wanton mee 3 50 i knew i was in for a treat ... (9/11)

Wanton Mee ($3.50) I knew I was in for a treat once I saw the amount of love and expertise that went into handling the noodles and simmering the wantons by the old man mending the store (presumably the owner, who’s known for being the ex-head Chef at Crystal Jade).

And I was right! Perfectly cooked wantons with just the right amount of pork to shrimp ratio atop a bed of QQ noodles — flavours are simple, but the execution of all the components are really spot on. Tip: Don’t forget to request for the fried chilli flakes in oil to mix in with your noodles, which they display at the shopfront. So glad that this hawker gem has shifted from sixth avenue to a literal 20-minute walk from my place (233 Bukit Batok East Ave 5)! 4.7/5 #burpplesg #burpple
