永華雲吞麵家 Wing Wah Noodle House .......... Wan Ton Noodle Specialist in Hong Kong Wan Chai

I haven't been the kind of person that likes to chat with taxi drivers but who else knows the best street foods than taxi drivers who have been prowling the streets all day long. My "half baked" Cantonese, caused some sniggering from HY and my sis-in-law but I still manage to get the taxi driver to reveal a gem of a restaurant in Wanchai, Wing Wah Noodle House. At about 11pm the place was still quite packed with people.

The rich coconut milk with a tinge of saltiness went

well with the sweet mango and sago cubes

While we were enjoying our dessert, we saw many people ordering hot steaming wan ton noodles that smell and looked delicious. We vow to return for the noodles. Wing Wah is known for their wan ton noodles too!

Shrimp Wan Ton Noodle 鮮蝦雲吞麵 (HK$27)

We can't help but peep at other people's wan ton noodle glistening

in the soup. So, we return for our own. The hand-made noodle were

spring-ily tasty. The wan ton were alright though.

Shrimp Dumpling Noodle 鮮蝦水餃麵 (HK$29)

Instead of having only wan ton noodles, we ordered a

Shrimp Dumpling Noodle. I thought the Shrimp

Dumpings were better than the wan tons.

Home made noodle for more than half a century.........

Mr. Lang has been making his hand made noodles with the bambo pole

for more than 50 years. It's no wonder his noodles were so "QQ"

(QQ is a colloquial for springiness or tanginess)
