central · 77 Wellington Street, Central, Hong Kong
Mak's Noodle on Wellington Street is the canonical Hong Kong wonton shop, with shrimp wontons in clear broth and springy duck egg noodles, at the Central.

Mak Man Kee on Parkes Street in Jordan has been hand making wonton noodles since 1957, using a duck egg and flour recipe unchanged for three generations.

causeway-bay · 1 Matheson Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong
Crystal Jade in Causeway Bay's Times Square is the canonical Hong Kong stop for hand pulled la mian and Shanghainese xiao long bao folded to order.
Tip: Walk past the xiao long bao to the la mian; the lamb soup version is the underrated pick.
