The best char siew wantan noodles come from this little nondescript coffee shop in the middle of nowhere near my old office. Wantan noodle is not my favourite food; unlike my sister's son Christopher who ate the noodle for recess in school for 2 weeks till he was ill.
This coffee shop is called Soon Heng at the end of Joo Seng Road and Little Road, along Upper Paya Lebar Road.
The noodles are crunchy and tasty with sufficient bite that it does not feel mushy. The char siew pork is lean and well roasted. There are also crispy fried wantons to entice me too. The noodles are tossed in an oil and soya sauce mix that is fragrant. I am pleased to report that there isn't a drop of tomato ketchup in sight at this stall. The soup base is redolent of soya beans, pork and ikan bilis and does not have any MSG added to it.
His soi kow dumplings are also excellent - large and crunchy and well flavoured.
I think the icing on the cake for me with this char siew wantan are the fried lard bits. There is a large container of lard bits and I get lard bits tossed around in my noodles to make them the tastiest noodles as far as I am concerned.
I am there so often that I can order my noodles by just waving at the guy - same for my tea from the drinks stall.
This is bliss!
