Mak's Noodles on Wellington Street is the institution-grade wonton noodle shop, open since 1968 and looking more or less unchanged. The bowl is small — this is by design, the standard portion being sized so the noodles don't sit long enough to overcook — and the price is higher than most competing shops, a fact that offends some regulars and reassures others. What you get is: fat wontons filled mostly with prawn, hand-pulled egg noodles with precisely the right resistance, and a pale broth built on dried shrimp roe and pork bones. Come for breakfast or early lunch before the queues form.
