Sing Heung Yuen

Sing Heung Yuen at 2 Mee Lun Street in Central is a dai pai dong style stall known for tomato-broth noodle soup. It sits on a small lane in the Central and Soho district on Hong Kong Island, close to Hollywood Road and Gough Street, and is popular with office workers at lunch. The cuisine is Hong Kong tomato noodle soup, a comfort dish in which noodles are served in a tangy tomato-based broth and topped with egg, beef, or luncheon meat. The signature dish is tomato soup noodles with egg, and diners often add buttered or condensed-milk toast as a side. Iced lemon tea is the typical drink, and the food and drink combination is a standard local cafe order. The setting is street-side and busy, with a casual layout, limited seating and a queue that forms at midday. There is no dress code, and the atmosphere is that of a working neighbourhood stall rather than a restaurant, with noise from the lane and from staff calling orders. The stall does not take reservations and works on a walk-in basis. Hours run from morning to late afternoon on Monday to Saturday and should be verified before visiting, since the stall is generally closed on Sundays. Prices are low, with a bowl of tomato noodles typically costing around HK$45 to HK$70 depending on toppings. The location is close to Central MTR station and the Mid-Levels escalator, and it combines easily with a walk through Soho and Hollywood Road. Visitors who want a simple, distinctively Hong Kong meal in a local setting often choose Sing Heung Yuen for the tomato noodle soup, and the shop is a long-standing reference point for this style of dish in Central.
