I have heard about this place for some time now, a canteen-style cha chaan teng in the industrial side of Lai Chi Kok just a short stroll from the MTR station. My friends told me they have got a killer instant noodle with satay beef (沙爹牛肉麵) and I am eager to find out whether it's good as people said.
Situated on the ground floor of The Globe, Very Good Luck Fast Food Shop (好好運快餐店) is one of the most popular breakfast spots in the area. Even on a lazy Saturday morning, the small queue outside told us everything we needed to know — this place is the real deal.
Iced milk tea (凍奶茶) – Strong, robust tea with just the right amount of sweetness. The kind that jolts you awake after a week of late nights.
Instant noodles with satay beef (沙爹牛肉麵) – This was what we came here for!
The key was the rich and savory broth with layers of sweetness and spice. The satay beef was tender, generously portioned, and well seasoned, soaking up all the bold, nutty flavor of the broth. And the noodles? Springy and satisfying, clinging onto the broth nicely.
Corn beef and scrambled egg sandwich (鹹牛肉蛋治) – Obviously, anything with beef in it was a popular item here. Fluffy scrambled eggs paired with salty corned beef between soft, toasted slices of bread. Not bad.
Friendly staff, quick service, and food that punches way above its weight. Very Good Luck isn’t just another local breakfast joint. It’s a comfort food haven that delivers on all fronts. That satay beef noodle soup alone is worth hopping off the MTR for.
