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.

Xiang Di Mi Fen Pasir Panjang Food Centre – Fatty Ipoh Noodles Review

  When you think of crispy noodle dishes, most of us immediately picture the classic deep-fried yee mee swimming in luscious egg sauce gravy. But over at  Fatty Ipoh Noodles (肥仔怡保炒粉)  in  Pasir Panjang Food Centre , there’s something different sizzling away on the wok. Enter the  Xiang Di Mi Fen (香底米粉)  – a rare twist that swaps out yee mee for bee hoon, and the results are worth every crunchy bite. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What makes Xiang Di Mi Fen special? Here’s the magic: instead of sturdy yee mee, the hawker goes with delicate bee hoon. Deep-frying bee hoon isn’t as straightforward – it’s finer, more brittle, and breaks more easily, which means it takes extra skill to get it golden, crispy, and ready to hold up under a blanket of silky gravy. That’s already a show of craft. The glorious egg sauce gravy Once the fried bee hoon hits the plate, it’s doused with a  luxurious egg sauce gravy  that cl...

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...
