The front of the main stall displays a small hill of fried wantons and chicken cutlets... maybe will try the chicken cutlet next time...
I ordered the (min. price) $4 wanton noodles (云吞面) and it includes a small bowl of soup with 3 wantons... The bowl has the rest, including noodles, fried wantons, char siew, mushroom slices, vegetables... (the small plate at the bottom is green chillies in vinegar)...
The soup is quite different from what I normally eaten at other places. It leans slightly towards the sweet side (though still savoury), and my guess is the soup uses ikan bilis as base, not very sure though... The wantons in the soup looks slightly bigger than the normal ones you will normally find in other stalls, and the quite well-marinated meat fillings has a good tinge of pepper to bring out the flavour... not bad... The 3 fried wantons are similar except for the skin texture... The noodles are GOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!! I am so afraid of such noodles which are slightly thicker than the normal ones, but they turn out to be so good! The texture is chewy (think of the hand-made noodles) and springy, has a nice flour flavour... They really live up to their "noodle specialist" name... The sauce is supposedly the dark soy sauce based, and is VERY fragrance, though again is slightly towards the sweeter side though still savoury. Though, after I finish the noodles, I find the bottom of the bowl is a bit oily, perhaps a bit too much oil is used in the sauce. This however, does NOT change my opinion that the sauce is GOOOOOD!!!!! (I mean, a little bit of oil only)... I particularly like the braised mushroom slices, which is braised to nice flavour yet not too tough when chewed... nice.... The char siew is definitely above average, and can taste the meat's own flavour! But perhaps I had tried before some solid char siew, so I personally don't really find it to be special or such... Notwithstanding, the char siew is considered good really... The vegetables are not so good though...
strangely the soup taste a little more saltier at end of my meal... not sure why... maybe my taste buds had ran away... hahahaha... Overall, a very satisfied meal, 2 thumbs up!!!
As I wanted to finish my breakfast with a good cup of kopi (coffee), I walked around level 2 and saw this kopi stall...
Turns out they serve GOOD kopi-O!!!! Viscosity is just nice, not the watery type nor the super thick type... very very fragrance... definitely in my top 3 kopi-O list ...
Looking forward to my next trial at Hong Lim Market and Food Centre next time... maybe will try the Ah Kau Bar Chor Mee or perhaps the Ma Bo Lor Mee...
