Chun Kee at Wai Sek Kai

Dabu is a centre of Hakka culture in the Guangdong province of China, so it’s technically not wrong to call Chun Kee’s signature noodles Hakka mee. Chun Kee, now run by the fourth generation, has stood the test of time for more than 80 years, and their inclination towards simple food certainly shows. Served with soup dumplings on the side, Chun Kee’s homemade noodles are perked up with a generous portion of minced pork and lean char siew. It’s amazing what a stall under a shack can accomplish in such a rudimentary kitchen.
