Mak's Noodles

Without a doubt, the best won ton min in town, and always features on my patented tour of Hong Kong, along with Red Pepper (the ultimate gweilo Chinese), Dim Sum, the mad pork place not for the feint hearted, duck overlooking the harbour at Peking Garden and a final meal, pre-airport, at Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao. And, as C is in town, we're bound to be frequenting them over the next few weeks. Yey!

Super quick and very easy, the restaurant is small and clean and the staff are super friendly and speak English. Splash out and get a plate of spicy pork and a plate of steamed greens to share as well. The noodles are fresh and bitey, the won tons are made every morning by the gents who serve you (you can see this if you get there when they open at 11). The soup is divine - who knew a few tablespoons of liquid could taste SO good. It's a great hangover cure to boot.

Admittedly, it's not the cheapest bearing in mind it's hole in the wall food - a whole HK$36 for a small bowl of noodles with four won tons so if it's cheap you're after the place over the road does a bigger, less superior version for HK$16.

Note: There's no name in english on the outisde, though there's a few reviews in the window, next to the guy doing the cooking. It's number 77 Wellington Street.
