Review Fei Fei Roasted Noodle @ Yuhua Jurong • Michelin Wanton Mee Singapore

Fei Fei Roasted Noodle is one my favourite wanton mee stalls in Singapore. No - actually, I know of no better char siew wanton mee in Singapore. (Checked Aug 2021, I still stand by this statement.)

Note: This Fei Fei 肥肥 of Jurong has no relationship with the Fei Fei 飞飞 of Joo Chiat.

Fei Fei 肥肥 Wanton Mee of Jurong not the Fei Fei 飛飛 of Joo Chiat Singapore

Today, I managed to lure my "Eat Gang" out of their usual haunts in Singapore's fancied east to the island's ulu (remote) west. Our motley crew were on our own Journey to the West in search of the truth about Singapore's two famous wanton mee stalls, Fei Fei and Fei Fei. Here is one where West (Jurong) is preferred over the East (Joo Chiat), to my simple taste buds.

Fei Fei Wanton Noodle Mee at YuHua Village in Singapore 肥肥烧腊.云吞麵

Fei Fei wanton noodles 肥肥烧腊.云吞麵 at YuHua Villlage in Jurong East was a favourite from my pre-blogging days. (Note: This is not the Fei Fei of Joo Chiat.)

On most Sundays, after climbing Bukit Timah hill, we would adjourn to YuHua Village and Market for brunch. Sweaty and hungry, we will often queue 45 minutes to 1 hour for Fei Fei's wanton mee.

We will slurp up the crunchy noodles and lap up the lardy sauce to the last drop.

Seriously.

Very last drop.

Today, I picked a Monday morning 10:00am to avoid the long queue.

But, still.....

Fei Fei's famous char siew and roast duck hung seductively in the tiny window, keeping us entertained as we inched our way slowly to the front of the queue.

Tommy (aka Fei Fei, fatty in Cantonese colloquialism as Tony used to be plumper built) and Jenny have been tending their little wanton noodle and roasts stall for 38 years now.

Their daughter was helping out at the stall today. I asked if she is going to carry on the family legacy. Jenny said no. She doesn't want her children to carry on the hard life of a hawker as they did.

My SGD3 wanton mee (2015 price) comes with a bowl of soup and wantons, after about 30 minutes wait.

The mound of egg noodles after a good tossing in the drippy slick aromatic sauce.

The egg noodles were cooked till soft al dente; tender with a distinct bouncy crunch and light spring. The noodles were slightly eggy and had very subtle hints of alkaline (of the good kind). The sauce was slick with aromatic lard and had a savoury sweet flavour. The sauce was laced with addictive char siew drippings. I remember this as the good old style of wanton mee from my childhood.

The wanton noodles were topped with a small heap of Fei Fei's famous char siew. Tommy roasts his own char siew and roast duck at the stall everyday, starting work at 3:00am. A good hawker's day is so long! Tommy still uses charcoal to roast his meats.

The charcoal roasted fat and lean char siew was tender and juicy inside while the outside was crisp as it was charred and caramelised. The char siew tasted savoury sweet, almost like a marshmallow candy saturated with savoury sweet juice with slight smokiness.

The small bowl of clear wanton soup had nice anchovy flavour. The two good sized wantons were filled with minced pork, shrimps and tee poh (dried flat fish).

Excellent wantons.

Fei Fei provides a good sambal chili with lots of hae bee (dried shrimps) inside. I didn't used it much as I like the original flavour of Fei Fei's tossing sauce.

Fei Fei 肥肥 is one of my favourite wanton mee in Singapore, JB, KL, Hong Kong or New York City.
