Graffiti Cafe (NEX)

📍Graffiti Cafe @ NEX

Ambience: 5/10 ❤️❤️🤍🤍🤍
Flavor: 7/10 ❤️❤️❤️🤍🤍
Service: 6/10 ❤️❤️🤍🤍🤍
Overall: 18/30 ❤️❤️❤️🤍🤍

On a late Monday afternoon, I visited Graffiti Cafe at NEX, which is located right beside Serangoon MRT station Exit E.

I ordered (1) Set B (Wanton Noodles, Water Chestnut Drink, and a Soup), and (2) Ah Balling (Longan Soup).

Graffiti Cafe offered a very good bowl of wanton noodle that is flavourful, filling, and affordable. The fried wontons are very crispy, the noodles are Q, and with each bite, the noodle that is infused with the tomato sauce makes me want to go back for more. The Ah Balling also impressed me as well - chewy and comforting. My only complaint is that the Water Chestnut is way too diluted. It felt like I was drinking a Water Chestnut drink with ice that had been left under the sun to melt for 20 minutes.

For that, I give Graffiti Cafe a 7/10 for Flavour.

As for the ambience, Graffiti Cafe is a decent spot for a very quick meal alone, especially when you are running short of time. The area is quite cramped and if you do visit during peak hour, it can feel like you are squeezing with the rest of the diners.

For that, I give Graffiti Cafe a 5/10 for Ambience.

The food collection area is not well-planned out as it is situated in the middle of a very cramped store right in front of a sitting area. Given that it is such a cramped area, it does not give the diners and people who are taking-away much area to walk. The queue display system is also placed such that you can only view it when you are standing near it. As a result, people who are taking-away their food are forced to cramp around the collection point in the middle of the store, causing a lot of congestion and blockage for other diners who want to walk pass the area - such as to collect their utensil (which is again, poorly designed as it is placed near the cramped collection point which induces a lot of blockage). The staff on the other hand are actually relatively pleasant and friendly!

For that, I give Graffiti Cafe a 6/10 for Service.

Overall, Graffiti Cafe at NEX scored an 18/30 after combining the scores for Ambience, Flavour, and Service. To conclude, Graffiti Cafe is a comforting place for a quick meal if you are craving for an affordable yet delicious bowl of Wanton Noodle and Ah Balling.

Good & simple wanton mee. Only $5.5 for a set which includes a drink. I like that it comes with both soup and fried wantons. The fried wantons are good, worth considering buying a portion to share.

I am a little confused 🤷‍♀️ about this cafe that’s named graffiti cafe . True enough , there was graffiti on the walls but there is really nothing funky about the food - it was just pure , unadulterated traditional wanton noodles.

Having said that , they do a pretty good bowl of wanton noodles . The texture of the noodles are so QQ and so smooth and the char siew is well flavoured and lean.

It seems that this wanton noodles plus hot dessert or hot drink set seem to sit well with Singaporeans. From the time I sat and ate, the queue never did stop - you can see how popular this wanton noodle cafe run by the Pontian wanton noodle group is .

For 5.50 net for this set , I would say it is value for money and the I definitely had my wanton noodle craving satisfied ( in cool air con comfort in this absolutely hot 🌞 weather ).

I would say that the green bean soup was pretty well prepared too - a simple dessert but not many do it well . It was sufficiently sweet and served very hot and importantly , not diluted at all 😊.

For a fuss free and pocket friendly meal - this is a pretty good choice .

This place is quite a hidden gem to me and it's really unassuming- close to the circle line mrt in Nex and really convenient for a quick bite. You'd only realise if you look closer that their noodles are actually Pontian wanton mee!

Their wanton mee is really good, and they're very generous with 3 fried wantons and 2 other steamed wantons in the soup! The black sauce isn't overly salty and sweet, and they use egg noodles, that I prefer over the other type of wanton noodles used sometimes that are more rubbery in texture.

It closes around 10 to 1030pm!

Claim origin from potian. The food is alright. The texture of the noodle is good. However she was let down by poor service. Indeed of telling customer that their food is ready for collection, the staff shouted at the customer why never check number this and that. Hope this can be improved. •
