配的選擇！另外，套餐包凍豆漿一杯，豆漿的豆味濃郁，不會太甜，恰到好處，當然亦較為健康。而價格只是$38，非常合理。

You have to try pig cartilage ramen if you love eating ramen. The noodles is much chewier than knife-cut noodles, while the pig cartilage is very tasty and yummy. They are a pretty good match. Besides, a set also includes a cup of soy milk, that tastes very rich in soy flavor and not too sweet. The price is $38 only, that really makes sense.

 

除此以外，這裡還有生煎小籠包，味道非常好的！

Besides, there is a famous fried Shanghai-style dumplings with egg, which is super delicious!

如果喜歡吃小食，可以點叫一客有五粒即叫即整的炸雲吞，外皮炸得金黃鬆脆，旁邊附上沙律醬。雖然碟子上很油膩， 但外皮很有口感，不是翻炸的。豬肉和菲菜(餡料)亦非常新鮮。

If you like eating snacks, you can order a plate of fresh fried wontons (5 wontons for each plate with salad sauce). The gold wonton wrappers are very crispy. The fillings of pork and Chinese leek are fresh and high-quality.

 

有很多飲食節目都曾經介紹這間位於荃灣的刀削麵店。可見它是香港其中一間出名的麵店之一。真是值得一試！
