Arrived at this Michelin Bib Gourmand stall at 11am and the queue was already 10 persons. Ordered $4.50 medium portion Wantan noodles dry with chilli.

Waited about 10 minutes before it was my turn. The clear soup had umami taste and the pepper powder I added. The noodles were Al dente enough but not springy. In fact there was too much sauce stemming from the water collected by the noodles during blanching. Something to be said about those “flying Wantan Mee”. Besides showmanship, the move ensures excess water is drained to avoid affecting the texture of the noodles.

The chilli sauce they used was the sweet type. There was some heat in there but not the murderous type. Their char siew was forgettable, being dry and pitifully in quantity. And the portion for $4.50 is really enough only for the smallest appetites.

But all is forgiven when you take one bite into their Wantans. These are larger than normal, almost the size of shui jiao. Inside were chunks of water chestnuts mixed with minced pork. Yummy!

And their pickled green chilli are the best I have had so far this year. Crunchy, tangy, couple with soya sauce, it’s the perfect dip for the wantans. And if you add a couple slices into your noodles, it helps alleviate the sweet chilli sauce.

No chance to try their chicken feet noodles so I must come back another day. Early in the morning, according to an uncle queueing behind me!
