Soi 19 Thai Wanton Mee (Ang Mo Kio)

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.
💰$5.5.

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 🤭

For sides, we opted for the fried squid ($13) and Thai BBQ squid ($15.30)

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.
