China Whampoa Homemade Noodles 中国黄埔麺粉粿 (Whampoa Drive)

China Whampoa Homemade Noodles located at Blk 91 Whampoa Drive Market & Food Centre specialises in homemade (handmade) noodles. This stall is well known as it has been featured on several TV programmes related to food. 
I visited China Whampoa Homemade Noodles on a Saturday morning. I was surprised that there was no queue at this stall. The reason was because they customers were told to find a table nearby and come back at a certain time (e.g. half an hour later) to collect their bowl of noodles. 
They serve a variety of noodles such as Ban Mee and You Mian. In addition, these were available with prawns, abalone clams, sliced fish, pig's kidney or even with abalone! 
Abalone Clams Hand Made You Mian $4
I ordered a bowl of Abalone Clams Hand Made You Mian $4 and had to wait for slightly less than half an hour before I could collect my order. 
Abalone Clams Hand Made You Mian $4
The Abalone Clams Hand Made You Mian was delicious! It consisted of abalone clams, vegetable, minced meat and ikan bilis. The homemade noodles (you mian) was springy, soft and flavourful! It tasted slightly different from the other homemade noodles stall and seems to be accompanied by a hint of sweetness. 

The soup was refreshing. It was robust, sweet and not salty. One unique ingredient which was used was the mani cai 马尼菜(aka sweet leaf). This was an essential ingredient as it provides a natural sweetness to the soup. 
Chilli Paste
The homemade chilli paste was slightly sweet with a extremely spicy after taste. Despite the spiciness, it was just so shiok (addictive) that I continually dipped the minced meat into it or just add some to each spoonful of noodles. By the end of this meal, I nearly finished all the chilli paste and found myself with swollen lips (just like Angelina Jolie's  bee stung lips - sexy) haha..  You have been warned! 
Notice the containers of chilli paste? They started selling the chilli paste to customers after receiving feedback. 

Service wise, it was impressive as the owner was attentive and polite. He never once snap at customers when some kept asking if their food was ready. In addition, when I wanted to pack some back home, he voluntarily offered to put the soup in another separate takeaway bag. Not all hawkers does this! Kudos to him. 

Overall, China Whampoa Homemade Noodles serves one of the best bowl of homemade noodles in Singapore. Both China Whampoa Homemade Noodles and Poon Nah City Home Made Noodle 文尼城市面粉粿 are uncanny similar to each other. And maybe that is why I also rated Poon Nah City Home Made Noodle as one of the best!

Lao San Kway Chap 老三棵汁·猪什汤 (Ang Mo Kio)

Lao San Kway Chap 老三棵汁·猪什汤  is a Kway Chap stall located at a coffeeshop at Blk 232 Ang Mo Kio Ave 3. In case you are wondering why the address seems to be familiar, it is because this is the same block as where Melben Seafood is located. 
Lao San Kway Chap has been highly raved about by many through word of mouth and on the internet. There was a queue of 7 person on a Sunday morning.
Unfortunately, the large intestines were already sold out. So fast! Considering that I visited at 915 am.
I ordered a bowl of Kway and also a plate of braised pig intestines (small), pig skin, fish cakes and tau pok (fried tofu).
Kway - flat, broad rice sheets
The bowl of Kway was just average. The flat and broad rice sheets were soft, smooth and of the right thickness. However, I felt that the broth was not flavourful enough and was diulted.

I ordered a plate of braised pig intestines (small), pig skin, fish cakes and tau pok (fried tofu). The sweet and savoury braising sauce was excellent. The burst of sauce from the tau pok which absorbed the braising sauce made it so addictive. The braised pig intestines (small), one of my favourite item was disappointing. It was washed clean but tasted rubbery.

I do not understand why Lao San Kway Chap 老三棵汁·猪什汤  has been so highly raved about. My personal thoughts are that it was just an average kway chap stall.
