Koung’s Wantan Mee: The Perfect Blend of Springy Noodles and Flavorful Char Siew

 


Nestled within Geylang and along Sims Avenue, is where a famous wanton noodle stall has resided since 1964. That is a long long time for a hawker to operate. We definitely had to have a go at it for this wanton noodle food review.

At the corner of an old coffee shop we found Koung's stall, with an almost out of place modern signage and queue numbering system. Greeted by a friendly auntie who took our orders swiftly as we finally got to make our order from the snaky lunch time queue.

As we dig into our wanton noodles, the aromatic noodles laden with pork lard was perpetual and effusive. Its sauce mix was slightly greasy but necessary for their distinctive identity and taste. Noodles were springy and chewy, covered beautifully with their gorgeously concocted sauce mix. Irresistible and addictive noodles that Koung's wanton noodles' hedonistic power that assaults the senses.

Char siew slices were rather sweet with savouriness to compliment. Handmade wantons were pleasantly mouthful and delightful with every bite. Quantity was sufficiently given that was definitely filling for any foodie. We got their dry version at $5, although they do have soup version. And if you feel it ain't enough, you can get the extra noodle and ingredients at $8 a plate.

For those who drives, do note that it is a challenge to try and park legally. If possible plan ahead and park somewhere close and walk over when you decide to pay Koung's wantan mee a visit.

Quality of Koung's wanton noodle was without a doubt elegant and superior, that has been able to draw crowds over the decades. Yummilicious!

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...
