Learnt about the opening of Heew Moo Pig Trotter Rice & Thai Wanton Mee sometime back when going around the Upper Serangoon Road area; the stall is found within the coffeeshop named The Coffee Shop by Yaowarat Thai Kway Chap that is located at the cross junction of Upper Serangoon Road and Simon Road. Heew Moo Pig Trotter Rice & Wanton Mee occupies a stall that is situated in the middle of the coffeeshop; the stall is neighbours with the outlet of Ng Kuan Chilli Pan Mee and the outlet of 冰多多 Bing Duo Duo Desserts there — the stall being pretty easy to identify considering how the font for the “Moo” in the namesake is stylised similarly to a pig’s snout to probably draw the attention of passers-by to the stall. As the namesake of the stall suggests, the main focus of the stall would be their Pig Trotter Rice and Thai-style Wanton Mee offerings, though it also offers Ala-Carte sides such as Pig Trotters, braised pig intestine and braised sweet intestine for those whom wish to share an item on the side.
Given how we are often more intrigued with Thai-style Wanton Noodle over Pig Trotter Rice typically, we went with the Wanton Noodle during our visit to Heew Moo Pig Trotter Rice & Thai Wanton Mee; Heew Moo Pig Trotter Rice & Thai Wanton Mee does much not describe the elements that comes with their dishes on its menu, but it can be observed that the Wanton Mee comes with elements such as Char Siew, Pork Lard, greens, wantons, shredded chicken and egg noodles. As one would typically expect, the egg noodles are being tossed in pork lard; the fragrance of pork lard lacing the egg noodles while the egg noodles itself does come springy and bouncy. The Char Siew that came along with the Thai Wanton Noodle is on the leaner side; that being said, there is definitely a sweetness that came along with it from the red dye that is used in the preparation of the meat. The fried pork lard comes all crisp and crunchy; all that without feeling particularly greasy within. We did feel that the dumplings weren’t particularly well-made, the wanton skin was delicate but seemed to have been slightly torn off for one of the pieces whilst being served; the wanton filled with meat that carried an underlying sweetness with quite a peppery note — just something that didn’t quite align with our preferences. Though arguably a decent attempt on serving up an authentic bowl of Thai-style wanton noodles, the version served up at Heew Moo Pig Trotter Rice & Thai Wanton Mee does seem to be a tad basic when compared against other Thai-style Wanton Mee that is served up at other establishments which comes with other components like fish sausage as well — still does resolve the cravings for Thai Wanton Noodles nonetheless.
