Fei Fei Roasted Noodle Blk 254 Jurong East St 24 #01-28, Yuhua Village Mkt & Food Ctr (Map) 8.30am – 11.55am Sun & Mon
One bite into their noodle and you'll know what Cantonese folks mean by "song hao" or delightful in the mouth. It has a crunchy and thin al dente goodness about it and the sauce is made with roast cha siu drippings with hints of sesame oil. The roasted cha siu is the main act – it comes brown (not the usual fake red) with burnt edges and a well caramelised marinade. There's always a line and their operating hours are short; they often sell out well before their official closing hour. If you go early, like at 8.30am and get in line before they open, add their smoky and juicy roast duck to the equation and you'll realise just how sensational this meal can be.
Hua Kee Hougang Famous Wanton Mee 51 Old Airport Road, # 01-02 Singapore 390051 (Map) 10am – 10pm Mon & Tue
Incredibly, a fourth generation of the Voo family, now helps helm this stall, together with his father and grandfather. This is little win for continuity in Singapore's hawker business. They make all the ingredients on site - from the softly roasty cha siew, the noodles (made off site) sambal chilli concoction, wanton and of course the soup. The noodles are thinner than usual and are blanched at a certain temperature and duration and yields a nicely aldente and resilients texture. It does not have a heavy taste of alkali as many such factory-made noodles are wont to have. The sambal chili has just enough heat and sting and you must toss the noodles thoroughly before you tear in. The wanton is meaty and very comforting and the cha siew, is liked because of its softness and roasty aroma.
