云南米线

OMG! I've always loved Yunnanese rice noodles (云南米线) with hot and sour base (酸辣汤底), tofu skins (腐皮), pickled vegetables (酸菜), beansprouts (豆芽) and minced pork (炸酱) on the side, but tonight's was elevated to a new level. The waitress asked if I'd like to increase the heat (加辣) for HK$2, and I said, "好啊!" This option was never offered before, and I must say, it was amazing! THE BEST YET!!! SO YUMMY!!! Can you guess where I ate this mouthwatering bowl of noodles?
