Mr Zhang's Kitchen

You'll find yourself on Myrtle Street in the thick of things—close enough to the Georgian Quarter that you can pretend you're somewhere fancy, but this place keeps it real. Mr Zhang's Kitchen is the kind of spot where locals queue up because the food's authentic and the prices won't leave your wallet weeping. The menu reads like a love letter to Cantonese classics: hand-pulled noodles, wok-fried vegetables that still have some bite to them, and dim sum that tastes like someone's mum made it. Service moves fast, the dining room's unpretentious, and there's absolutely zero faffing about with Instagram-bait plating.
