Nominee for Best Food in the World #1: Won Ton Mien
I'd like to take a moment to talk about one of my favorite foods in the entire world. This is something that you can only really get in Hong Kong. It isn't expensive or particularly fancy, but it is a special treat for me. The food I'm speaking of is Won Ton Noodle soup. Nowhere but Hong Kong can you get this dish with the right juiciness in the dumplings and the right texture of the noodles: a little undercooked and a bit kinky. Not only is this dish delicious, but it is also one of the most affordable meals in Hong Kong. It pretty much goes on my list of top 5 perfect foods. Not to mention that these little shops that sell Won Ton Mien also have Coca-Cola in a glass bottle, which is the 2nd best way to have Coca-Cola (the best is a soda fountain) that really completes the treat.

That looks like Mak's noodles!
ReplyDeleteIf you want a fantastic bowl of noodles, go to: 1. Kau Kee on 21 Gough Street and get the fatty beef slices with e-fu noodles (27HKD). They will not disappoint.
2. Nam Kee Spring Roll Noodles (they're a chain - easiest to get to is out Wan Chai exit A1, straight ahead). Get noodle bowl #3 with soy milk (30HKD). The meat is impossibly tender and the broth and vegetables phenomenal.
Oh, yeah!
