The noodle is made with egg, the highest quality of which is made with duck egg, and is considered one of the more rare noodle in existence. Historically the chef rides a bamboo log to press the eggs, flour, and other ingredients together. As of 2008 in Hong Kong, only a few restaurants are left that make the noodles in the traditional manner.[1]
In 2009, a restaurant, Bamboodles, featuring noodles prepared in this style, opened in the San Gabriel Valley, a suburb of Los Angeles, California.[2]
One of the dish's most popular combinations is jook-sing wonton noodles (竹昇雲吞麵).[1]
