wantan mee @ 12 rowell road
finally got to eat the wantan mee at rowell road. had been hunting for it since last year. thought it was at rowell court but had walked past the small food court along rowell road a few times and could not find any stall selling wantan mee. when i was eating beancurd at beancurd city at jalan besar earlier this year, i asked the owner about the famous wantan mee. she told me it could be the one at syed alwi road.
true enough, there was one stall in a coffee shop along syed alwi road which had a sign proclaiming that it was the famous wantan mee. i have been sceptical of all these famous labels since eating noodles from one of these self proclaimed famous stalls at abc food court at bukit merah.
then one day i decided to walk the length of rowell road, from jalan besar end to the serangoon road end when i caught sight of this banner and the makansutra trademark. i knew right away that i had found the stall. did not eat that day because i had eaten pork ribs noodles from another well-known stall along verdun road.
the wantan mee is prepared in a slightly different way. you get fried wonton, shui jiao, big char siew pieces and watercress - not your normal chye sim - tossed in soya sauce.
another difference here is that the man who takes your order for drinks is deaf and dumb. the wantan lady communicates with him using hand signs. also, on each table, there is a minibox of tissues.
verdict: i still prefer to wantan mee sold at lavendar food court. the rowell road shop is open for business between 7.30 a.m. and 1.30 p.m. it is closed on tuesdays.
