Macau’s 73-year-old local noodle shop Wong Chi Kei was awarded two gold quality labels and a silver quality label at Monde Selection in Roma earlier this month for its traditional bamboo pole noodles – Yea Yea Noodle.
Wong Yu Fei, the grandson of the shop founder Wong Wun Chi, told a press conference yesterday at the MGM Macau Ballroom that Yea Yea Noodle (“Yea Yea” means grandpa in Cantonese) was an instant noodle product launched in 2016, with the package design illustrating the interaction between a grandfather and his grandson, which represents the memory between the young Wong and his grandpa.
Wong pointed out that his shop was the first local company to have received a gold quality label at Monde Selection and also was the first company from China to receive this honour.
