If you are to pick a random person from the street and ask, “where’s the best wanton mee?“, chances are Feifei wanton mee at Joo Chiat will be mentioned. The legendary wanton mee stall from Joo Chiat.
The bowl of wanton mee arrived, with chilli all over the noodles, and that’s it. My friend gave me a nudge to stir the noodles from below and all the treasures were indeed hidden beaneath the noodles. The char siew wasn’t fantastic, it was decent, and the wanton was not bad. But it was the noodles and the chilli which deserved the recognition; the noodles were Q and simply bounced on my tongue, while the chilli was fiery hot, although I was sweating all over, but it’s worth the while!
Feifei doesn’t served roasted duck, this was ordered from another stall in the kopitiam.
Crisping on the surface, the roasted duck skin was bursting red, with a layer of fats sticking under it, was sinful, but a delight to have. They looked good, they smelled even better. I wolf the whole thing down, nibbling everything from the skin, the meat and the fats, chewing any leftovers that I spotted on the bones. I love roasted duck!
You are always welcome to visit ladyironchef for a full-up on this trip. Whatever written herein are my genuine feelings expressed in words. Food, my dear, is what they call an adventure!
no doubt a super filling portion for the price that we pay and nice tasting too (with the pork lard again i assume?).
i agree that its not fantastic but a fulfilling trip is assured when you pay a visit to fei fei wanton mee :)
its also the 'culture' that has been passed on for generations that impressed me. the way the food is served, ie ingredients at the bottom, how you use the same bowl to get more soup etc. old school! haha.
oh yah, at one of the branch, theres a lane at the side which leads to a pretty large area behind (which is also the smoking area) when its at night, its quite dark and with some chinese deity statue there, the atmosphere it created is like some gang fight's gonna happen :P
i have eaten at fei fei's a few times..but i guess i still pretty much prefer the black sauce msian kind. The noodles and chilli and fei fei is okay..but i kinda like my char siew with a bit of fats n more sweet sauce .
The noodles are on the tough, chewy side and the char siew is more of the lean dry kind compared to the generic charred oily type... overall it is good but certainly not fantastic. Certainly a place to consider when you are looking for a cheap bite for supper.
The price of Fei Fei wanton noodle has increased to $2.50 & $3.00 since last year. I have been eating the noodle since 1979 when their father was the chef that handmade the noodle inside his house and their stall was just behind the back door compound. If you want some soup you must finish your noodle and use the same bowl to get the soup, that remind me when I was a little kid in the 60s, where soup was also serve this way. They moved to the present coffee shop in the late 80s because operating behind their house is prohibited by law. Their house is just a few metre away from the coffee shop. There are a few Fei Fei outlets, I only patronise the one at Joo Chiat because it is the original outlet. The taste of wanton noodle at this stall is still the same, very tasty and smooth, all wanton noodle lovers must try it out.

Be prepared for the lunch crowd and the afternoon sun, try to be there earlier to park your car, else you would have to walk a long way to the infamous stall.
$2 for a lunch is VERY reasonable, i mean, its hard to find places selling a bowl of noodles at $2. The portion of the noodles is abit little IMO, but as I stress again, its just $2. The chilli is good!
I was at Joo Jiat road and came across this Fei Fei Wanton noodle. I thought I saw someone wrote about them and decided to give it a try. But there are a few Fei Fei wanton noodle, which is better?
I selected one near where I park my car. It is a coffee shop and I believe this is the correct address because I saw the same article '3 generation..' imprinted on the table too.
When the noodle is served, the first thing I did was to look around for the Wonton and Char Siew because I can't see any of them. It is just a bowl of plain noodle ( Like pasta ) with a spoonful of chilli. I was puzzled until the coffee lady look at me and told me that the wanton is at the bottom.
I was a little confused, but common sense told me that I should just stir it. Finally, I saw the wonton and char siew, only then I realise it is really wanton noodle. The noodle is quite a lot, but the wanton and char siew are very little. I don't find it that special. All I can say is that the noodle used is different from others and the wanton is really nice.
