Mak's Noodle 麥奀雲吞麵世家

Nah…finally! Posting good food all the way from “The Island of Lights” - Hong Kong.

Recent trip to Hong Kong with just ONE thing in mind – Food! I’ve been doing my search on recommendations over numerous websites and food blogs. Then finally found one “openrice.com” HK site that has probably all eateries available in whole HK.

Due to time restrain, I had to pick and choose probably those suited my travel partner and I taste buds most. Feel free to use your wildest imagination to taste (with your eyes) below…

First off, the famous HK Wanton Noodle, Mak's Noodle 麥奀雲吞麵世家. They have been around for a long time since 1968 and pride itself with having been awarded with a Michelin guide recommendation (it is also one of the World's cheapest Michelin starred restaurant). 

Today, Mak's Noodle has several outlets in Hong Kong and Macau. We visited the outlet at The Peak. It is located just on the ground floor of The Peak Galleria. 

Okay, we ordered 1 bowl of Wanton noodle (HKD45 per bowl) and 1 bowl of dumpling noodle (HKD 45). We always start off with its soup, then the noddle and finally the wanton. We believe that the broth has been boiled long hours in bones and superior ingredients (its Wanton noddle in superior soup anyways) because the soup is just simply flavourful and sweet (the meaty way). The noddle? So fine, so springy, so eggy. Mak's Noodle Wanton Noodles are served in standard rice bowl. This is to prevent the noodles from absorbing all the broth and becoming soggy (I doubt the theory though). Each wanton contained 1 piece of prawn that was very fresh and crunchy. Moreover, it was wrapped in a very thin wanton skin that enhanced the crunchiness. Pork & Shrimp Dumpling Noodle was delicious too. The broth is similar to the one in the wanton noodles. The dumplings contained mined pork, shrimp, bamboo shoots and water chestnut. The dumpling was well marinated, very flavourful and crunchy.

There wasn’t any set meal at time of our visit so we ordered ala carte. Personally, small portion for guys esp for us from this part of Malaysia. The broth is too salty for us. Other than that, it’s worth to try.

Ambiance: 8/10 (air-con, credit cards)
Price: $$$
Food: 9/10
Verdict: Worth trying once if you happen to see any of its branch
