Wanton mee from 125 Bukit Merah Lane 1

125 Bukit Merah Lane 1, wanton mee 云吞面

The mention of this nameless wanton noodle stall (125 Bukit Merah Lane 1) has been popping up like mushrooms after the rain lately on social media. I was curious because of the fried egg that they have as an option. Apparently there's a story behind why there's the egg but I won't be going into that.

That's the $4 portion above with two eggs and chilli. Loved those eggs because they weren't over fried and had molten yolk. Appreciated the drizzle of dark soy sauce on them.

The flavour of the noodles were nice in a light savoury kind of way - with the wiry noodles (no alkali taste) laced with lard and those red dyed lean slices of char siew. Those fried eggs with molten yolk were what drew me to this stall in the first place and I loved all the golden yellow that bled into the noodles.

This one's $3 with an egg and no chilli.

The portions here aren't big. Not by any far stretch of imagination. Chilli sauce was okay but not particularly outstanding. It lent a bit of heat but couldn't get much of any other flavour from it. Probably because there wasn't so much of it.

Wanton had smooth skin, were small and meaty. Some salt would make them tastier.

Kopi di lo from this coffee shop was drinkable stuff. I would come back for the wanton mee again because of those eggs.

  1. you don't need to go back to eat that wanton mee just for the eggs. lots of places are selling that kind of eggs.

  2. Do you know of any other wtm stalls that also do fried eggs like these? Am open to recommendations.

    Agree on the char siew part. Not a fan as well.
