Unwrapping Fei Fei Wanton Mee in Joo Chiat: A Pricey Pile of Pleasure

 


If you find yourselves wandering the vibrant streets of Joo Chiat in Singapore, your noses might lead you to Fei Fei Wanton Mee, a bustling little joint that promises to satisfy your craving for Wanton Noodle. But, hold on to your wallets, our foodie friends, because this place packs a punch not just in flavor but also in the price department.

The Sticker Shock: $6 for a Tiny Bowl

Let's start with the elephant in the room, or should we say, the sting in the pocket? A single bowl of their Wanton Noodle sets us back a whopping six bucks. We don't know about you, but for a noodle bowl that could double as a snack, it's a bit steep, don't you think?

CharSiew: The Hard-to-Chew Mystery

The first thing we dug into was the CharSiew, and boy, oh boy, it felt like we were chewing on a rubber tire! Tough and dry, it was like doing a workout for our jaws. And the taste? Well, it was more elusive than a unicorn at a rainbow convention—practically nonexistent.

Noodly Delight: Chewy and Tasty Noodles

But then, there's the saving grace—the noodles. These chewy wonders were a delight. They held onto the sauce like it was their life's mission. And speaking of sauce, Fei Fei's mix is a classic: heavy on pork lard with a generous dash of chili oil. It's like a time machine back to old-school Wanton Mee. If you're a fan of the traditional flavors, you're in for a treat.

Wontons and Soup: Plump and Flavorful

On the side, you get a bowl of Wanton soup with four plump parcels of goodness. These little pockets of joy were bursting with flavor. The soup, rich and briny, embraced them like a warm, salty hug.

The Verdict: Overpriced but Somewhat Tasty

So, here's the deal: Fei Fei Wanton Mee serves up a decent bowl of Wanton Noodle with standout noodles and flavorful wantons. But the portion size and the CharSiew will leave your wallet feeling a little lighter. It's a bit like a rollercoaster for your taste buds and your wallet.

Opening Hours: Fueling Your Midnight Cravings

In conclusion, Fei Fei Wanton Mee in Joo Chiat is like that quirky friend who always manages to surprise you. It's not the cheapest ride in town, but it sure takes you on a flavorful journey. So, if you're in the neighborhood and feeling a craving for some old-school Wanton Mee with a twist, give it a shot. Just don't forget to bring your appetite and your extra cash!

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...
