Quan Soon Wanton Noodle @ Teban Garden Food Centre - One Of The Cheapest Wanton Mee At $2

Further down the row of stalls of JH Fishball Noodle at Teban Garden Food Centre is Quan Soon Wanton Noodle. Quan Soon Wanton Noodle is owned by 62 years old Madam Wong who has been offering cheap and affordable food for the neighbourhood for the past 37 years. You can get a plate of wanton mee for $2 at her stall.

Wanton Mee 3.5/5

The stall sells a variety of noodle dishes such as Wanton Mee, Laksa and Prawn Noodle, all at a low price of $2. Madam Wong has continued to sell her noodles at $2 because there are many old people which do not have a lot of money in the estate and she wanted to provide affordable food which can help to fill their stomach.

Wanton Mee 3.5/5

My plate of wanton mee dry for a mere $2 comes with springy noodles, 2 wantons, slices of char siew  and some vegetables. I enjoyed the texture of the noodle as well as the wanton which is stuffed with minced pork and chestnut, I can even taste hints of dry sole fish in the wanton filling.

For those that is looking for something for substantial, you can also go for the larger portion at $2.50 or $3. The plate of wanton mee may not be the best but it does come with that old school flavours, bringing back my childhood memories.

XIAN (鲜) Seafood White Beehoon @ Ubi Ave 1 - The Ultimate White Beehoon With Fresh Seafood

The latest trend in the food scene has to be Seafood White Beehoon. Within this year, many such stalls have opened around the island at various corner of Singapore. One of the latest such stalls is Xian (鲜) Seafood White Beehoon at Ubi Ave 1, opened by owner of Cafe de Hong Kong, Mr Francis Mak and his two partners.

Crayfish White Beehoon 4.5/5

Unlike Cafe de Hong Kong where owner Mr Francis Mak offers an array of cooked dishes, XIAN offers only one dish on the menu, the seafood white beehoon. Well actually you have 4 choices. There are La La Shrimp White Beehoon ($5/$8/$12), Mixed Seafood White Beehoon ($10/$15/$20), Crayfish White Beehoon ($15/$20/$25) and Flower Crab White Beehoon ($20/$30).

Crayfish White Beehoon 4.5/5

We had the Crayfish White Beehoon ($15/$20/$25) which is cooked in a superior stock that consists of chicken feet, old mother hen and pork ribs. You will get hint of smokiness from the silky beehoon because it is fried separately first to get that wok hei. Upon ordering, the cook will then cook the beehoon and seafood together in the milky stock.

Besides the silky white beehoon, it also comes with crayfish, prawns and clams swimming in the delicious broth packed with seafood essence. And look what I discovered in the broth, pork lard! No wonder it was so delicious.

Although I have not tried all the various seafood white beehoon stalls around Singapore, XIAN is definitely one of the stalls that I will go back again for its fresh seafood, smooth beehoon and most important that robust seafood stock that brings the dish together.
