The bowl of noodles soup is stomach-filling and comforting. I would not mind going back again for more.
An old school stall relocated from Tanglin Halt. The Lotus Seed Thick Soup had a bit of bite and was tender without being mushy, and had a slight fragrance and was not overly sweet. Subtle dessert.
The old school wanton noodles were slightly thicker, springy and wiry, with a very nice flavour and fragrance from the lardy sauce, mostly savoury and slightly sweet. The wantons were smooth but slight floury, and the char siew slightly sweet and tough. The noodles and sauce were the key attraction here.
Good Japanese flavour with the shoyu, unlike the miso which was more subtle and not so easily identified. The noodles were cooked well and springy, and all the various toppings – Japanese charshu, sliced pork, minced pork, pork balls, deep fried lard and mock abalone – were tender and fresh.
Tong Kee Chicken Rice has moved to the new Margaret Drive Hawker Centre. Be prepared to queue for their popular roast chicken!

They seriously did everything very well, and with pride. Very nice.

This was really an iconic stall here, which has been here like forever. Although the prata wasn’t freshly made, and looked like it had been lying there for a while (up to lunchtime), there was a very nice fragrance to the dough and good chewiness, which was really apparent in the plain prata. Not bad.
The roast pork and char siew are generally nothing to write home about.
