Wong Chi Kei

The Almost-Lost Craft of 0.7mm Noodles

Wong Chi Kei carries on the traditional noodle-making artistry of Guangdong, using large bamboo poles to repeatedly press and knead the dough into ultra-fine shrimp roe noodles just 0.7mm in diameter. These silky strands are as thin as silver threads—bouncy, smooth, and almost dancing in your mouth as you chew. This pursuit of perfection has earned Wong Chi Kei the prestigious Monde Selection Gold Award—often dubbed the “Oscars of the food world”—for four consecutive years.
