Hello! Hong Kong Top Pick | Lau Sum Kee Noodle
One of the 'Sham Shui Po Best 3', Lau Sam Kee must-try dishes include Shrimp Roe and Beef Stomach, and the Pickled Radish on the table is an unforgettable side dish.
Founded more than 60 years ago, this old-school restaurant still makes its noodles from scratch – a real rarity in Hong Kong. Second-generation owner, Lau Fat-cheong, carries on the family tradition of kneading dough with a heavy bamboo pole to create a firmer and more textured noodle. The restaurant’s lo mein (dry noodles) are a must-try, and are famously served with a massive portion of dried shrimp roe to give them a huge umami punch.
Signature dishes include Shrimp Lo Mein, Wonton noodles, Tossed Noodles with Dry Shrimp roe or Pork Knuckle.

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'.
