My current job allows me to travel around the western part of Singapore and one of my colleagues was recommending a wanton noodle stall at the Commonwealth Crescent Food Centre. But he did not tell me the name of the stall and mentioned that the queue for the stall is always long. So today, I happened to be around the area and I just went to look for the 'long queue wanton noodle' stall.
I hope I queued at the correct stall. The name of the stall is 'Hao Hao Noodle House' (好好面食之家). It was around lunch time and there were a couple of patrons in front of me. The waiting time is not long at all despite the queue.
Guess what, for just $2.50, you can get a plate of noodle in Singapore. I think it is quite hard to find such an affordable price in Singapore. Inflation is going up but not from this stall. The man preparing the noodle flip the noodle up in the air before putting it on the plate. Not sure why he did that action but I guess it must have a purpose behind it. Perhaps to improve on the texture of the noodle.
The noodle is chewy and springy and the portion is relatively huge for just $2.50. I think at other stalls, this plate of noodle could have cost up to $3.50. But I guess the trade off is the quantity of char siew they gave. Though not a lot, but the char siew is tender and nice. There are three wanton (dumplings) in the soup. The ingredients in the wanton is fresh. The dish is good and when mixed with the chilli, soy sauce an lard, the flavours and texture is very well balanced.
