For the first meal of our recent trip to Hong Kong, we passed by this wanton noodle shop near our hotel. There were some celebrity photos and newspaper articles at the shop front so we thought, it can't be any bad.
There's a decent variety of dishes to choose from, and being our meal, we decided on wanton noodles and dumpling noodles, one dry and one soup.
Little did we know this eatery was actually listed in CNN Travel's Top 5 noodle specialists in Hong Kong! The noodles here are handmade traditionally, kneaded with bamboo. What I couldn't figure out was how come their dry noodles (HKD62; approx. SGD10.30) cost twice as much as their soup version (HKD38)! Their gravy for the dry version is simple - Lee Kum Kee oyster sauce. Perhaps the sauce cost a lot? S$10 for a plate of wanton noodles in HK?! That's more pricey than Crystal Jade.
The dumplings were filled with real stuff, as you can tell from the photo. The wantons were also pleasing from the first bite. Although the noodles had the springy texture to it, I found the dry version a bit soggy.
