Hua Kee Hougang Famous Wan Ton Mee @ Old Airport Road Hawker Centre [Singapore] #oldairportroadhawkercentre

I started patronizing Old Airport Road Hawker Centre only after I secured my driving license back in year 2005 and back then; there were just a few popular stalls and one of them was Hua Kee Hougang Famous Wan Ton Mee.

Circle Line wasn't built yet but people would travel from far and lined up patiently to have the wanton mee that had obtained many accolades over the years. The hawker centre is a lot more crowded now and in comparison, the queue at Hua Kee didn't seem that exceptional.

Let's order their signature wanton mee! Note: the chilli was just dumped onto the noodle upon your request, and not mixed in like most, if not all, their competitors. 

The use of dark sauce pointed towards the Malaysian style of wanton mee which has its own group of lovers and haters. I personally enjoyed it as there's a sweeter tinge although the level of affection would be similar towards our local, classic wanton mee too. Noodle were thicker than our conventional mee kia with a more satisfactory bite, and so slurpy with the sauce and chilli!  

Char siew and wantons were forgettable in taste. The wantons (dumplings) were surprisingly quite big though as many wanton mee stalls had pathetically sized ones; to the extent I don't understand why they even put them in! Maybe for decoration. 

Cleaned it up - to be frank, not the best wanton mee but still above average. Problem is the location as there are just too many good food stalls in the same hawker centre, and I only have one stomach.
