[ Mak Man Kee Noodle 麥文記麵家 | 佐敦 ]60 years and counting. This old-school wonton noodle shop keeps its roots with their pure shrimp wonton that used tiger shrimp. The owner is the only chef and cooks every single dish from his little corner. I got here at 11:55am and was lucky to get a seat as 12 is when the queue start forming. I ordered their wonton noodles with chinese broccoli (gai lan) and flowering chives. Both took longer than expected (10 minutes) but at least freshness is guaranteed. —— —

上湯雲吞麵 Tiger Prawn wonton noodles in soup $45
The wonton noodles are springy without much taste themselves so it tastes best after a long soak in the broth. Broth is insanely rich and flavorful whilst still clear and doesn’t make you thirsty afterwards.
Wontons themselves were definitely the best. Silky smooth wrappers with generous filling including very plump pieces of tiger prawns in each. This noodle bowl came with 4 pieces and ordering plain wontons comes with 8 pieces for $50.
Portion of noodles is surprisingly filling given the small bowl but may not be enough for people with big appetites.

芥蘭 $26 + 蠔油 $1
The gai lan is very fresh with a thick crunchy stem and very smooth, tender leaves. They cover this in a simple sauce of soy and oil to maintain the glossy appearance. Did not like that the oyster sauce is an add-on as it should be included in the already high price. Portion is good for one.
韭菜花 $26
These chive flowers were also very fresh. Crunchy but softer and way sweeter than regular chives. I prefer this over the gai lan as it’s easier to eat and tastes better.

💬 Overall, great local HK food that attracts many tourists and locals alike. But there is fast turnover so queue does move fast. The only downside is the price which is quite high for such simple, local dishes.Overall,
