I think I would come once in awhile if I did live in HK, but if you have limited time I say probably go somewhere else. With that said, I heard their tomato macaroni is good so that is what I got. My cousin got the satay macaroni which I had a bite of and personally thought that tasted better than the tomato macaroni. Still, they give you a good amount especially since it's such a combo deal. I actually really like their toast + egg + spam/ham. I would usually just put it in the toast then take a bite of it as other people might just prefer to eat all 3 separately. I know it isn't anything that special but somehow it tasted pretty good. Pineapple bread with butter: Even though I LOVE pineapple bread w/ butter, it was only okay. I like the fact that it was hot but I know they toasted it for me. Makes you know they didn't make the pineapple bread themselves since all I had was crunches when I bite into it. Pineapple bread w/ butter is best when the top of the bread is crispy and as you bite into it, you get the soft fluffy part of the bread and the butter. Regardless, they opened until 2 AM!!! It be a wonderful place to be at if you're actually a HK local.

Easy to miss for some reason and walked by this place several times before finding it even though I…read morewas using google maps. Very short wait. No instructions. Small hole in the wall and be prepared to share a table. Got flat white noodles with fried tofu and some other topping. The soup was brown and the aroma was great kind of like a five spice smell and taste but not overpowering. It was delicious. And cheap like $5. You get your check when you order and then you bring it up to pay in cash. This place is good and I think the broth is better than tsim chai kee. But noodles better at tck. Still though I'm too old for hassles and sharing tables and waiting. Takeout might be the way to go.

Apart from the typical name, there is nothing typical about their rendition on classic noodle soups like wonton and or beef brisket noodles. In fact, I dig it so much I tend to get both. At the same time. My go to combo of beef brisket and wontons have been an easy choice practically each time. The consistency of the tasty broth, as well as the tenderness of the brisket makes this a popular choice for virtually all patrons. A dash of hot oil and some scallions make this a fun late night bowl of goodness as well, though I tend to come here more often than not for a solid work lunch. While beef brisket and wonton is my personal favorite, just about any combination can be had here. I've seen people order ones with hard boiled tea eggs (茶蛋) and blood cubes (豬紅) or radish (蘿蔔) in the soup pile. At some point the noodles become overlooked, so instead of traditional wonton egg noodles, I try to see if they'll get me yee noodles or lo mein. Of the two locations in CWB, this one seems to be less crowded. Their sister spot on Sugar Street is also really popular, but I prefer coming here because I will always get a table at any time. They're both equally dingy but worth the visit for a reasonably priced meal. The service isn't much to rave about, but then again, there aren't many noodle spots that are. It's strictly cash only and better as a solo meal than a group outing.

After some shopping in the Central District ( Downtown Hong Kong ), stopped by this Noodle Eatery,…read moreI know its a chain store and I have no preconceived expectations at all, soon after we parked our car we walked to the restaurant, it was around 7ish, the place was humming! After checking out the menu board, decided on two items, both comes with a choice of drinks, opted for Cokes. Item one: Fishball & Fried Fish Stick (they call it Spring Roll), with Rice Noodles and a side of poached Lettuce with oyster sauce. Surprisingly, the fish balls were really good! Yes, not the kind you would expect from a chain restaurant, they are that good! The Fried Fish Stick was also very tasty but I like the texture of the fish balls better. Overall, a good bowl of Fish Ball Noodles! Item two: They call it: "Devilish Beef Hot Pot Combo"! They have a choice of soup base and I choose the Hot & Sour flavour, there are loads of ingredients: Slices of Beef (same grade of beef you would use for hot pot), Beef Balls, Beef Tendon, Beef Brisket, lots of bean sprouts, pickled mustard greens, tofu skin, and ground pork!! I almost can't find any space in the bowl for my noodles!! Yes, they do give you noodles, and its the kind that is used for "Yuen Nan" Rice Noodles. The whole thing was jam packed with flavours, a little spicy, a little sour, and a whole lot of beef!! For HK$96.00 approx. CDN$16.16, its a pretty good deal wouldn't you say? Especially, this is in the Central District where most of the iconic old time restaurants are located! So when you are in the neighbourhood, and feel like some quick fix for your hungry tummy, try out this noodle shop!! Hopefully, you will be surprised as I am about how good their food is!!

Ooh how I loved this bowl of noodles! My roommate who was a HK local showed me this spot and I…read moreimmediately fell in love. The noodles were perfectly chewy and absorbed the flavor of the soup deliciously. The soup had a sweet and sour like taste to it, which made it tangy and had a good balance. You can personalize what you add to the soup, and I added beef and fish cake to it--yum!! Very authentic broth, I'm so surprised that I only went once! Would for sure go back again!

Our concierge recommended this spot since it's only a five-minute walk from the hotel. When we…read morearrived, there were already about seven people lined up, which usually feels like a good sign, though you never quite know whether they're locals or fellow hotel guests following the same recommendation. The menu is written outside and very straightforward. You choose your protein portion (from one up to six kinds), any cow offals, then select your noodles -- egg, rice, flat, skinny, etc. There are also a few sides available, such as vegetables, deep-fried fish skin, and drinks. Service is extremely fast. As soon as you walk in, you can place your order, the soup is brought out quickly, and once you're done, you pay at the exit. Very efficient. Just remember that you will be sharing tables with strangers as this is part of the culture! Land is gold in HK! The soup itself was quite tasty, though a bit salty for my preference. The portion size was slightly smaller compared to similar noodle shops I've tried, but considering the price, it was still a satisfying meal overall. Cash only!

I don't think there's a time where Wing Kee (榮記) isn't packed full of people. The rush of Causeway…read moreBay doesn't always guarantee crowds in each spot, but this noodle house will always have a line at some point during the day. Even though I feel like their heydey was years ago, they have still managed to stay steady as a local favorite. It's as cramped as any eatery in HK, with a few stools along the wall and tiny tables for the occasional group slurp session. The staff is usually pretty on it and they're under the assumption that most folks walking in there know exactly what to order. As a result, all the menus are in Chinese, it's cash only, and the dishes run from $30-55 HKD at this point. Cart noodles (車仔麵) are a unique staple in these parts. It is a literal mixed bag of noodles (flat, thick, skinny, etc.), toppings (seafood, meats, organs, etc.) and broth. There are as many as 20 ingredients to choose from, but most get around 3 selections (三餸車仔麵) and I usually opt for beef brisket, a helping of radish, and some of their extra salty fried fish skins. I think everyone should just get a large mixed bowl of thick noodles (大雜粗麵) and shoot for pork neck and tripe. Locals love it, trust me. Don't be intimidated by the lines. People eat and go, so the waits are usually in the 5-15 min range. If you don't speak Cantonese, be prepared to show pics on your phone and expect to pay around $45-50 per person. There are other Wing Kee locations throughout the island, but this one on Sugar street will forever be their most popular one.

They have your classics like pork and preserved egg. But they also can add pretty much anything you want. For me, what stands out is the depth of flavor in just the base congee. Never have I had such a strong and impactful flavor from just a bowl of congee, even just the rice itself. My favorite was the fish belly congee with Chinese donuts (youtiao) on the side. Be sure to watch out for all the bones, and to add a bit of white pepper on top! Also the waitstaff yell across the restaurant at the chefs, giving you the full Hong Kong experience. Even if they seem a bit mean, do not be afraid! They are not truly angry; this is just how they express their thoughts (I hope).

What makes good Cantonese congee? We call it the "base", the way they cook the rice until it melts into the broth, creating a thick sticky broth filled with umami. If you can still see whole rice grains, that's not congee, that laziness. As per Hong Kong standard, if you order fish congee here, it will come with the fish bones and bits. Be prepared to have to pick them out. I do highly recommend the fish congee though, but the meatballs are not shabby as well. There isn't a lot of tables and there isn't a lot of service. In fact, the lady taking orders might yell at you. This is, of course, all part of the Hong Kong food scene charm.

They are known for their tomato soup base and you can choose the type of noodles and there's various toppings to choose from. I ordered their tomato macaroni soup with beef and spam. The soup is on the sour side and I would have liked it to be a little more savory and hearty. The macaroni was a little overcooked but that's basically Hong Kong cafe style. It came with 2 half pieces of spam, one of it was overcooked and dry, the other one seemed undercooked. The beef was decent texture wise but it didn't have much flavor. We also ordered their toast with condensed milk and the toast was over toasted and too crunchy to my liking. Overall, it's an unique experience but don't be expect the food to be superb. You also won't get over the top service but everyone was very courteous and friendly.

They have benefited greatly from the Central crowd and serve to be a destination for locals (and tourists). However, DPDs are endangered and it's important that we keep them alive. Expect a wait during most mornings and afternoons, as folks are here to enjoy their unpretentious food. Most folks are here for their tomato soup, but specifically the tomato macaroni with beef (蕃茄鮮牛肉通粉) and their crispy buttered up buns (奶油脆脆). Often times I like to switch their classic dish up with instant noodle (蕃茄牛肉麵) and the crispy lemon honey buns (檸蜜脆脆). Together they go hand-in-hand with a milk tea or lemon tea for a complete meal. If tomato is not your thing, than skip this place. Even as an authentic DPD / Hong Kong cafe, they lack a lot of variety. For the non-tomato folks, they have breakfast items like ham, eggs, luncheon meat, and corned beef for around $30HKD. It's not a bad option, but it's not worth waiting in line for just that alone. Even though the staff is not the most well versed in English, there are plenty of expats here who have made it work. Their menu is in both Chinese and English and the seating is extremely tight, outdoor (#1) only, and not conducive to groups. While the lines are fierce in the morning, they are usually moving quickly since many folks are doing takeout. At most, it's 30-35 folks at a time. Even though they are technically in Central, the best way to get here is to get off at the Sheung Wan MTR station and walk directly from the A2 exit. They close at 4:30 every day and are closed on Sundays. Expect to spend around $40HKD for a bowl of tomato'y goodness and just know it's cash only. __________ (#1) It is a dai pai dong after all.
