Lao Wen Zhou Hun Tun Dan

This shop dates back to 1891; its founder made nightly rounds with wonton soup hanging from a bamboo pole carried on his shoulder. It is now run by the fifth generation owner who still makes wontons like his great-great grandfather did. The skin is translucent and velvety, the pork filling is lightly seasoned to highlight natural flavours, the broth is crystal clear with winey sweetness, while laver and shiitake add depth and umami. A simple treat that everyone enjoys.
