The standard drop, it’s still decent but not as tasty as before.
The noodle still springy, the sliced pork a bit tough,the sausage still good, the pork lard not crispy.

For lovers of “white” Wantan Mee instead of the ubiquitous black or red versions, you don’t have that many choices over on this side of the Singapore/Malaysian borders. Soi 19 is therefore one option even though it is not your usual Chinese version of Wantan Mee.
For one thing, Soi 19’s wantan mee consists of lean dark char siew and grilled sausages. And they do not have the option to add chilli sauce into the noodles, as with most Thai Wantan Mee.
The plate I got at this Soi 19 outlet met my expectations of the brand. Not exactly like what you can get from the Pratunam stall where Soi 19’s name came from, but good enough to keep diehard fans like me satisfied without making a trip to Thailand. Noodles we al dente and the wantans crispy but meat a bit dry.
I also ordered fish cakes which were rather greasy and desiccated. Maybe I should stick to more wantans. And perhaps there is a reason why the crowds brave long queues at the borders during weekends. For legit white Wantan mee.
This was crispy and addictive. Another crowd favourite that we got was the Thai fish sausage, which we even ordered a second portion of 🤭

The curry was a letdown.
Will stick with the original next time.
Black sauce version not as nice.
Very long queue on a Saturday lunch time.

(Almost) mid week happiness would be treating ourselves to a bowl of sinful thai wanton noodles - springy egg noodles tossed in a good amount of condiments served with generous amount of pork lard, char siew, fish sausage, crispy and boiled wanton yums!!🍜 Definitely need to sprinkle on that chili powder for extra kick wew.🔥Embarrassing to say but this is our first bowl of thai wanton noodles, haven’t had any to compare to but got to say it’s a bowl of flavourful goodness🤤
So the popular Thai wanton mee that always has long queue is available for free islandwide delivery now with min. order of 35$. tasty food right to your doorstep.
3rd time having this dish. Love it when they put the crispy pork skins. It's a must. A bit salty
this bowl of noodles may look unassuming, but don’t let its looks fool you. at first glance it seemed to lack colour and i was not expecting much honestly. however after taking my first bite of noodles i understood the hype around this place. the egg noodles were bursting with flavour and their springy chewiness lent a good bite to the whole dish. at $5, the portion of noodles may seem a little small but the extra ingredients make up for it. the fried wantons’ crisp perfection provided a contrasting crunch to the noodles while the thai fish sausages were fragrant without being overtly oily. they also gave a sizeable serving of pork lard which made me really happy 😆
rating: 4/5
Seemingly a Thai Style wonton noodle, garnished with loads of proteins... charred char siew, sausages peppered with lard chips... give this noodle alot of omph...
The main winner of this dish is the noodles. The noodles are lightly coated in shallot oil and are really firm, giving them both the right texture and flavour. The char siew are not the "cardboard" kind available in most wanton mee, and are flavourful, with the right amount of char. The Thai sausages given are also worth a mention, as they were like upgraded versions of Taiwan sausages. The portions are okay and this bowl is definitely worth a trip down!!
Springy egg noodles tossed with ingredients such as char siew, lap cheong, fried wantons, vegetables and most importantly, fried pork lard! Not forgetting more boiled wantons in that flavourful bowl of soup.
Taste-wise, it wasn’t mind-blowing since it just had that tinge of uniqueness not found in our local version. But nevertheless, it was still yummy and enjoyable.
P.S. You can help yourself to the free-flow fried pork lard at the AMK outlet!
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Even though it might look plain and tasteless, it’s actually a flavour bomb in a bowl. Tastefully tossed in pork lard oil, each strand of noodles is coated evenly with the oil which makes it even more appetizing. The char siew has been smoked and sliced in a substantial size that’s unfamiliar to our usual wanton noodles, which is usually served with the thin, dry and dyed meat that they call “char siew”. I was truly impressed by this stall and it totally lived up to its hype.

Find them at 756 Upper Serangoon Road, #04-26, 534626 (nearest MRT: KOVAN or serangoon la, but both also must walk or take bus. Arbo come my house sleep?). Opening hours:
Daily 9.30am to 8.30pm, closed on Mondays!
The winning parts were the QQ chewy egg noodles, cured fish sausage and dried chilli flakes.
No sauce was added so customers could find it dry. Add your own condiments, yah?
Kind of a cross between local and Thai style wanton noodles.
If you come across any under the radar Thai style wanton mee that is worth featuring, let me know! #DFDHawker #dfdnoodles
More towards local taste, personally prefer original (without black sauce) because it's a little too sweet for me, but worth a try.
This is quite near my home and I've been here many times, I love it.

Eggy, springy noodles ($5 portion with extra ingredients pictured) were cooked al dente without adding any gravy nor sauce, yet every strand was well coated with oil and accompanied by char siew, *free flow* pork lard and, surprisingly, lup cheong (Chinese sausage).

Pictured are other sides that you can order - braised pork trotters ($5) and fried wanton ($3.50). #burpplemajulahmakan
Had this Thai Wonton Mee after my badminton session. It's really pretty good. Basically it taste like Sarawak Kolo Mee but resonates with me because of my love for this type of noodles. It's not exactly the healthiest choice because of the huge reliance on lard oil but it's not a bad idea for an occasional indulgence. Super long queue though, be prepared to wait!
Recommended by my friend some two years ago, Soi 19 Thai Wanton Mee is the place for some serious Thai-style Wanton Mee, otherwise known as "Ba Mee" in Thai.
The main difference between this and the usual Wanton Noodles that we know is that they do not add additional sauce to the noodles, yet the noodles remains springy and does not lump together despite the dryness. What I like about my Large Bowl (S$6.00) is that it comes with more noodles and ingredients, especially those Thai-style char siew and the Chinese sausages (lup cheong). And if you spotted it, they add fried lard as garnishing. You can actually help yourself to additional chopped chilli and fried lard to your liking at their front counter.
Every bowl comes with both fried and boiled wanton, but if you crave for more Fried Wanton like me, an additional portion of it goes for S$3.50 per plate.
Footnote: Take note of their operating hours because they do not open everyday.
