Mak Man Kee Noodle Shop (Chinese: 麥文記麵家), on Kowloon peninsula is a traditional Guangdong restaurant specialising in wonton noodle. It is located in Parkes Street, near Jordan MTR station in Hong Kong. It is considered a "must-stop spot" for the wonton noodle by The Essential Kowloon, and was awarded a star in the Michelin Guide in 2017. The business was founded in 1957 as a dai pai dong. It has since moved indoors, and celebrated its 50th anniversary in May 2007.Its recipe for the Cantonese noodles, hand-made using just flour and eggs (including duck eggs), is traditional, and has remained unchanged since the business was founded by the father of the current owner. The soup base is aimed to be tasty, without excessively drowning out the taste of the wonton noodles, and no monosodium glutamate is used.The "wonton noodle" is synonymous with wonton and noodles served in piping hot bouillon. However, the restaurant's menu includes combinations of noodles' accompaniments in addition to or instead of the traditional wonton, and which may be served in a bouillon, or dry (捞麵). A bowl of wonton noodles costs HK$21 as at June 2007, and aficionados are willing to travel some considerable distance to dine in relatively packed and spartan premises, and will often queue up outside in preference to nearby restaurants serving similar fare at about $10 a bowl. The restaurant received its Michelin Star in 2017.

Scout Association of Hong Kong

The Scout Association of Hong Kong is the largest scouting organisation in Hong Kong. Scout training was first introduced in Hong Kong in 1909 and 1910 by the Protestant based Boys' Brigade, Chums Scout Patrols and British Boy Scouts. The Catholic St. Joseph's College, formed its Boy Scout Troop in 1913, and registered with the Boy Scouts Association of the United Kingdom in 1914. The Boy Scouts Association formed its Hong Kong Local Association in July 1915 which became its Hong Kong Branch. After changes to the name of the United Kingdom organisation in 1967, the branch name was changed to The Scout Association Hong Kong Branch. In 1977, The Scout Association of Hong Kong was constituted as an autonomous association and successor to The Scout Association's Hong Kong Branch and became the 111th member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) in 1977. In 2008, the association had 95,877 uniformed members, with approximately 2700 Scout groups in the sections Grasshopper Scouts, Cubs, Scouts, Venture and Rover Scouts, making it the largest uniformed youth organisation in Hong Kong. The headquarters at the Hong Kong Scout Centre (香港童軍中心) in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon host the administration, headed by the Hong Kong Chief Commissioner (香港總監). The association runs campsites, including Gilwell Campsite (基維爾營地), Tai Tam Scout Centre (大潭童軍中心) and Tung Tsz Scout Centre (洞梓童軍中心), as well as hostels and Scout Activity Centres. It annually organises the traditional Scout Rally, providing Scout competitions and activities. For specific anniversaries, themed jamborees have been organised. The Scout movement is the largest uniform group in Hong Kong, consisting of more than 100,000 members.
