I actually visited Mak's right after my experience at Wang Fu as I was still hongaray and needed to feed the rumbling noise from my stomach within. I arrived with some preconceptions I must admit as I knew that this place was THE holy grail for wonton noodles, it was also featured extensively on TV and in magazines and I think even Michelin had rated it as being one of the best.

I actually visited Mak's right after my experience at Wang Fu as I was still hongaray and needed to feed the rumbling noise from my stomach within. I arrived with some preconceptions I must admit as I knew that this place was THE holy grail for wonton noodles, it was also featured extensively on TV and in magazines and I think even Michelin had rated it as being one of the best. Granted, I'm no wonton noodle connoisseur, and to be honest, I thought the noodles were just ok. I actually had the shui kau noodles and at $30, it came with 3 shui kaus in a small kiddie-sized bowl. The shui kaus were again, average in my humble opinion and nothing to write home to mommy dearest about. The noodles were indeed springy and wirey and nicely al dente, but the soup stock was disappointingly bland and lacked the punch that makes it stand out from the hundreds and dozens of noodle shops around. Or maybe I'm just not refined enough in my taste when it comes to wonton noodles and don't know any better, but I seriously couldn't understand the hype surrounding their noodles. What's interesting I noticed were the 2 crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, this was in stark contrast to the general sparse decor of the noodle shop, being that of a noodle shop. The shop was also excessively bright, they must have had at least three dozen lightbulbs running at 300 watts each. Service was pretty subpar, I felt pressured to hurry and eat up despite the place being rather quiet given the weekday lunch hour. Nonetheless, as soon as I had put down my chopsticks and spoon, the waitstaff had zoomed in and snatched the bowls and utensils away. I will bring people here if they so insist on trying it out, but as for myself, I think I'll head across the street to the much cheaper place since the minute difference between the two is not great enough to justify the much higher cost Mak's charges. FYI - you would need 2 bowls to be full here.
