Monday, before training, pengyang charles and i went for a little makan trip. but what's more important is this discovery i made. it's near Climbasia, and it's damn good.
It's Sin Hoe Hin KL-Style Wanton Mee!!!
It's at 12 Rowell Road, which is just a stone's throw from Farrer Park MRT. And VERY NEAR Desker road for those interested.
It's situated in a humble and rag-tag looking shophouse, and it sells only wanton mee. that speaks a lot for the quality of the food. and as i visit the makansutra forum and local foodblogs often (that's where i found out about them), i must agree with them that this has got to be the best Wanton Mee in Spore.
The dark sauce is flavourful and not salty, the mee kia al dente with enough bite and not soggy at all, and the wantons, phwah. i'll call them giant wantons. the meat filling is not the meagre dollop you get at mediocre hawker centre stalls, it's really a lot and the water chestnut, carrot and black fungus inside just adds to the satisfaction. and i must say, it's more meat than skin! and the char siew is not those boiled-and-coated-with-red-dye kind. it's got a home made taste, exactly the same as the ones my mom makes. a hint of honey and wine, succulent and sweet.
For $3, you get 3 of these great wantons and 2 deep fried wantons which are not oily and won't give you that 'jelak' feeling from eating too much oily stuff. it's really damn good for someone who always complains about his noodles. don't order the milo peng1 though, no power at all.
next time, whoever wants to eat there can jio me. it's open from 730am to 130pm daily except tuesdays.
