you used to be alright

the perfect meal

i happen to think the perfect meal is a bowl of wonton noodles. and i think there’s two perfect examples of an ideal bowl, thankfully located right across the street from each other in central district in hong kong on wellington street.

for most of my life, i believed that tsim chai kee with its signature giant oversized wontons and cheap prices was my favorite small snack restaurant in the world. while the people over at chowhound and my mom argued more in favor of the favorite of both the rich and famous and time magazine/fodor’s and gosh near everyone else – mak’s noodles. luckily these two restaurants are located 20 feet away from each other.
