Dinner With Drinks

Chose the busiest hour to visit Wanton for lunch on their official opening day. Sat by the bar and caught all the actions in the open kitchen (rather messy and tad disorganized), but it's probably one of those newly opened jitters, totally understandable.

Waited about 15 minutes in total for my noodles to be served (that include my orders being taken). The noodles saved the day as it was cooked springy, with tender charsiew and add-on 5 minute egg were on point. The other highlights were the crispy lard and their house shiok chilli a must try.

Will I pay $5.50+ again for Seng's bowl of Wanton Noodles (U.P. $7 Roasted Pork Belly)? Yes I probably would.

Chicken skin crackling pairs well with a pint of ice cold beer. Though the food might need some work, the prices are very affordable (no service charge) and the bistro boasts a relaxed ambience to chill out with peers or loved ones.

If you like dining in the dark, the alfresco area will be a good option. However, I think that increasing the brightness will be preferred, as I still need to take pictures.

Here's a sneak preview of the lightly seared Scampi tail paired with toasted buckwheat and garden cucumber, a winning dish that I enjoyed the most during the dinner preview.

Once again, congratulations to the winner @rachelxie and thank you in advance for spending an Evening in Paris with Stephanie Le Quellec tonight.

Once you dig in, the only thing you'll be pinning for is an iced cold pint.
