The Backstory
A working-class staple that rose to fame in the 1940s. The 'Hong Kong style' is defined by the noodles' distinct snap and the broth's umami depth.
Local Secret
"Real wonton noodles are served in a small bowl with the spoon at the bottom to prevent the noodles from getting soggy in the broth."
