TamJai SamGor is a noodle chain from Hong Kong that specialises in Yunnan-style mixian (rice noodles) with customisable toppings. From 2011 to 2013, the chain was on the city’s Michelin Bib Gourmand list (restaurants on the list are recommended for their “high-quality” and wallet-friendly fare). It’s named after its Hunan-born founder, Tam Chap Kwan (also affectionately known as ‘Tam Jai’, and ‘Sam Gor’, or third brother in Cantonese).
