Mak’s Noodle: a Michelin star restaurant with great prices

Mak’s Noodle. Victoria Peak, Hong Kong.

Mak’s Noodle is an unassuming restaurant among the swanky restaurants at The Peak Galleria. I read that Mak’s Noodle had a Michelin star, so I knew I had to try it.

After being seated, I surveyed the menu and decided to go with the basics: the wonton with noodles in soup and Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce. The meal came with tea for free.

The soup was very tasty. The egg noodles were al dente. The wontons were well-seasoned with shrimp, pork, and mushrooms. The broth was satisfying. Chinese broccoli is one of my favorite vegetables (and is hard to mess up). The steamed Chinese broccoli didn’t disappoint.

That meal was 72 Hong Kong dollars, which is 9 American dollars. Note: you should bring cash, since the restaurant doesn’t take cards. It was a great deal for lunch anywhere in Victoria Peak, but especially for a Michelin star restaurant. However, the best noodle soup that I had (and I tried many during this trip) was the ramen I had in Tokyo.
