Wong Chi Kei (Senado Square)
黃枝記
A historic noodle and congee shop at Senado Square, highly praised for its shrimp wonton noodles, making it a convenient stop while exploring the old town.
Located at 17 Senado Square, this is an iconic noodle and congee establishment with over 70 years of history, most famous for its Jook-sing (bamboo-pressed) noodles and shrimp wonton noodles. The wontons feature thin wrappers and large, springy shrimp, served in a clear, slightly sweet broth. Shrimp roe lo mein and water crab congee are also frequently ordered. However, reviews can be mixed; some diners in 2026 noted that the shrimp roe lo mein was a bit dry and clumped together, making the wonton noodles a more consistent choice. The restaurant spans two floors and can be quite noisy. Reservations are not accepted, and long lines are common during peak lunch hours, so off-peak visits are recommended. It is a short walk from the Ruins of St. Paul's.
Opening hours
Around 11:00 AM–9:00 PM (sources vary, with some records indicating a 9:30 AM opening; please double-check before visiting)
