Their restaurant is hard to spot, which makes this a gem of a place to visit
The Black Hoof is a foodie’s adventure come true. The shareable dishes, mostly of meat, are very distinctive and uniquely assembled for ideally two people to share. On this promising night, five friends and I gathered to dine at this much-talked about restaurant. I was super excited to say the least.

It’s simply a bowl of noodles with three toppings to choose from. That’s what Jim Chai Kee Noodle is all about. This restaurant started way back in 1994 so it has a lot of history, loyal customers, a solid fan base, and lots of bowls of wonton noodles served over these 20 years! 🙂 Continue reading

Again, I wasn’t able to blog about this day immediately that night, so here are the pictures from Day 5 with commentary. 🙂 Continue reading
