chubbylover Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) Was recommended by a friend to try out this wanton noodle stall located at Hong Lim Complex Hawker Centre 2nd floor. Must admit that I was pretty reluctant and skeptical at the beginning. However, after trying out the noodles, the noodles texture is one of the best I have tried...and the wanton! THAT wanton...really leave behind a great fantastic impression. This noodle house is located on the 2nd floor of the hawker centre, #02-47. The owner said that the hawker centre will be closed for renovation in 3 months time, of which he will be taking a 1 year break before selling again at the renovated hawker centre.

cock brand Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Baloo, what the hell is his see you chicken wings? He sees you and then he cooks the chicken wings? What is he don't see you? Is the chicken wings still available? Wah liao, you and him got some kind of agreement is it? What other things he see you he cooks for you? Mee siam mai hum? I think what Baloo meant is "si yau', or soy sauce chicken wings. Its really got nothing much to do with seeing you or me or who.That store has got this very nice traditional dish - rice wine chicken w/ black fungus (mu er), something you cant find easily here. Its quite popular in Malaysia, especially in Ipoh. Here, together with pig trotters w/ young ginger in black vinegar, they are traditional confinement cooking for the cantonese.

Guest wanton Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Just had Ji Ji Wanton noodles for lunch, it is awful.I could not finish the $3 portion.Major peeve is the noodles... it is unlike springier thinner noodles (Hk style) used for wanton nooodles.The way its cooked, causes the noodles to clump together.The black used is not fragrant or savoury.But to be fair, the $3 portion is chock a block with ingredients.Personally, I'll recommend the Happy wanton noodles from Bukit Timah FC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin89 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Bukit Timah there also got 1 very the nice one!It's surrounded by the bungalow and think it's sort of shop house?It's before turning to Eng Neo there.

Guest 222 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Last time there used to be a very famous WANTON Mee stall at Tiong Bahru coffeeshop ie. the coffeshop facing the main road (whereby the current newly converted hotels are). It was managed by a cantonese couple and a daughter. They used to count the no. of noodles before cooking and its noodles (mixed with eggs) were very nice eg. those you eat in high class chinese/cantonese restaurants. It was LONG Q those days but it seemed that since the old couples passed away, the new generation sold off the shop. Any members know which shop I'm saying and tried the noodles before ?

GKS Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I miss the good wanton noodles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GachiMuchi Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Recently I started eating the Eminent Plaza Hawker Centre Wanton mee. It is expensive for hawker food standard but it is really nice. Although the look of the noodle is not anything to scream about but the noodles and gravy taste good. The only peeve is the long queue. Also tasted the noodle at Hong Lim Park Food court. Agree. It is nice.I missed the wanton noodles stall during my childhood days. The few stores around my old neighbourhood, like all other traditional papa & mama stores never really past on to the next generation. I still have fond memories of the taste but can never find any stores in Sg now that could come close to it, maybe except the Eminent Plaza store.

GachiMuchi Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Aiyah, taste is subjective lah. Anyway, I mentioned that the reason I liked the wanton mee there is because it reminded me of the old taste I had when I was young. The wanton mee in most of the stall nowadays are just chilli and ketchup. The traditional Cantonese wanton mee had a very crucial ingredient; the gravy. I remember it only when I saw that Eminent stall adds it to the mee, which in turns gave the wanton mee it's unique taste. I remember when I was a kid, I used to go to my neighbouring stall and the uncle there usually make his own mee by hand in the early morning and when he cooks the mee, beside having chilli, they will add some soup stock onto the mee. Also they will throw in the wanton into the pot and cook the wanton together with the noodle. The wanton will be fished out and later placed into the bow. The wanton will be floating like goldfish swimming in the small bowl. Nowadays, they cook the wanton and leave all the wanton on a plate and when needed, the wanton will then be put into the bowl and hot soup added, the wanton will be lumpy and the taste of the wanton is not hot sometimes even cold. Which irks me very much. Hated those lazy ways of cooking. Quote http://gachimuchi2008.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I tried and it is good. His son has opened a stall in Zion Road's corner coffeeshop next to the food centre.For those who like wan tan noodles, you can try Tiong Bahru market's Zhong Yu Yuan Wei Wantan Noodles. It is being prepared the way GM described in his last posting. Quote learn to see the sparkle in others. not just the flaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
