I must profess I’ve not heard of popular wanton mee stall Wen Kang Ji before, but I’m more than happy to be acquainted with their second outlet at Joo Chiat now, in the same coffeeshop as Da Dong Prawn Noodles.

The version here is standout in every way. Fatty, caramelised char siew made from the underarm of the pig roasted in-house, “QQ” noodles in a savoury brown sauce and plump, meaty pork wantons with a hint of dried sole fish, came together in symphony of umami and textural delight.

To have to decide between my favourite prawn noodles or killer wanton mee the next time I’m there and confronted with the inevitable queue at both stalls is a #firstworldproblem I’d gladly face.
