Hua Kee Hougang Famous Wanton Mee (Old Airport Road Food Centre)

Wanton Mee $5

Hua Kee Hougang Famous Wanton Mee 華記后港祖傳馳名云吞麵 is a popular Wanton Mee stalll located at Old Airport Road Food Centre. It is just next to Cho Kee Noodle which is also another popular Wanton Mee Stall.

Hua Kee Hougang Famous Wanton Mee has more than 40 years of history. Their wanton mee is so popular because of two factors. One is because of the noodles. Their noodles are not bought off the shelf. Instead these are made according to their own recipe. Secondly, it is because of their special chilli sauce.

Wanton Mee $5

I upsized my Wanton Mee from $3.50 to $5. The bowl was literally filled to the brim with noodles, wantons, char siew and vegetables. 

Wanton Mee $5

The noodles tasted different from those else where. It was smooth, springy and not lumpy. It was soft and yet not to the extend of breaking easily. Their noodles remind me of the noodles I had at Fei Fei Wanton Mee. 

The wantons were real good. The skin was soft and smooth while the filings in it were tasty with bits of what seems like chestnut which provided a crunch. The char siew was not fantastic though. Although it was not dry, they could have charred the sides a little bit to provide a greater contrast in the taste and up the fragrance by a notch or two. As for the chilli sauce, it was unique. It was fragrant with just a very small hint of spiciness. It went very well with the noodles. I wonder how they made the chilli sauce. It could complement a whole range of food.

This bowl of Wanton Mee is delicious. If I am leaving nearby, I could well be eating this on a regular basis.

Fishball Story 鱼缘 (Golden Mile Food Centre)

Fishball Noodles (Mee Pok) $3.50

Fishball Story 鱼缘 is a hawker stall manned by a young hawker, Douglas Ng, 24, specialising in serving fishball noodles. The stall is located at level one of Golden Mile Hawker Centre at Lavendar. 

So what is so unique about Fishball Story other than the fact that it is manned by a 'young hawker'? Or in marketing terms, its called USP (Unique Selling Point). Well, unlike other (most) fishball stalls, the fishballs and chilli-scallion fishcakes are all handmade! He would arrive as early as 4am to blend the fish paste. The fishballs are made entirely from yellow tail fish with no flour.

 In case you are wondering, the queue here is short. The most number of people i have seen queuing here is around 5. Sometimes, there is no queue.

Fishball Noodles (Mee Pok) $3.50

I ordered Mee Pok Fishball Noodles (dry) $3.50.

Fishball Noodles (Mee Pok) $3.50

It comes fishballs, chilli-scallion fishcakes, fish dumpling (herh qiao), mee pok, pork lard, shallots, lettuce and sambal chilli sauce!

Fishball Noodles (Mee Pok) $3.50

What was fantastic to me was the mee pok and the sambal chilli sauce. The mee pok was cooked perfectly; just nice! As for the sambal chilli sauce which was cooked with hae bi (dried shrimps), it was so fragrant and addictive; outstanding! When mixed with the noodles, it complemented the noodles perfectly; lip smacking! Just the noodles and the sambal chilli sauce itself would suffice for me!

Frankly speaking, when I first tried the handmade fishballs, I was surprised. I did not like the initial taste. The exterior of the fishball was firm, but the interior was tough, not bouncy and not spongy. I am probably too used to factory made fishballs and was not used to this version of handmade fishballs with no flour.

I went back again two weeks later as I really missed the noodles and sambal chilli noodles (no joke!). It was still as good. This time I got used to the fishballs and enjoyed them more. This is a case of the more you have it the more you will love it.

I can forsee myself coming back for more fishball noodles (especially the sambal chilli)! Going to rate this as a die die must try!
