STORYLINE:

Luk Kee Noodle is a famed and time-honored restaurant in Macao.

STANDUP 1 (English): LI HANFANG, Xinhua correspondent
"For 14 consecutive years, this humble eatery has been recognized by Michelin, but its story began long before the accolades."

Luk Kee Noodle, one of Macao's culinary heritages, was first opened in 1945 by Lei Man Lung's grandfather.

STANDUP 2 (English): LI HANFANG, Xinhua correspondent
"Today, Mr. Lei Man Lung carries forward this legacy. The labor-intensive technique, which involves pressing dough for hours, ensures noodles with a unique texture, chewy yet mild in alkaline taste."

SOUNDBITE 1 (Cantonese): LEI MAN LUNG, Owner of Luk Kee Noodle
"The noodles made by machines do not taste good. We have insisted on making noodles through manual labor, which leads to the uniqueness of our noodles in texture. Using manual labor to control the noodles-making process ensures the taste."

SOUNDBITE 2 (English): Singaporean tourist
"My friend introduced us here and we are very happy to have so many choices and they're very delicious, very, very nice. This is one of the best noodles I have ever tasted, very, very nice."
