Mak Man Kee
No one is here for the no-frills interior, typical of any noodle shop in Hong Kong. This 60-year-old establishment is all about Cantonese wonton soup noodles – firm and bouncy prawns, visible through the paper-thin translucent skin, with springy duck egg noodles swimming in a flavourful broth. The serving size isn’t the most filling so you may want to order their pork knuckles braised in red taro curd on the side.
Signature dish: Shrimp Wonton Noodles which the soup is boiled for 5 hours.

UNDERSTANDING THE MICHELIN AWARDS
STAR: Coveted by many chefs but bestowed upon only to an excellent few. Getting a star (or three) could change the fate of a restaurant.
BIB GOURMAND: Good quality, good value cooking.
Not quite a star, but most definitely not a consolation prize, the Bib Gourmand is a just-as-esteemed rating that recognizes friendly establishments that serve good food at moderate prices.
PLATE: Fresh ingredients, carefully prepared: a good meal.
In 2016 a brand new L’assiette or The Plate symbol was launched to recognize restaurants that 'simply serve good food'.
