Handmade noodles are still the highlight.

One day, I saw on MM that Chiu Ko Indonesian Handmade Noodles in Sham Shui Po had reopened, so I quickly took my dad to reminisce.

The new store is not far from the old one, and the name has changed from Chiu Ko Indonesian Handmade Noodles to Chiu Ko Indonesian Restaurant.

I remember the old store's business wasn't bad (unfortunately, it couldn't survive the pandemic). Now, with MM's endorsement, its popularity has soared, and lining up has become a norm, even though I arrived at 11:30 in the morning.

Without hesitation, I ordered the handmade noodles. The noodles were generously topped with char siu, shark fin balls, salted meat, shrimp crackers, and fried pork skin, just like in the old store.

The noodles have always been the star, being firm and chewy. Paired with white vinegar, fish sauce, and chili sauce, the sour and spicy flavor is very appetizing. Even my dad, who tried a bit, praised it highly.

My dad ordered the seafood fried rice noodles. Although it lacked the wok hei, the taste was not bad, and my dad was satisfied.

I noticed the store sold some Indonesian snacks like pandan cake, so I bought a box of curry puffs to take home. They came with chili oil, which is a common Indonesian way of eating them, I guess? Just don't leave them for too long, or they'll become soggy.

You can't have noodles without a drink, but a single drink costs over twenty dollars, so I planned to go to the nearby Garden to buy coffee.
