PrintM. Hamm Hates on Noodletown's Roast Pork
The other night I popped into Great N.Y. Noodletown for a drunken late-night snack and did two things for the first time at this Cantonese roast meat emporium. The first was getting beef chow fun, an ordering misstep that was driven more out of nostalgia for my recently deceased father's favorite dish than any desire to wolf down a plate of noodles and beef bathed in slippery corn starch-based sauce. The second thing was use the ladies' room, where I spied the above bit of anti-porcine propaganda. Just who is this M. Hamm? A tagger who genuinely feels (however mistaken they may be) that swine kills? Or perhaps someone who really loves Noodletown's roast pork so much that they've stooped to a graffiti campaign to ensure that they get their share of succulent pig meat? The identity of M. Hamm will likely remain shrouded in mystery, but I would heartily advise my fellow eaters to ignore the anti-porcine message and heartily partake of Noodletown's roast pork.

i find a good beef chow fun hard to find in manhattan. congee village prepares a good version as does ho yip by world trade center, but most places don't provide enough savory stock and sauce to properly season the noodles. indeed, i've always considered the frequently poor quality of chow fun in nyc as an indictment of the poorer quality of cantonese food here in comparison to the rest of the nation (sf, la, boston).

fulminating, do you always order your chow fun "dry"? maybe you want to try the version with gravy.

Try the beef chow fun at Excellent Dumplng House, 111 Lafayette St., right off Canal. I haven't been disappointed yet, and I learned to eat chow fun at Sam Wo in San Francisco.
