Wonton noodles (Chinese: 云吞; Cantonese: wàhn to mihn, also known as wanton mee or wanton mein) is a Cantonese noodle dish. The name was not given to wonton noodles until the Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE). Southern China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand are all major fans of the dish.
To begin, the wontons are primarily prawn-based, with small amounts of minced pork, if any, or no pork at all. The typical shrimp and pork filling for wontons is 70% shrimp and 30% pork. Second, aficionados will demand new, smooth, thin noodles that are al dente and free of the alkaline flavor that many egg noodles have when fried.
Moreover, Wonton noodles are also a ubiquitous hawker fare that is prevalent in many hawker centers or coffee shops in Singapore.
They were awarded the Michelin bib gourmand back in 2019. Ordered both the dry and soup to try.
Their char siew is marinated overnight and roasted daily in a charcoal oven on-site. Eggs, rice, and a splash of alkaline water are used in making the noodles, which are imported from Hong Kong. The noodles light and springy and do not turn soggy when soaked in the soup for too long and also absorb the sauce really well when served dry. The wantons are also plump with substantial fillings. Crispy lard bits adorn the tops of the noodles, adding a fragrant crunch to the dish. Everything is perfect!

Eggy springy noodles with lean charsiew and small wonton. The wonton may be small but the fillings quite substantial la. The noodles don't have an alkaline taste at all which is good too!

Kok Kee Wanton Noodle 国记云吞面 is located at Foch road. Another area which has many nice food places. This wanton noodle stall is pretty famous with long queues every day. However, the $5 portion only came with 2 wantons which were IMO v little portion la. Their sauce is not the old sch dark sauce and also not ketchup, and IMO, more like soup than sauce. Not very nice. 😅😅😅 The charsiew was also the dry kind. Noodles were nice and springy though and wanton was also not bad.

Ji Ji Wanton Noodle Specialist 基记面家 is located at Hong Lim Food Complex and is also one of the wanton mee stalls that are listed in the Michelin guide. I ordered their Ji Ji signature char siew wanton noodle which comes with 3 fried wontons, 3 normal wantons, charsiew, and mushrooms. Their noodles are rounder than the usual egg noodles and are specially made without ghee. No chili was added to my bowl and the sauce was already very nice.

7) Koung’s Wan Tan Noodles 龔氏雲吞面
Koung’s Wantan Mee has been on one of my to-go places and I can finally check this off. The lovely springy noodles were nicely tossed in their savory dark sauce with fatty char siew and nice, substantial wontons! I don't like the dry kind of char siew but the ones here are charcoal roasted which's why more tender.

8) Pin Xiang Wonton Noodles 品香
Pin Xiang Wonton Noodles is located at the Toa Payoh Lorong 4 Food centre. They specialize in the KL style wonton noodles that had the noodles tossed in dark sauce. The noodles were cooked just nicely before tossing in the dark sauce. That black sauce is truly an important component of a good plate of wonton mee. Add more green chili for the spicy kick. Simply delicious! Go early as they’re sold out very quickly. ✔️

10) Hougang Meng Kee Wanton Noodle 后港明记云吞面
Hougang Meng Kee Wanton Noodle is located at Toa Payoh Lorong 8 Hawker centre. The springy feel of the noodles, as well as the liberal use of pork lard oil and crispy bits, appeal to me. The charsiew was also nice with a chewy bite, however, the wonton was lackluster.
Address: Toa Payoh Lor 8 Market, 210 Lor 8 Toa Payoh, Singapore 310210
11) GuangZhou Mian Shi wanton noodle 广州面食
I was at Tanglin Halt Market to try out GuangZhou Mian Shi wanton noodle which was a famous stall there with a constant queue. The noodles are springy without any alkaline taste, and the wanton was nice and plump but the char siew wasn't very nice and was dry af. Go try if you're around Tanglin halt.

Go to Central Hong Kong Café for outlets in Singapore.
15) Fei Fei Wanton Mee 飛飛雲吞麵大王
Fei Fei Wanton Mee is another famous wanton mee stall that is located at Joo Chiat. I opted for no chili but the sauce that they used was already very good. The noodle came thoroughly tossed in the sauce which was so slurp-worthy. The wanton was small but the fillings were substantial. The char siew was the thin and dry kind though. This also came with many vegetables which were kind of unusual. Read the reviews that standards had dropped here but my first time was a good experience la.
