Ji Ji Noodle House (基記麵家), Hong Lim Food Centre

Ji Ji Noodle House (基記麵家), Hong Lim Food Centre

I've only taken notice of this stall (#02-48/49 Hong Lim Food Centre, 531A Upper Cross Street) recently. They're located along the interior facing units just to the left of Lee Kheong Roasted Delicacy (李强烧臘) or three units to the right of Eddy's (艾迪1号). The thing that most people seem to be eating from them are their wanton noodle. Which I didn't get because the curry chicken cutlet noodle looked/sounded more appealing.

Those things on the top right are not tissue paper - I added boiled wanton. I like this bowl. Curry was comparable to the one from Cantonese Delights so it's creamy and deliciously savoury with a mild heat. Kind hard to tell which stall has the better curry noodle at this point but I definitely preferred getting these two compared to the soup-y poached chicken ones from Heng Kee and Ah Heng.

A pleasant surprise was the couple of stalks of non-fibrous kailan - what a gem! If it wasn't so visible from the picture, portions of the chicken chop were pretty generous and it even came with crispy chicken skin. I guess what also ultimately help tip the scales for me was the noodles that weren't soggy.

They have a machine for payment which dispenses change. Not something one normally sees in hawker food stalls.
