He Ping Claypot Rice @ Sims Avenue, Aljunied – Family-Run Restaurant for 40 Years (Media)

Chuan Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee @ Bedok Reservoir Road, Kaki Bukit – Traditional Hokkien Mee with Plenty of Wok Hei

Hokkien mee is one of those deceptively simple dishes that demand a world of time and effort to cook and perfect. So when a stall opens up selling this very dish, best not to underestimate their dedication and skill.

Wen Kang Ji @ Joo Chiat Road – 2nd Outlet for Famous Wonton Noodles with Melt-In-Your-Mouth Char Siew

Wonton mee is one of those ubiquitous noodle dishes that you can’t really go wrong with, especially if you’re craving something decadent and filling, with just enough meat to top up a bowl of lardy, al dente noodles. 

Wen Kang Ji is known for that, just with a touch more decadence as you can see from the XXL Wonton Mee that put it on Singapore’s foodie map. Hot on the success of its original branch at Golden Mile Food Center, a second one has opened up shop on Joo Chiat Road, in the same coffee shop as Da Dong Prawn Noodles
