Mak Man Kee Noodle Shop - @@

After a bunch of suit shopping we were walking around HK for a bite to eat. I have brought this up before but it actually can be somewhat of a chore to find a restaurant to go to in HK due to the vast amount of options. Crazy and counter intuitive but it is similar to Costco selling only Heinz ketchup. That's all you get and that's what you'll have. No options so no decisions. In HK, especially in Tsim Sha Tsui, there is stuff everywhere on the ground floor and even more if you look up! I sometimes forget that there is more stuff than just the ground floor establishments in this densely packed area. Anyways Chris was able to load up yelp and had this place that had good reviews. With his gps, we had no problems finding it.

Going in it is a normal small local HK eating establishment. There was a line at like 2 pm so that was good. We were then seated in a booth with a random old lady on the other side, completely Asian style. Food was ultimately ok, I have determined that I don't love Asian brisket and I knew I didn't love noodle soup. I think it's the five spice seasoning that I don't love with the brisket cause I love the cut. The seasonings were strong (like they should be usually with this dish so don't want to hold that against them). The greens were good but not memorable. Overall a normal HK eatery that did not stick out to me that you can try out if a) you can find it and b) if you are in the area. I would try something else next time. Also there is an English based menu if I recall.
