Sick of having the same old usuals at Chinatown Complex, I walked around the food centre, hoping to uncover something new for lunch when I stumbled upon Wei Ji Noodle House (威记面家).
Hidden at a inconspicuous part of the complex, business is sluggish - or at least that's what it appears to be - when I was there just before noon. This is a striking contrast to the other stalls just round the corner.
Nevertheless, I decided to give it a try and ordered myself a plate of Wanton Mee.
The person taking my order is quite aloof who made no effort to take my order even though I was standing there in front of the stall for a good whole minute.
I had to take the initiative to call out to him what I wanted. Even then, there was no communication between us during the entire transaction as I am the only one doing all the talking.
I wonder is that part of the reason for the lack of business?
Wanton Mee (SGD3)
Tossing my noodles, I realized the sauce is very plain which I guess is just a simple concoction of pork lard oil and soy sauce. However, it taste surprisingly yummy to me!
This Wanton Mee tastes absolutely better than its looks.
I am very excited with this discovery!

Wantons
There are about 4 or 5 boiled Wantons. I totally forgot to count because I am too excited about the noodles! The minced pork is not too heavily marinated and is quite enjoyable with the crunchy water chestnuts.

Char Siew
Although there are not a lot of Char Siew, at least the pieces are not paper thin. The Char Siew is tender with bits of fat and the charred edges that I like. I could taste the sweetness of the marinade unlike some tasteless Char Siew out there.

Springy noodles with a good bite
As for the noodles, they are springy with the eggy fragrance. I simply love the noodles coated with the simple sauce. Less is more, I think.
Then there are quite a bit of finely diced pork lard which lend some fragrance to the noodles.

I am quite delighted with the discovery of Wei Ji Noodle House even though the noodles impressed me more than the service itself.
