Yesterday was the last day in Hong Kong returned to Bangkok night. Had my last meal there and it has to be Hong Kong dimsum. Found this restaurant in a mall.

The most famous wanton noodle brand is probably the Mak name as it was believed Mr. Mak brought this to Hong Kong from his hometown in Guangdong. His decedents opened many noodle shops with the Mak name on their shops.

Along Parkes Road in Jordan there are 2 - https://goo.gl/maps/XvpSKxcYQnKwA3KT7

So which is better? Lets start with this

RmOFG6l.jpg


As usual Mak's noodles comes in a small bowl with 4 wantons

The soup is sweet and heavily flavoured, the wanton is full of prawns, noodle is thin and springy, I'd say its cooked to perfection

Next door

This sous is lightly flavoured, wanton is larger and the marinate is more flavourful, noodle is slightly bigger than the first

If one likes a heavier flavoured soup the first shop is the choice and noodles is thin and perfect too. But if wanton is important to you I'd say go for the second shop. Hell, just do both you will be happy. HK$36 per bowl.
