There’s definitely some truth to long lines in Singapore that goes beyond reputation (aka just solid good food that needs to be appreciated more). Whether you’re dropping by Kim Huat Wanton Mee for breakfast or lunch, you won’t be disappointed!
The Three Treasure Mala Special Noodles boasted really quite nice roasts, with sweet, caramelly, charred and tender char siew, thick, smoky and honeyed Chinese sausage, and savoury and balanced sio bak with a solid crackling. The only thing was the sio bak came in sizes that were too small to be satisfying. The noodles were crunchy, and had a gentle sweetness and spiciness, and some ma la fragrance without the ma la numbness.
Very simple and tasty flavours, moderately savoury spicy with soft chewy noodles, normal bouncy fishballs, and crispy and fragrant lard. I can see why it’s a favourite in the neighbourhood, with solid reliable old school and not too forward flavours.
The fishballs were bouncy and the meatballs tasty and a bit more textural, although the noodles were quite generic.

It’s no wonder many residents come flocking to 昇记 Sheng Ji Fishball Noodle! There’s not only good food to look forward to, but stellar customer service as well! Now I’m having high expectations of their fried kway teow as well, which means I’ll be back here in the near future!
Overall, the stall’s comforting wanton mee and warm service make a winning combination that’s worth getting up early for!

This was quite an ordinary carrot cake though, unevenly fried with various parts harder, sweeter or more charred, and lacking the eggy fragrance that I like.
This old-school wanton mee was not bad, with some savouriness from the oyster sauce, some sweetness from the char siew and some fragrance from the pork lard. The char siew was sticky and sweet, and the shui jiao full and tasty with a whole prawn within. 7.5/10.
