Being on the Michelin Guide in 2017 and with over 60 years of history, 𝗠𝗮𝗸 𝗠𝗮𝗻 𝗞𝗲𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗽 has gotten a name for its juicy and flavourful tiger prawn wontons and its firm and springy noodles. There is nothing fancy to be found here; but a place with homely comfort food with a strong execution, all cooked by the owner-chef Lesley Mak from his little kitchen corner. Going from a street stall to a shop, the establishment still sticks to handmade noodles made with flour and duck egg to give a smoother texture, and cooked al dente with no alkaline taste. On appearance the portion size may not seem much for its price, but the 𝗗𝗿𝘆 𝗡𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗶𝗴’𝘀 𝗞𝗻𝘂𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗲𝘀 shines with its generous portion of braised meat, tender to the bite and rich with collagen. The egg noodles could do with a little more gravy or condiments as it at times got too dry, but its springy texture hits the nail right on the head. Down to the side of vegetable, offered in several types, in this case the 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗮𝗯𝗯𝗮𝗴𝗲, tossed in oyster sauce, tasted fresh and cooked just right to complement the main noodle dish. Highly recommended to order together, as the HK-style noodles might get a little too starchy midway through. Like many restaurants in this tourist-centric region of Hong Kong, the seating area is small and intimate, but what shines is the touch of service by its staff. But it is comforting to see simple, Chinese local dishes with a slice of nostalgia.
