Mak Mun Kee Noodle House (麥文記麵家) is quite famous in Kowloon’s Jordan area for its dumpling noodles (雲吞麵; wonton noodle). It’s located at Parkes Street; just next to Australia Dairy Co. where we had our breakfast the same morning.
Wonton noodles
Me and my eldest sis went there for supper on our 2nd day in Hong Kong (Oct 2007). We ordered a wonton noodle and a bowl of pork trotters (braised with red fermented tofu; 南乳).
Their noodle was handmade with no preservatives… it was chewy, but a bit too chewy for my liking; my sister loved it though. The broth was mild but sweet; I heard that it’s made of some kind of fish stock.
Their pork trotters were excellent. The tenderness was cooked to perfection; and the taste of fermented tofu blended very well with the meat and fat. I am not sure if Westerners could stand the flavour of the fermented tofu though; even the Chinese have split ideas about it… it was kinda like a love it or hate it thing.
Cost of the meal was HK$40++ ($46 if not mistaken); opens from 12noon to 12.30 midnight.
Address: 51, Parkes Street, Jordan, Hong Kong.
