Back in Hong Kong for the final week of this first trip of 2026.
Takes more than just a few moments to readjust to prices outside of China Proper. Food in HK costs twice as much as in China, or at least seems to.
China continues to impress and amaze. The quality of food and service has vastly improved over the years, and dare I say, now SUPERCEDES Hong Kong in many aspects. . That said, it’s great to be back in HK and we will surely have a great stay and lotsa good eats.
I may be (am) biased, but Hong Kong dishes out the BEST WON-TON MEIN. Anywhere.

SAMDOR NOODLE on Pottinger Street in Central was a fantastic first bowl. Shared tables, unusually friendly service and just great all around.
Ping Pong Ball sized WON-TON packed with chunks of fresh bouncy shrimp.
Wife opted for the dry version. She remarked that the noodles tasted a bit bitter. That’s the trademark HK alkaline bite, duh!
CHOY SUM OYSTER SAUCE
Simple Goodness.
$16.29 Sticker Shock!!
Quintessential HK Noodle Shop experience. Come for the food, not the ambiance.
One of our table mates was digging into a bowl topped with some impressive sized Fish Balls. Looked so delicious.
