Ji Ji Wanton Noodle Specialist (Hong Lim Market)

The soup was savoury with a tad of herby and peppery notes, plus sweetness from wolfberries, making it more complex than a typical clear soup. The wantons were big, umami, meaty, and wrapped in slippery smooth skin. Overall, a good bowl, but be ready to brave the queue to get one.

A small bowl consisting of thin noodles, char siew, bok choy, pork lard, and a savoury soup with two wantons. If you go for the $5.50 bowl, you get more toppings like crispy deep‑fried wanton, but I was good with just a simple bowl.

The noodles need to be mixed before eating so every strand is coated with the savoury light and dark sauce and pork lard oil. Texture was chewy, leaving a greasy mouthfeel from slurping since the noodles were well‑coated. Char siew was tender, caramelised sweet, and generous in portion, with a flavour slightly different from the standard char siew taste. Loved the glistening crunchy pork lard for added fragrance and crunch.

Queued more than an hour for this, and I must say… not worth it. I love my wanton mee saucy and chewy, but I thought this bowl was slightly on the drier side. There is a nice umami flavour to the sauce here but other than that I can’t really see why I would queue that long again for just a decent bowl of wanton mee, granted that it looks presentable and the owners were very polite.

Rate:🌟🌟🌟

I ordered the medium size but i think the noodles portion remain the same for all sizes, just more ingredients. It comes with fried and non fried wantons, char siew and xiao bai cai. They added little bits of crispy thing as well. The noodles were al dente. The char siew was also lean and tender. The wanton was ok. Their soup has goji berries in it and is sweet. Pretty good bowl of wanton.

Long queues at this stall for wanton noodles. The lady boss is very polite but the noodles were quite normal in terms of taste and portion is small.
