Koka Wanton Noodles

Make sure you had a light dinner before coming here; the wait is killing at this popular stall in North Bridge Road Food Centre.

可口云吞面食, at #01-99 is a mysterious stall that operates from 8-12pm only. Arriving just before 8pm, there were already tables of patrons in waiting. We were told by the server, the wait gonna be long.

As we waited, we witnessed many eating and packing away Wanton Noodles. A guy drove in to collect some 35 packs of noodles after handling over his $150 bills!

We waited wearily for an hour and 20 mins before we got served, "It had better be good" we joked.

We lamented our expectation of the Wanton Noodles; rudely surprised of the plainly simple Wanton Noodles served. Its taste forgettable.

The photos above just showed the prettier side of the dish which was otherwise a petty small serving with tired looking Char Siew meat.

The best tasting item is its dumplings, 3 in a soup that comes with the noodle set. But, in conclusion, the long wait was not justified for this ultra ubiquitous dish, my friend.
