Thinking of wonton noodle, we decided to come to Jordan and visit this famous shop, which had opened for more than 60 years. If you look at their story how the family built up this business, their hard-working, dedication and focus, are very heart-warming and inspirational. Starting as a street vendor, this traditional noodle shop has not moved from this location in Parkes Street, nor they did open any branches.

Thinking of wonton noodle, we decided to come to Jordan and visit this famous shop, which had opened for more than 60 years. If you look at their story how the family built up this business, their hard-working, dedication and focus, are very heart-warming and inspirational.
Starting as a street vendor, this traditional noodle shop has not moved from this location in Parkes Street, nor they did open any branches. The brightly lit setting, booth seats on both sides with the small tables in the middle, offer a friendly and familiar ambience of the 1980-90s.
Each of us started with the signature Wonton Noodle in Soup ($40). The wontons are made daily with only prawns, so on each bite was a satisfying crunchy prawn meat with great seasoning. The noodle is also meticulous, homemade from scratch by the shop, with a great texture, and the broth is a flavour bomb, full of umami and not overly salty. It was so good I finished the whole serving in a matter of minutes. The reputation is well-earned in my opinion.
We ordered an additional Dumplings in Soup ($36) to share. The plump dumplings have prawn, pork and bamboo shoot as fillings. The combination of the flavours, with the crunchy texture of the bamboo shoot, is amazing and it is certainly one of the best dumplings I have tried in town, and frankly I would even rate this higher than the wontons.
Still having some room, we also had Dry Noodles with Shrimp Roes ($50). With plenty of shrimp roes, its savoury notes added an extra dimension to the noodles, with the dry noodle offering a totally different experience than the soup version. It is nice, but I am still having more preference on the latter one.Service is decent for this kind of noodle shop, and they did not give any pressure to customers, unlike its famous neighbour on the street. The bill on the day was $200. As a local, we should support more our traditional, local and small shops, especially those that operate with heart and dedication like Mak Man Kee.
