Have always passed by Bei-Ing Wanton Noodle’s original outpost at Roxy Square but usually too distracted with the cafe options around the area to drop by and make a visit — the folks behind the stall has recently opened a new coffeeshop stall at The Bullion Hawker Bar situated at 396 East Coast Road, which is located near Penny University. Apart from serving up their signature Wanton Noodle that we had, this new outlet also boasts exclusive items such as the Spicy Noodle Soup, Mentaiko Wanton Chips and Deep Fried Mushrooms.

Whilst many of the newer items do sound interesting, we found ourselves going for the Wanton Noodle since we have yet to try them out. The Wanton Noodle comes at a rather hefty price tag of $6 — but there again, it does come with a good portion of noodles, and a rather generous serving of Char Siew and Fried Wantons especially when compared to other establishments around. Bei-ing Wanton Noodle’s wanton noodle will probably appeal to those who prefer heavier flavours — the sauce mix here for the noodles seem to come with black sauce and a dash of vinegar; savoury and comes with a tang. The noodles itself came be said to have come al-dente; it’s definitely springy though some may prefer their noodles to be on the softer side — boils down to personal preference. The fried wontons and soup wontons were decent; some packing more meat than others but I did enjoy how the fried ones were crisp but not greasy. Appreciated how the Char Siew wasn’t the generic sort than came with the red dye; does carry a hint of sweetness from that honey-glaze though the meat is on the leaner side, while the greens gave a refreshing crunch. Was actually quite impressed with the soup provided alongside the Wanton Noodle here; pretty flavoursome without being too greasy and jelak — snuck a few spoonfuls of it for someone who usually prefers leaving the soup alone whilst having wanton noodle.

At $6, Bei-Ing Wanton Noodle’s Wanton Noodle does command a steeper price tag than its counterparts — all that with albeit of a more generous portion, somewhat better Char Siew than some and the artsy brush of the black sauce on the plate. That being said, their wanton noodles is probably one that suits those who prefer it being done the way it is — one that is mostly attributed to one’s preferences. Glad to have given their wanton noodles a try since it’s been so long since it’s been on the bucket list — a dining choice I wouldn’t mind having in the area if i am looking to splurge a little on a hawker/coffeeshop meal.
