Surprised by the high ratings. Decent portion of noodles with texture thicker than mee kia but doesn't qualify as the typical thinner, springy wonton noodles. Char siew a little dry. Would have preferred thicker, dark toasted tender char siew. Sauce again was in between fishball noodles and wonton sauce. Lack a fragrant sesame scent or taste. Soup base very blend and lack flavour. Wonton itself was good though. I've had better wonton noodles in gombak area and even bukit batok east ave 4. My faves would be ones in telok blanglah drive, chomp chomp serangoon gardens and tampines west..

Visited on a weekend morning, stall had a few customers. The stall itself is pretty small, 2 seats within and 3 tables outside. Order the standard wanton mee ($3.80). Came with a decent amount of noodles, around 7 pieces of lean char Siew and 3 boiled wantons. Noodles: Noodles were drenched in a watery chilli sauce blend and probably some soy based sauce. The noodles were the thicker kind which gives you a better bite. My issue with the noodles is that it had a very strong alkaline taste, which wasn't covered by the sauce and green chilli taste. Wanton/Char Siew: Wanton skins were thick and felt pretty dense. Skin was not the silky soft kind that floats on the soup. Rather felt like those 中国水饺 kind, definitely a miss for me. Meat amount was alright but I didn't really like the taste of the meat. Char Siew is the standard lean meat 'cardboard' kind. But they did give a generous amount for a $3.80 portion. Not too thin. Overall, slightly below average for me. Noodles and wantons could be better. But guess it is a somewhat decent food option around this area since there is almost nothing to eat at sunshine place.

One of the longest surviving tenants in Sunshine place. This shop sells only wanton noodle and they have built a loyal following. Its noodle is egg version and cooked Al dente. Char Siew is lean which a disappointment while its wanton is excellent. Good amount of pork and chestnut. Its pricing is very attractive and offers great CP proposition.

I've had food from them since 2018, and it's still a great place! I met the owners - they are really nice people once you get to know them. I enjoy eating their noodles and dumplings for breakfast. They also cook delicious wanton mee (in an aromatic broth, then end with chilli sauce), and make good, strong coffee at Sunshine Place .

In the “old days” of Singapore, small owner-operated food kiosks were everywhere. Run by fiercely independent and friendly owners, they were the hub of “kampong” living—where everyone, esp retirees, met and “shot the breeze.” The food, always excellent, was beside the point—it functioned as an excuse to bring Singaporeans together and as a counterpoint to the boring, shiny new corp towers you see everywhere in SE Asia. The gov, in its infinite wisdom, forced these small kiosks into the arms of property developers, and they subsequently disappeared or had to change operations to fit a more hygienic, standard style. Within the cold walls of malls, the food stalls of the past lost their ability to inspire spontaneous social interactions and therefore their charm. Here, however, one food kiosk is determined to keep the old ways. It marches onward like Wagner’s Valkyrie, impervious to the changing times, reminding Singapore what it has lost. Come here for laksa or wonton noodles. Depending on the day, the menu is different. Get yourself a taste of real Singapore at only 4.50 for delicious noodles (be sure to mention you don’t want spicy if you’re a wimp like me) and teh tarik. (July 2018)
