Tam's Noodle House 譚仔麵食 in San Gabriel

[ipsedixit]

@ColinMorey

One big problem is that if you put your nose up to the noodles to smell, even with the seasoning, there is that signature strong smell that is very Windex like (eeeek), so I would advise not to smell the noodles if you can.

It could be worse. You could a good waft of sweaty armpits.

That Windex-bleach like smell seems to permeate alot of mom-and-pop HK restaurants, from the tables themselves, to the choptsticks and utensils and to the bathrooms (thank god!)

Does make you wonder …
