Let’s talk about the famous Ah Kiat Wanton Mee. Ah Kiat’s story began in Ipoh. He helped at his mother’s food stall from a young age. When he came to Singapore, he honed his skills. Fate led him to his godmother. She owned Bai Li Wanton Mee at this very market.
Ah Kiat learned the ropes from her. He carried on her legacy. When his godmother retired, he took over the stall. With respect, he renamed it Ah Kiat Wanton Mee. He opens his stall at 6 am. He prepares ingredients with dedication.
His Reunion Noodle is a must-try. It includes char siew, wantons, and dumplings. It also has chicken feet, mushrooms, and minced pork. The springy noodles complete the dish. The shrimp dumplings are large and juicy. They contain prawn, minced pork, and black fungus. Sesame paste is his secret ingredient.
His char siew is grilled to perfection. It’s tender, fatty, and slightly chewy. Don’t forget the braised chicken feet and mushrooms.
But there’s more than just wanton mee here. Soon Soon Prawn Noodle is another popular choice. Their dry bee hoon mee is flavourful. The chilli packs a punch.
