Finding Authentic Wonton Noodles

fmd_good Hung Hom

I'm heading to Hung Hom next week, and everyone keeps raving about the wonton noodle shops. Seriously, it's all anyone talks about! But they all seem to blend together in photos. Is there a secret,… more

Forget the photos. Hung Hom's wonton noodle scene is all about word of mouth. Look for places with a line snaking out the door, even if it's a small, unassuming shop. The longer the line, the better the noodles, usually. Don't be afraid to venture off the main drags; some of the best places are tucked away in residential areas. And trust your gut – if a place feels busy and lively with locals, it's probably worth a try. You'll know it when you taste it; that perfect balance of broth, noodles, and wontons is something else entirely. Happy hunting!

That's great advice! I've always been a bit wary of relying solely on photos – they can be deceiving. The "line-out-the-door" test is a solid one. I'll definitely ditch the main tourist paths and explore those residential areas. Thanks for the tip about trusting my gut too; sometimes you just know a place is the real deal. Excited to try some authentic wonton noodles now!

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
