Kok Kee Wanton Noodles 国记云吞面 is a localized wanton noodles that often preyed by Singaporeans. It is said to be unique that none other wanton mee in Singapore could replicate it. The reviews on the Internet is polarized for this wanton mee. Some mentioned there will be always a queue in front of the stalls, while some reprimanded the eccentric lady whom is the order taker and the insipid char siew. Nonetheless, all of these were not true till we prove it ourselves.
Note: Kok Kee Wanton Noodles has since ceased operation
The hawker stall is now relocated to Hoa Nam Building, having moved from the demolished Lavender Food Court. Surprisingly, during our visit there were only a handful of people and we did not have to wait long till our turn to place an order. The order taking lady did not display any unusual behavior as well.
Available at two tier of pricing - $4.5 or $5.5, the wanton mee did have some exceptional characteristics. The noodles were drenched in their special sauce, then topped with a few slices of thin char siew, wanton and chilli sauce.
The special sauce was the key differences comparing to all other wanton mee. It was elusive and exhibited the characteristics of diluted starchy soup. The stirring of chili paste did give a sense of burning into the soup and noodles, which was pretty pleasant.
Despite it was special in the taste, we felt the overall was average. Wanton and char siew were nothing peculiar and missed the lower the marks given to the bowl of noodles. On our personal experience, we have tried some wanton mee more suitable and cater to our taste buds.
