Pan-fried
Pork Dumpling (Guotie, Potsticker, 鍋貼, $10 for 5 pieces) is smaller in
size than that in Shanghai restaurant. When you have to wait for 10
minutes before dumpling can be served to you, in addition to the juicy
stuffed pork inside the dumpling, it becomes more delicious.
Fish Ball $5 (6 pieces). Sweet sauce and spicy sauce are claimed to be
formulated by themselves. To me, the sauces are average only. Fish ball
is of the texture we usually have.
Mini
Wonton in soup ($10 for 10 pieces, stuffed with pork but no shrimp) is
cute and alluring in appearance. The wonton sheet is very thin and
becomes transparent when it is cooked fully. It is an item recommended
to order. There is a well balance in taste.
No diner is allowed to walk inside the shop. As it is too small, every
inch in the shop has already been occupied. Several tables (for outdoor
dining) are placed on the pavement.

Mak
Kee (MK) is a super-small snack shop in North Point. All diners have to
dine-out in the open area on the pavement, if you do not mind; or you
have to buy takeaway. When we are on the pavement , we know we are in the right direction as there are about 10 persons waiting on the pavement.
We
really do not mind the environment (provided the floor is not greasy
and there is no bad smell) if tasty foods are served. We order 3 items;
the bill is $25 (average per head $13). We are a bit regretted, as we
should order more items. It is out of our expectation that such a small
snack shop supplies tasty snacks. All Chinese dumplings (no matter
whether they are pan-fried or in soup) are freshly prepared in the shop.
This is also the main reason for the freshness and tastiness . We surely would have another try soonest.
