Wonton House
Well, the Chinatown part of Russell Street seems to coming good these days! A new restaurant has just openend up a couple of doors down from Noodle Kingdom where we have been getting our fix of Traditional Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup every couple of weeks - sometimes the noodles and sometimes the soup alone.
The new place is simply named ‘Wonton House’ after the chef’s specialty so that’s what we ordered. The Hong Kong-style congee was also highly recommended. We chose the traditional pork and century egg version but there is quite an extensive list of around 12 or 15 choices.
What can we say? Excellent golden wonton dumplings floating in a tasty chicken stock. The congee was smooth, warm and comforting and they didn’t skimp on the good bits.

This sounds absolutely delicious and I love the photo. Will have to head there soon.

thanks for the tip. It has gone onto my list. I haven’t had wonton noodles since living in HK … chinatown routinely disappoints me.

Stephanie, I hope that these live up to HK standards although I usually find it’s difficult to find places here that are as good (must be something in the water!). I don’t know the number but it’s along the strip where the grocery store, Japanese restaurant and Noodle Kingdom are. Between Lt Bourke and Bourke Sts.
Let me know how you go, Stephanie & Truffle!

That looks great. Melbourne has lots of great food places.
I miss it.
