Va Heng Macau: Amazing traditional noodles from this Noodle Maker
November 30th, 2012 | Published in Food, Macau, Personal, Travel | 4 Comments
Here’s my favourite noodle shop Va Heng that’s been making noodles for the last 5 generations. They also do the best and purest oyster sauce (168MOP) per bottle but you only need a dollop because it’s so salty with the giddy flavours of the sea, you will never use Lee Kum Kee ever again. Best used over blanched vegetables! I am not a fan of XO sauce, but they also do homemade bottles. They go through a few hundred eggs a day to make noodles all day.
Kind of what we get when making the dough for pasta.
Then they go into these giant steamer/frying equipment at the back of the shop to become this:
I’ve only bought noodles here once, usually I go next door to have those noodles with specially homemade beancurd. More on that in my next post!

Wow, these noodles look delicious! I love that photo of them balled up in the bamboo steamer. Their oyster sauce sounds divine. That’s so funny about Lee Kum Kee. I prefer oyster sauce to XO sauce. Can’t wait to read about the other noodle shop you frequent more often.

Love shops with that type of pedigree. Means they really know what they are doing and are proud of their product. I must buy some fresh noodles and try that oyster sauce over veggies. Next time I´m around the area.
