Irresistible Wan Ton Mee from Hua Kee Hougang at Old Airport Road Food Centre

 


We embarked on a quest to find the ultimate wanton mee and stumbled upon Hua Kee, a well-known stall at Old Airport Road hawker center. This stall, also known as the Old Airport Road wanton mee stall, has been in operation since 1940 and was awarded the Michelin star in both 2018 and 2019, which speaks volumes about the quality of their food.

Hua Kee's wanton mee features thicker and chewier noodles than the typical mee kia. While they may not be as springy, they provide a more substantial mouthfeel. The noodles are generously topped with fried shallots, adding a crispy texture and a distinct shallot flavor that pairs perfectly with the tender and delicately marinated char siew. Although lacking in charred or caramelized aspects, the char siew's savory and sweet taste is nonetheless delectable and complements the noodles well. The sauce mixture, thick and aromatic with pork lard and a hint of spicy chili sauce, adds depth and dimension to the dish. The wantons are standard in size, but pack a flavorful punch that complements the noodles and char siew. It's a carefully crafted dish that has stood the test of time, passed down from generation to generation.

At just $4 per plate, Hua Kee's spicy wanton mee is simply irresistible. It's a dish that we could eat every day without getting tired of it. Yummy!

The stall's rich history and prestigious Michelin accolades add to the allure of Hua Kee's wanton mee, and we highly recommend giving it a try. The generous portions, delicious flavors, and affordable price make it a must-try dish for any foodie in Singapore.

Hunan Pork Belly at Xiang Xiang Hunan: Crunchy, Spicy, and Lip-Smacking Good

  You know a dish is that good when you keep coming back for it. And that’s exactly what happened on our third visit to Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine 湘香湖南菜 —this time at AMK Hub. We already had high expectations from our past experiences, but once again, their Hunan pork belly blew us away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What Makes This Hunan Pork Belly Stand Out? First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: their Hunan stir fry pork , made with a heavenly combo of Iberico pork belly and lean pork. It’s a dish that really brings out the spirit of Hunan cooking—bold, fragrant, slightly spicy, and loaded with green pepper aromatics. The pork belly is wonderfully fatty and tender, with that unmistakable richness that Iberico pork is known for. The lean pork adds a nice balance so it doesn’t get overly unctuous. And then there's the rabbit ear fungus. Yes, rabbit ear fungus—also known as Mu Er or Yunnan black fungus . It...

Seoul Noodle Shop Bishan: Bibim Noodles and More at Junction 8

  If you’re wandering through Bishan’s Junction 8 mall wondering what to eat, Seoul Noodle Shop might just catch your eye. A cozy little restaurant stall tucked in the basement, it promises authentic Korean noodles and hearty comfort food that feels straight out of a Seoul street market. We visited over the weekend for dinner and decided to go big. Two combo sets—Combo A and Combo B—meant we could try six different dishes, including their famous bibim noodles , which definitely deserved the spotlight. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) Bibim Noodles at Seoul Noodle Shop: A Textural Delight The bibim noodles came dressed in a vibrant red sauce that hinted at fire, but turned out to be pleasantly balanced. At $16.50 ala carte (but included in Combo B), it’s a hearty bowl topped with sliced beef, kimchi, and egg garnish , all nestled over freshly made noodles. What stood out immediately was the chewy, spr...
