Wanton Mee (Blk 326 Woodlands)

Would you believe it if I tell you this coffeeshop has depended solely on the customers brought in by this single stall? Would you believe if I say I would sometimes delay my sleep just to await the first sunrise to buy my breakfast from this stall?

Honestly, there isn't really a brand or stall name. At least it isn't displayed publicly. Over the past few years, this particular coffeeshop housing this wanton mee stall has changed several times UNTIL this stall started business here. Ever since, the coffeeshop has been able to make it because this stall brings in so much customers. Other stalls in the same coffeeshop on the other hand, comes and goes like stocks and shares.

If you like the usual hawker/kopitiam food, you should like this. The first thing I love, is the noodles. It's perfect, and not soggy! It's that amazing chewing sensation when my teeth sink into them that makes me swear my life upon this stall. Plate after plate, the noodles standard just doesn't fade.

This wanton mee also comes with a generous serving of sweet char siew, healthy vegetables and THREE WANTONS! I think most places still come with a stingy two wantons but they're more than happy to serve three - one fried wanton and two boiled wanton. I know it's only a difference of one but who doesn't want more? Especially when their wantons are stuffed with more meat than those flimsy ones we get elsewhere?

This stall has more to offer. Lor mee and fried chicken mee. Talking about fried chicken mee, it's really their speciality. I tried asking for the recipe of their fried chicken bits but the lady boss told me the recipe is a secret. All she could tell me... honey is one of the ingredients.

Not only is the fried chicken sweet... don't expect alot of meat too. The best experience of this fried chicken mee is the crunchiness of the fried exterior along with the wet noodles. What a contrast.

Wanting to meet me for dinner to try out? I'm so sorry, they're close by noon. No matter how much ingredients they purchase, everything is sold out after lunchtime. That's how good they are. It's little wonder why the customers keep returning to them every morning, starting from 7am. Like me, we are never sick of eating their noodles.

My verdict? A must try! It's probably not the most glamorous food around, but comparing the serving, taste and rapport with their customer against some other "famous wanton mee" in Old Kallang Airport Road or North Bridge Road - this neighbourhood stall beats the big names hands down.

Regular customers (twice or thrice a week) like me get just a tiny little whiny bigger share... haha... can I be blamed? The only saddening thing is GST taking a toll on them, and the price has since risen from $2.50 to $2.80. I don't care... I still want my good food!
