Mak's Noodle (Template:Zh) is a traditional Cantonese restaurant in Central, Hong Kong, specialising in wonton noodles.[1]
History
Dating back to the 1960s, the business is now in the run by Mak Chi-ming, a third-generation descendant of Mak Woon-chi (Script error: No such module "Lang".) who once served the dish to the President of the Republic of China Chiang Kai-shek.[2] It is claimed that the recipe has remained unchanged since Mak's grandfather's time.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
The restaurant has its roots in a Guangzhou eaterie established before World War II by Mak Woon-chi. One of his sons, Mak King-hung (Script error: No such module "Lang".), nicknamed Mak Ngan (Script error: No such module "Lang".) because he was extremely skinny as a child, started an open air food stall in Central in 1968 where his younger brother was the chef. The founder retired in 1983, and renounced his food stall license in lieu of HK$36,000 in compensation from the Hong Kong government.[3]
The founder's eldest son, Mak Chi-chung (Script error: No such module "Lang".), opened his own restaurant Chung Kee Noodles (Script error: No such module "Lang".), in 1986, while Mak senior partnered his son-in-law in 1989 to reincarnate his original business in Wellington Street. He ran the restaurant himself and retired again in 1996. The business was succeeded by his second son Mak Chi-ming, the current proprietor.[3]
In recent years, Mak's Noodle has established outlets at Olympian City, China Hong Kong City, Causeway Bay and Jordan, and one restaurant in Macau. Their first Singapore outlet opened on Orchard Road in the Centrepoint shopping mall, with by a second outlet at Westgate Shopping Mall in Jurong East.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
