Michelin-Starred Noodles

If there is a must while in Hong Kong, it is to have a piping-hot bowl of wonton noodles. Causeway Bay’s Ho Hung Kee has earned a Michelin star from mastering these al dente egg noodles paired with wontons in consommé soup, but the spicy pork “ja jeung” noodles are also too tempting not to try. Paired with the same kind of wonton noodles, it was just flavorful enough without being too overwhelming of spices.
