　　Founded in 1936, Foshan’s Yee Kee Fresh Shrimp Wonton Noodles have won widespread popularity for their unique preparation and flavor.

　　The noodles are made from premium flour, carefully blended and traditionally pressed using manual methods by skilled noodle makers. They are uniformly springy with a moderate thickness, offering a delightful chewy yet smooth texture with a rich egg aroma.

　　The fresh shrimp wontons are primarily made with minced pork, fresh shrimp, diced mushrooms, spices, and seasonings, all mixed evenly before wrapping. The wontons burst with juicy flavor and a strong aromatic taste. The broth is simmered over a low flame using pork bones, dried fish, and other ingredients according to traditional methods, resulting in a rich and savory soup.

　　Today, Yee Kee operates 14 outlets across Foshan, and the enticing aroma of its wontons can be found throughout the streets. Yee Kee’s fresh shrimp wonton noodles feature thin wrappers and thick, succulent shrimp filling—bright red shrimp meat is faintly visible under the translucent skin. The taste is crisp, sweet, and refreshing, though the price is nearly 50% higher than regular wonton noodles, at 6 yuan per bowl.

　　Renowned for its premium quality, Yee Kee Fresh Shrimp Wonton Noodles enjoy high praise among locals in Foshan and are famous across Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau. They have been featured in Foshan’s Commercial Annals and travel magazines. In 2000, they were recognized as a Chinese Famous Snack by the China Cuisine Association after evaluation in Yinchuan, Ningxia; in 2002, they were certified as a Guangdong Famous Snack by the Guangdong Cuisine Association; and in 2003, they were named one of Foshan’s Top Ten Flavor Snacks.
