Wong Ming Kee
You know when sometimes you just crave and need a bowl of soupy noodles? Well, Wong Ming Kee in Kowloon City is definitely my go-to. I've been going there since I was young—so much so that the shop ladies already know my order! "Cuttlefish ball, flat noodles with seaweed" (墨魚丸河加紫菜 / 紫菜墨丸河), with their famous spicy oil always satisfies my cravings.
