All About Mee

Revisited this Wanton Mee stall again (after 8 years!); they only open late at night (10.30pm - 3am) and the waiting time is always really long! Love the QQ texture of the noodles, and the fragrant sauce - it has that old school taste! The wanton mee also comes with char siew, mushrooms, shredded chicken and soup with wantons inside. It is a good plate of wanton mee and I understand why they have their fans, but I personally find that it is not worth the long waiting time. TBH, I can find other wanton mee of similar standards with shorter waiting times elsewhere.

It’s been 3 years since I last had the wanton mee here, and I’m glad to report that it’s still as good as ever! The price for a regular plate of wanton mee is now $6 ($1 increase from 3 years ago), but this is reasonable. The two stars of the show are the egg noodles that have a springy texture, and the char siew that’s fatty and well charred! The wantons are quite plump too!

I still remember wondering what the hype was all about surrounding Chef Kin HK Wanton Noodle (helmed by an ex-Crystal Jade chef), when they first opened in September at Yishun and people were standing in line for two hours to try their Wanton Noodles! 🙀

We tried their offerings recently at their newly opened outlet at Blk 59 New Upper Changi Road (where there was still a significant queue even after lunch hours), and while I won’t say that this is worth queuing 2 hours for, the standard of their food is certainly there!

We had their HK Wanton Noodle (Dry), HK Braised Beef Brisket Noodle (Dry) and HK Dumpling Soup. The noodles were excellent and very springy, and so delicious when tossed together with the savoury sauces! The Beef Brisket Noodles (beef was very tender) was my favourite out of the two plates! We enjoyed the HK Dumpling Soup too, which had plump dumplings generously filled with ingredients! Their chilli was a hit with us too; we liked that it was fiery and had lots of dried shrimp bits.

A third outlet will be opening at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4 on 14 December 2021, so good news for wanton mee lovers residing there!

Fans of the soup version of bak chor mee should be no stranger to this popular stall at Bedok 85 Food Centre. This stall and the stall next to them are probably the 2 most famous soupy bak chor mee stalls in Singapore, and featured here is the one from Seng Hiang. Honestly this is just a very simple bowl of noodles, but elevated by the comforting broth and nice tasty meatballs! I’m still team dry when it comes to bak chor mee, but whenever I have cravings for the soup version, this stall is one of my go-tos.

Looking to try something different from your regular Mee Hoon Kueh (MHK)? Check out Mr Mee Hoon Kueh for their interesting zhnged up varieties:

~Mr MHK Bolognese Fusion A (Fish Fillet & Cheese Balls)
~Braised Pork MHK
~Chicken Floss Fried Seafood Tofu
~Marinated Chicken Joints

Of the 2 zhnged up versions that we tried, my favourite one is the Braised Pork MHK – I love that the meat is soft and pretty tender, and drenched in a sweet sauce that goes surprisingly well with their homemade mee hoon kueh! I’d also recommend getting their Chicken Floss Fried Seafood Tofu too – the combination of chicken floss, sweet sauce and crispiness from the fried tofu all came together harmoniously to form a yummy side dish! Overall, I feel this is a decent option to check out if you’re nearby and want to try something different from the usual!

They are currently available for takeaway, self pick-up and delivery via GrabFood and foodpanda. (P.S. pics were taken when dine in was still allowed before the current P2HA)

Finally checked this off my to try list after seeing so many positive reviews online, and it certainly did not disappoint! The silky hor fun (flat rice noodles), coated in a rich and umami gravy, was thoroughly infused with wok-hei, while the raw egg also added a smooth finish to the overall taste once mixed in! Wanted to try the Baby Octopus in Soy Sauce (another one that’s highly recommended online) too, but it was sold out already that day. Will definitely return again to try!

Finally tried the wanton mee from this relatively new wanton mee stall at Golden Mile Hawker Centre after seeing so many positive reviews on it.

Verdict: I really enjoyed my plate of wanton mee! Everyone has been raving about the char siew here and I gotta agree with the reviews as their char siew is really yummy! Nicely caramelised and charred, the char siew slices had a nice mix of lean and fatty! I liked the noodles too, which had a nice firm bite and the broth / sauce was very savoury. Wantons were well-stuffed and tasted pretty decent too. Will I be back again? Definitely!

Had saved Laifabar in my to try list ever since I saw good reviews of their wanton Mee when they were at Scarlet Hotel. They have since relocated to Lucky Food Court at Lucky Plaza and I finally tried their wanton mee recently.

Overall, this was a yummy plate of wanton mee! The char siew was lean, tender and well caramelised, the egg noodles had a nice springy texture and the savoury sauce mix (with the chilli sauce) was delectable. I’ll definitely come back to eat this if I’m in town and craving for a good bowl of wanton mee.

Finally checked this char kway teow off my hawker to try list! We queued for around 1 hour for our food (cos uncle meticulously fry each plate of noodles one at a time), and I must say it was totally worth the wait (and calories too)! I dare say this is one of the best char kway teows I’ve tried so far in Singapore! My plate of char kway teow was moist and flavourful, with a very strong wok hei plus generous portions of everything (plump cockles, fried pork lard, noodles etc)! Simply delicious, I’ll be back again for sure!

Journey to the west to try this highly recommended (by my foodie friends) fried hokkien prawn mee from The NeighbourWok, that’s located at a coffeeshop in Bukit Batok.

I must say they were right, the fried hokkien mee here is really delicious, and I dare say it’s worth travelling all the way down here to eat this! The wok hei game is really strong here, and the noodles soaks up all the essence of the broth really well, giving it a flavourful and moist taste! This hokkien mee has pork belly, sotong, prawns, pork lard (lots of it) and sambal chilli, and the $5 portion is really generous. Come try it for yourselves!

Besides fried hokkien prawn mee, they also sell satay which I heard is pretty good too. Will order some to try next time when I’m back!

Discovered a pretty good fried hokkien mee stall in the AMK area recently. The fried hokkien mee style here is the wet style that I like, and the flavourful broth was soaked up perfectly by the noodles! Not forgetting the sambal chilli too, which packed a mild spicy kick!

Another must order dish is their Signature San Lou Beehoon, which was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Pair it with sambal belacan chilli for the best taste experience!
