ENG's Wantan Noodle - 287 Tanjong Katong Rd

Their chilli sauce is the BOMB!! It’s super spicy even for someone who takes extra spicy for Mala Xiang Guo.

Always a good meal here. The chili with the "beware spicy" is really ? but worth it. 100% recommended if you're around the area. Never tried the branches always visit the main outlet at Katong.

Comparing this wanton noodle to the one opposite (with almost the same name), I still prefer the noodle from this shop - maybe because I was "brought up" with this style/taste as compared to the one opposite the road (yes, I've tried both). The noodle is more "QQ" and the soup is tastier. Now, they even offer ngoh hiang (pork sausages, prawn fritters, crackers, fishcakes, etc.)! More varieties than it used to be - just wonton noodles and fried wontons. Maybe it's a good thing when there's a direct competition just opposite the road! The reason why only 3 stars from me because.... The taste... Somehow is not the same as before... The "QQ" of the noodle is not as before, more hard now than the "bouncy" feel before... and the soup is not as "brothy" as before. Maybe I'm older now so the taste bug has deteriorated :) Still, worth the trip and now, they have many more branches for your convenience!... Update (15 Jul 2022)... Totally disappointed as the taste of the noodle is not as before and somehow, it's saltier. What happened?! Change of chef or reduced in ingredients quality because of inflation? I know there could be many reasons for the drop in standard of taste (though it is very personal to me), I'll think twice if I want to come back.... Parking is fairly convenient at the back...

Above average wanton mee, price was reasonable! Love the noodles, not a fan of the char siew, They do offer free flow portions of their famous chilli sauce+lard fritters+green chilli

Lardy, fragrant, old school taste wanton noodles. Perfectly enhanced by spicy chili sauce

I really enjoy the food here and just thinking about their spicy hot sauce makes my mouth water. To be clear though, it is quite spicy and people who don't eat spicy food should be careful about how much they try the first time. For veterans, try dipping the pork in the hot sauce. The experience is divine.

4 stars - Very good, definitely worth a visit if you like this kind of food. Visited the Katong area hoping to eat at Little Italy, but they were closed and so we went for a walk. Gave some thought to the two wantan noodle stores just opposite each other, but decided to go with the Original Store based on number of Google reviews (1,400 vs 400). Apparently the original stall is a franchise with the ex-head chef, while the new stall is set up by the founder’s children. Ordered 1 x big wantan noodles, 1 x small wantan noodles, 1 large plate of fried wantans, and a drink. Total damage: $8.50 per person. Fairly reasonable. Portions were large and generous with the ingredients. Chili (spicy, be warned!) and pork lard on free flow. Noodles were springy and tasty in the sauce, despite looking rather plain. Char siew was not too dry, and soup wantans were actually pretty smooth and meaty. Fried wantans a little greasy, but still nice. Soup deserves a special mention: usually overly salty at most wantan noodle stalls, this soup is flavourful without sending your sodium levels through the roof. Will be back to try the competition (apparently “runned” by descendants) and decide which is better. But honestly, if it’s in the same ballpark, both probably serve very good wantan noodles for the price point.

$5.50 for one small bowl of Wanton Mee is just too expensive and it’s not filling for lunch. The noodles texture isn’t right. It’s not Q. Last but not least, if they want to raise the price, jolly well provide more noodles to justify it. Else it doesn’t make sense to me. There are plenty of alternatives for $5.50.
