Hot on the heels of Mon Kee cafe's opening announcement, Mak Man Kee Wonton Noodles — another famous name in Hong Kong — revealed that it will open its first overseas venture in Singapore.
This will be done in collaboration with Singapore's Joy Luck Teahouse, the brand shared on Wednesday (July 2).

Here, diners can feast on Mak Man Kee Wonton Noodles' iconic noodles as well as wontons that are packed with prawn filling. A prawn and chicken wonton variation will also be available for the Singapore menu.
Apart from that, there are other dishes like the brand's popular Zha Jiang Mian, served with chicken in a braised sauce.
Beyond Mak Man Kee Wonton Noodles famous noodles, the eatery will sell Joy Luck Teahouse's signature snacks, including its Egg Tarts in puff and cookie crusts, which come in new flavours like Lychee and Pandan.
There will also be Bolo Buns, which come in both sweet and savoury versions like butter, luncheon meat and chicken char siew. For a sampler, diners can order the Hong Kong Three Treasures set with a Bolo Bun, Cookie Egg Tart and Hong Kong Milk Tea.
Speaking to AsiaOne, a spokesperson from Joy Luck Teahouse shared that their founder, Robert Chua, chose to collaborate with Mak Man Kee Wonton Noodles because he wanted to bring in "the best of Hong Kong" and Mak Man Kee was a "natural fit".
The collaboration had been in the works for about a year, with extensive discussions and efforts to convince the owner, Lesley Mak.
Joy Luck Teahouse and Mak Man Kee Wanton Noodles also plan to have more collaborative outlets in the future and Mak Man Kee Wonton Noodles will be a permanent addition to Joy Luck Teahouse’s menu moving forward.
Mak Man Kee Wonton Noodles' started out as a mobile cart along Hong Kong’s Temple Street in the 1940s before opening a physical store at Parkes Street in 1957.
Today, its Hong Kong branch are visited by celebrities like Charmaine Sheh and Dicky Cheung. The brand also has been a Michelin Bib Gourmand awardee for eight consecutive years since 2018.
Joy Luck Teahouse was founded by Robert, a Singapore-born TV producer who has been a household name in Hong Kong for more than five decades.
At the age of 67, he ventured into the F&B industry to share his love for Hong Kong cuisine with Singapore.
