| - Where does the love for "lam yoon" come from? I think it's the unapologetic greasiness of the Taiwanese Beef Noodles (hong shao niu rou mian), the hot Horlick that they serve in a glass that makes it impossible to pick up without burning your fingers, the never changing staff, the availability of your fave hk diner food.
On any given visit, I might order the beef noodles, hk style egg/ham sandwich, hk milk tea, fresh egg tarts, wonton soup, beef tendon noodles or condensed milk toast. Always always always love it. It's hk comfort food, it really is, and this place is always open so late. When a group of friends can't agree on where to go (sushi? no, someone's had sushi yesterday. Korean? No, not feeling like digging through pork bone. Viet? no...too slurpy), we can all agree on Richmond Court as a happy compromise.
Now, I'm not saying you should come here because the food will blow you away, or the service. But there's such an appeal to it! It appeals to me like those old American shows who talk about going to their local greasy diner - That's this place!
