George,

Actually I [i]did[/i] work on it during Chinese New Year since I had four days off instead of the usual one.  This particular job is a six day a week situation.  As for noodles?  Love them.  Although I enjoy the various noodles in broth dishes, my favorite dish is Singapore Style fried noodles.  I always liked that back home, and when I found out I could get them here a down the block from where I'm working, I was in heaven.  They're cheap and delicious.   A plate of noodles and a bowl of rice (yeah, I know, if you're eating noodles you don't normally eat rice, but whatever) costs a burning $38 HK, or $5 US. 

I also have found that by eating in the local restaurants, I have gained some serious "cool guy" points with the folks I work with.  Most Westerners come to Hong Kong and won't eat in the local joints becuase they tend to look, well, "funky" is putting it politely.   I figure that since the locals aren't dropping like flies or getting sick every other day, then it can't be too bad.  It's been a couple of months now and I've had no problems. 

One thing I find amusing is that it's a common habit here to order hot tea with your meal so you can "clean" the utensils before you eat with them.  I don't bother because the plates and cups are washed in the same place as the utensils, and no one is trying to clean the plate full of food before they eat off it.  Either it's clean, or it's not - just eat and you'll know soon enough.
