Wonton noodles · Hong Kong
Wonton noodles in Hong Kong are shrimp wontons with thin springy duck egg noodles in a clear pork and dried flounder broth, served small with a side of chilli oil and pickled green chillies.
Wonton noodles travelled from Guangzhou to Hong Kong with Cantonese migrants in the early 1900s. Mak's Noodle on Wellington Street and Mak Man Kee in Jordan both trace back to a Guangzhou wonton maker named Mak Woon Chi, who pioneered the small bowl format. The duck egg noodle (no water added) gives the bouncy texture that defines the bowl, and dried flounder bones flavour the broth.
