No discussion about Hong Kong’s historic noodle shops would be complete without mentioning Ho Hung Kee, an authentic Hong Kong-style congee and noodle shop, which originally opened in Wan Chai in the 1940s and is famed for its springy wonton noodles and fresh, sweet soup. Some highlights from the restaurant's menu include the stir-fried beef noodles, shrimp pomelo skin and wonton noodles.

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.

In business for over 20 years, this shop is famous for its snake soup. While most people consume snake soup only in winter, the owner formulates a different herbal base for every season to make it a healthy tonic all year round. The shop also sells home-style fare according to the season, like glutinous rice and lamb stew in winter. Double-boiled soups are popular, but need pre-ordering. The adventurous should try the snake wines.
