Be prepared to queue for half an hour for the 'perfect' wanton noodles, says reader Derek Tan.

Review by reader Derek Tan:
Eng's Char Siew Wanton Mee
#B1-02 Dunman Road Hawker Centre
As I put the first morsel of noodles into my mouth, sweat beads start to break out on my forehead and neck. This humble looking plate of wanton mee, one of Singapore's perennial favourites packs a mean punch! Read on to find out what draws people back time and again despite subjecting their palates to the incredibly spicy chilli sauce.

His noodles are of the perfect consistency, not too dry yet not too soggy, not too chewy but with just the right amount of spring in each bite. It takes a high level of skill to achieve this texture plate after plates of noodles dished out. The wantons are tiny but I love the each bite because the skin is silky soft, yet doesn't break apart easily. The savoury taste of the pork inside is really fragrant and combined with the spicy noodles, it just makes you crave another bite. Before you know it, you would have run out of noodles. Do not stinge on your tissue packs here because you literally "work" hard for this delicious plate of chow!
The only let down is the measly pieces of char siew, which is nothing outstanding. However, the main draw of wanton mee is the noodles, the chilli sauce and the wantons. Eng gets this right down to perfection!

It is no doubt that Eng's wanton mee has followed me through my childhood and till today, it has not disappointed. Just be prepared to queue for 1/2 hr!

Spicy? Not really. It's only just very hot. Noodle texture is good. Other than that nothing much to shout about.

Ordinary taste, I don't find it great, old airport food centre one is better.

 

[sand_ban]

That is NOTHING lah, the standard of that noodle just only so so lah.

I lived and grew up in that area, and I will not particularly want to eat it.

Only when visiting that hawker center together with others, and they are ordering that noodle then I will take it.

That standard is just so so, why wait for it?

 

[red amoeba]

The UNDISPUTED CHAMPION of wanton mee is the one at Jalan Batu at the corner coffeeshop which is also famous for its pau

Opens about 5am everyday and sells out by noon.

But very crowded and you must be patient
