My hotel’s check-in time was 12 p.m., so I arrived at the hotel exactly at noon. I was tired because I hadn’t slept in a bed the previous night. So, I took a nap for about an hour. After that, I went to Tsim Sha Tsui station to get an Octopus card and took the MRT to Jordan (佐敦).
As soon as I arrived in Jordan, I headed straight to Mak Man Kee Noodle Shop (麥文記麺家). As the name suggests, this is a noodle shop, and their shrimp-filled wontons are especially popular.
The menu? Noodles, noodles, and more noodles… Although the menu inside is written in Chinese, there are English and Japanese menus available at the entrance. If you need one, just ask. But I didn’t need a menu—I had already decided what to order before my trip! :p
Here it is: tiger prawn wonton noodles in soup. The small bowl contained four pieces of wonton! When the dish was served, the wontons were hidden beneath the noodles, so I lifted them to the top. As you can see, these wontons are packed with plump, springy prawns!
The soy sauce-based broth paired perfectly with the firm, thin egg noodles. The soup was rich with flavors from dried flatfish and pork bone. The wontons were absolutely incredible—I had never eaten such delicious prawn wontons before! I’ll never forget this taste. The soup was so good that I drank every last drop! :p
The shop is quite narrow, and walking between tables can be a bit challenging. But it’s worth visiting. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!

So jealous! I’ve not been to Hong Kong since 2019 and I miss the won ton noodles there! Tsim Chai Kee and Mak’s Noodle are in Central on Wellington St and they’re great.
There’s a shop in Kowloon I visit each time I’m in Hong Kong up in Cheung Sha Wan. It’s called Kwan Kee Bamboo Noodle and it’s 3 blocks from the Cheung Sha Wan MTR. https://guide.michelin.com/en/hong-kong-region/hong-kong/restaurant/kwan-kee-bamboo-noodles-cheung-sha-wan
