講開又講， 大家覺得一碗雲吞麵會唔會唔夠飽?  但係無理由叫 2 碗架

The wonton noodle at Mak Un Kee is fit for skinny HK girls, not to compare with Hon's

I can only afford to go to MUK  once in a while,  Wonton Noodle Saga use too much MSG,
gives me headache and insomia.  The Ho Yuen Kee on Fraser Street is not bad a choice.

It is more affordable for old Chinese Canadian like me;
Mak Un Kee  is good but I would need to order 2 servings

Buy a bottle of Koon Yick Wah Kee chili oil and bring it along

I have both brands  in my cupboard, but I think  KYWK is more consistent since they
own many  maga chili farms in China. Try their curry powder and Kwai-Lin chilli sauce.
I like the Penquin Brand oyster sauce thou. Forget about LKK

I  have no doubt that they are good, I just said they are expensive for average
Vancouverites, especially  old cake  like me

u mean their chilli sauce is actually KYWK "guai lum" chilli sauce?

I haven't been there for a while, so much MSG make me headache. They have a
break-away shop at Henderson Place Coquitlam too.
An insider told me that they used KYWK products extensively, maybe they got a deal
with the Tam's family. It would definitely cost more but it is a reliable brand, even they moved the plant to Dai-Lin. Here I'm talking about the chilli product, not the shop, which I do not favour.

Aging problem,  MSG causes me  insomia and splitting  headache.
Maybe just me.

so between 麥奀記 and "Michigan" which one is better? Or very similar?
I still haven't been to "Michigan" cos of their weird English name.

Both of them claim to be the direct heir of the original shop in HK.
Mak Un Kee has been around for a while, the Saga also claims their root from the same family but their portion size is more Canadianized, the problem is the heavy
hands on MSG. The 2 you mentioned are both good,except the portion size. it is my problem being OLD CAKE.
