Other than Zhenguang Wantan Noodles, Kiat Huat Wanton Noodle is another stall offering the same noodle dish under the same roof at Haig Road Market & Food Centre.

However, I noticed that Kiat Huat is the one with a perpetual queue whenever I visit the food centre.

I decided to try them out to see if they are better than Zhenguang Wantan Noodles since they draw a bigger crowd in front of their stall.

I ordered the default $3 plate of wanton noodle which came with a generous mound of noodle, char siew, chye sim and four wantons in a bowl of soup.

I like how the wanton noodle is served in the cockerel plate.

Similar to Zhenguang, Kiat Huat is also using the same thicker-than-usual mee kia. I personally dislike this type of mee kia because I find that it have a flour-y smell to it.

Even Ji Ji Wanton Noodle Specialist from Hong Lim Food Centre uses this type of noodle as well.

I only like the normal skinny mee kia.

As for the concoction of sauce, I am not quite sure what goes into it but it is not savory enough for my liking. The chili is not the usual sambal but comes with a lot of chili seeds.

As for the soup, it gave me the same homely feel with hints of anchovies and ginger just like Zhenguang although Kiat Huat's version is cloudier.

Their char siew fared slightly better than Zhenguang's while I find their boiled wantons rather uninspiring.

In conclusion, Kiat Huat Wanton Noodle does not rock my boat. I don't think it is bad, but itis not what I look for in a plate of wanton noodle.

I actually went back a second time to give them another chance. This time, I tried their fried wanton noodle.

Unfortunately, I still do not like the sauce and noodle and on both occasions, I could not finish the noodles. However, I must say I like their fried wantons a lot more than the boiled ones.
