Suggested itinerary
See each day's route, highlights, background and stay together in one place.
Check that the shop is open and find the Jordan Station exit. Save the route from the shop to Temple Street after your bowl of wonton noodles.
Order the basic wonton noodles first. Be ready to share a table and for quick turnover. If the line is long, switch to another noodle shop in Jordan.
After a hot soup meal, cut back on night market snacks and take a short walk toward the station nearest your accommodation.
Places and meals
A starting point for wonton noodles, followed by a walk around Jordan and Yau Ma Tei.
Google MapsHow to fit it in
Have lunch near Jordan Station and walk along Nathan Road toward Yau Ma Tei, or go for an early dinner before Temple Street. Expect a small bowl, but don’t leave yourself overly hungry just to save room for night-market snacks. This place suits people looking for clear broth and springy thin noodles rather than thick brisket broth. If portion size matters, check the prices for extra wontons and toppings before ordering.
Reality check
Mak Man Kee is at 51 Parkes Street in Jordan. Save the address and walk from Jordan Station. Don’t confuse it with Australia Dairy Company nearby or mix up their signs and entrances.
Allow 25–35 minutes for a bowl, plus 20–40 minutes to wait at peak times. If the line is longer than 30 minutes, don’t cut into your night market time just for noodles.
Start with one bowl of wonton noodles. Soup noodles, dry noodles, and extra wontons may have different prices, so check the on-site menu for each item before ordering. Don’t present prices from older reviews as current.
Sharing tables and quick turnover are normal. Leave large bags at your accommodation and keep walkways clear.
If plans change
Switch to another wonton noodle shop in Jordan and keep your Temple Street route.
Small tip
Start with the basic shrimp wonton noodles to try the springy egg noodles and wontons together. Loosen the noodles and eat them before they sit in the broth too long. If the broth’s dried flounder aroma is unfamiliar, go easy on the vinegar and seasonings at first.
Final check before departure
- Walk from Jordan Station to the shop, then choose one direction: a bus along Nathan Road or Temple Street.
- Allow 30 minutes for a bowl and up to an hour including the wait. If it takes longer, switch to a nearby noodle shop.
- Check the price of basic wonton noodles first. Adjust add-ons and drinks to fit your night market snack plans.
- Don’t bring large bags into the small seating area. If ingredients are sold out or sharing a table isn’t possible, go to another option in Jordan.
- Decide whether the basic wonton noodles or extra toppings come first
- Check for shrimp or pork allergies
- Save the walking route toward Yau Ma Tei after your meal
Check the Michelin restaurant listing for the 51 Parkes Street address and opening information for your visit date. Follow any on-site notice about temporary closures or last orders. If it’s closed, eat somewhere else in Jordan.
