I have always wanted to try Winton world because there are over twenty different types of wontons.
Winton world is located in Shau Kei Wan far from the city.
The street that it is located on has so many eateries and Winton World is right at the end of that road that you need to resist trying other restaurants before you reach it.
The restaurant is quite small with about four tables.
As this place was serving local food I did not expect there was English on the menu, but there was an English menu, and not bad translated either.
There were so many types of Wontons that I have never imagined of because it is usually pork with prawns or chives/spring onions.
It was interesting because they have combined clams and oysters with pork in the wonton.
They even have one made with intestines and liver.
Winton World was quite flexible with their orders, they let you choose two different types of Wontons in a portion and charge you the more expensive price if the two that you chose cost different.
When the Wontons arrived, they were quite small and cute.
The sizes of the Wontons were about 2.5cm in diameter.
They were all uniform in size and uniformly wrapped.
Since there were more than twenty types, I chose the ones that I thought were interesting.
There were wontons with abalone but it was cheaper than the ones with clams. Judging by the price, they probably used mock abalone shreds in it.
In the end I ordered: egg, tomato and pork, preserved egg and coriander, egg yolk, clams, oyster, crab and pork and Jellyfish.
I do not recommend dipping the wontons in Chilli sauce because you won’t be able to taste the different elements in the Wonton, and if you order the egg and tomato one, to try that one first.

Egg, tomato and pork
This one has the lightest flavour compared to the rest I have chosen, so I ate this one first.
I really liked the tomato and egg with the pork. There is a similar one served at Wang Fu, but it is the dumpling version.

Preserved egg and coriander:
The preserved egg was slightly hard, and it was tasteless compared to the rest.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Egg yolk and pork:
I really liked this one as well, it reminded me of the Chinese meat patties with salted egg yolk.
The egg yolk was nice and salty giving the pork flavour, and the texture of the yolk was starchy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Clams and pork
I have never imagined clams with pork, but the clams they used have been salted so there was a strong brine taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Oyster and pork
Again this was similar to the clam and pork wonton, the oysters were fresh, and this had the strongest taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Jellyfish and pork
I didn’t expect the Jellyfish to have significant taste, but the Jellyfish wontons were too salty, and the Jellyfish was very hard and chewy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Crab and pork
This was the most expensive wonton, but there was real pieces of crab meat in it. I was not sure if there was meant to be any crab roe, but the Chinese name seem to imply there are some inside.
