Eng Kee Wanton Mee - Bukit Batok St 11

I've been spending much of my time these days at Bukit Batok and had searched out the resident eats in the area. One of which had led me to a maze of a cluster of shops, but I found one of the best Hokkien Mee hidden from the limelight. 

Having a craving for old school wanton mee, I googled it and it led me back to the same coffeeshop! What used to be named Li Soon, changed its name to Broadway coffeeshop after the previous owner left its tenants in the lurch running away with their deposits. 

Eng Kee's Wanton Mee is indeed old school. Something you would remember eating in your school canteen. Its noodle texture is similar to that of Pontian, springy and fuller than the average factory made ones with a fuller bite. 

The Char Siew (Barbequed Pork) looks dry but turns out to be merely a good piece of Lean meat, still tender. Its sauce is unlike the normal dark soya sauce base, and more like Nam Seng's salt base. With a dash of broth and salt, stirred with Chilli paste, you get a Light and Flavourful base to slurp your noodles with. Almost like a Soba Tsuyu. 

The Wanton is equally nostalgic. Not something to wow about, just nostalgic.
