    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.

      A friend told me that Kwang’s Aquarium (formerly at Crane Rd) which specializes in fresh water and marine fishes have relocated to 71 Joo Chiat Place. We decided to look for it. We met up at Eunos Mrt station on Tuesday night and casually strolled towards Joo Chiat.

      Along the way, we asked several strangers whether they were aware of any aquarium shop in this neighbourhood. Some pointed towards the east, while the others west. We found ourselves going back and forth along this stretch of road a few times. We’re just like ants without heads-totally lost!

      Just then, a kind-hearted old lady directed us towards this orange building off Mangis road. “If I’m not mistaken, I think it is right at the end of that building” she said confidently. After thanking her, we hurriedly set out towards it. We were perspiring profusely when we reached our destination. To our horror, it’s not an aquarium shop! It looks like a hardware shop with a Feng-Shui fish tank, with some parrot fishes swimming sluggishly inside. If you think that we will definitely curse and swear at that moment, I’m sorry to disappoint you. We did not! In fact, we squatted there laughing amongst ourselves. It was so comical. What a day!

      Feeling exhausted and hungry, we decided that the first stall we chance upon, we will patronize from them. Our aching limps carried us to this coffee shop where there is a wanton noodle stall.

      We immediately ordered 3 bowls of dry wanton noodles ($2.50 per bowl). They served the noodle in a porcelain bowl instead of a plate. The hand-made noodle (secret recipe) tastes very different, slightly harder and crisper, unlike others so soft. The wanton skin is smooth; its meat is tasty and juicy. It virtually melts in your mouth! The char-siew and chilli sauce also compliments well with the noodle. It’s so..oo... delicious!

      Thereafter, we realized that every table there had an article imprinted, “Hand-made 3 generations” by Frederick Lim on this Yam Kei Fei Fei wanton noodle stall. It was dated back in 18th February 1993.

      Although we were unable to accomplish our objective, at least we ran into this lip-smacking stall. It was truly a blessing in disguised!

      And if you’re wondering how to get there by bus, SBS Transit service no. 33 is the only bus that plies along this stretch of road.

        This Wanton Noodle is CHEAP CHEAP... $2-$2.50 a plate and the portion is not tiny. Value for money really.

        The noodles are cooked just right, slightly chewy. Not for people who likes theirs soft. The char siew is a very wierd red colour but it tastes good. I've yet to eat large fatty bits there. The char siew is always fresh and chewy.

        The service is ok, I guess. They're fast. But don't expect any smiles or anything... it's strictly business.

        The bad part would be having to find the place itself and not much parking space. :P

          Maybe, the stall holder looked at your size and charged you 0.50cents less because I am fat that why I was charged more.
