I appreciate the local noodles for breakfast
Recently, after a bowl of bak chor mee that left me dissatisfied – the soup was characterless and too salty, and it was n & # 39; There was not enough punch in the chilli – I found my way to a coffee shop in Bishan for a second breakfast.
A friend recommended Cai Ji Wanton Mee's wonton noodles at Block 112 Bishan Street 12 and I had intended to try it. The noodles are mixed in a mixture of chilli and ketchup – no black soy sauce and no oil mixture are included
My friend told me to order wonton mee pok with chilli but without ketchup
as well as the usual offering of mee kia with chilli and ketchup.
Each plate ($ 3 per serving) comes with noodles topped with a lean char, leafy vegetables and a bowl of soup with three small but plump wontons

Note: 3/5
The wonton mee is old-school and simple.
I love it's no frills, the roundness of the combination of chilli and ketchup, and how each elastic crumb of mee kia is covered with sauce.
This is a well executed comfort plate that strikes the place.
After trying both versions, I recommend you stick with the original, but opt for mee pok if you prefer thicker noodles.
The soup is much tastier than the one that came with my bak chor mee. The pork in the wontons here is sweet and well seasoned, unlike the tasteless and moist wontons in my bowl of bak chor mee.
The texture of the noodles is also more supple.
It is unlikely that this plate of noodles will make you fall socks. But you can leave feeling more ready to face the challenges of the day. And for me, this feeling is priceless.
