The must-try dish at Ho Hung Kee is of course the wonton noodles, which have won the gold medal in the noodle category of the "Greatest Food Award". The "Zhengdou" in the name of Zhengdou Fresh Shrimp Wonton Noodles means authentic in Cantonese. The bamboo noodles are springy and chewy, and it can be used in a noodle commercial where the noodles are shaken. The wontons at Ho Hung Kee are slightly smaller than those in ordinary tea restaurants, and can be eaten one at a time, but the skin is thin and the fillings are rich. The shrimp and lean meat are fresh and full, golden in color, and there are beautiful "goldfish tails". The soup base of Zhengdou Fresh Shrimp Wonton Noodles is made with bighead carp, which is refreshing and delicious. It is very comfortable to drink even without food, and people can't help but want to have another bowl.

This Michelin-starred restaurant, which started out as a street food stall, has captivated countless palates with its bowl of wonton noodles. This shop is located in Hysan Place, the DFS in Causeway Bay, and is easy to find. When I went, I had to wait in line, and it took a while to get in. The interior is decorated in Tiffany colors, giving it a refreshing and clean feel. The signature wonton noodles are a must-try. They are fresh, delicious, and incredibly tasty. The shrimp in the wonton noodles are carefully selected and large. I've never had the shrimp tofu skin rolls elsewhere, so I gave them a try. They were also delicious and not greasy at all—really good.

Ho Hung Kee was a recommended restaurant in the first season of "A Bite of China." Their signature wonton noodles are not only delicious but also embody the flavors of old Hong Kong. Ho Hung Kee has long lines, but the tables are quickly filled. It's said to be over 70 years old and holds one Michelin star. I've always had the dim sum and wonton noodles I've never tried in Hong Kong. The wonton wrappers are thin and chewy, the rice noodle rolls are soft and glutinous, and the chicken feet and spare ribs are also delicious. Recommended dishes: Zhengdou Shrimp Wonton Noodles, Stir-fried Beef Noodles, Shrimp and Tofu Skin Rolls, Boat Porridge, etc.

I originally went to Ho Hung Kee wanting to try the dry-fried beef noodles, but after much hesitation, I decided the portion would be too large and greasy, so I opted for wonton noodles and Zheng Dou Sheng Chang Ji Di Congee instead. I'm really liking the wonton noodles more and more these days; the broth is delicious, the noodles are juicy, and the flavor is just right. The Zheng Dou Sheng Chang Ji Di Congee is excellent, with two large pieces each of liver, intestines, and tripe. The texture is wonderful, and the congee is thick. It's a bit pricey, but being in Hong Kong, I figured it was okay.
