Sun King Kee Noodles Shop

This family-owned eatery near the mouth of the Central wet market is renowned for its fish-slice noodle soup. Add fish balls, rich beef brisket or crispy fish skins and the simple broth turns into a tasty meal. The pungent Chiu Chow chilli sauce is so good, customers used to smuggle it out in their handbags until the owners got savvy and started selling it at $40 a jar.
