Hong Kong Mak Mun Kee wonton noodles

by

Mak Mun Kee Noodle House – probably my favourite restaurant in Hong Kong. Discovered the place in 2007, visited twice again during the recent trip.

Mak Mun Kee is famous for its wonton noodles and pig trotters. Its shrimp wontons are huge, fresh, with bouncy texture and great flavour. Loved the pig trotters too, which are simmered with red-fermented tofu, a Chinese speciality.

The restaurant will still be on top of my list when I visit Hong Kong next time.

Mak Mun Kee is located at 51, Parkes Street, Jordan.

Stinky tofu, Mongkok, Hong Kong

Stinky tofu (臭豆腐) is a fermented bean curd that stinks. It’s an iconic Hong Kong street food, but it’s not that easy to find it these days. Luckily we still managed to spot (or smell) some eateries selling it in Mongkok…

This was my first try on stinky tofu. Most people who tried it before would suggest that it smells bad but tastes ok (or good), which was quite true. The deep-fried tofu was a bit too salty, but the texture was nice… crunchy on the outside and spongy in the inside. I kinda liked it actually.
