Long Kee Wanton Noodle

I had heard quite a fair bit about Long Kee Wanton Noodle, often recommended as one of the must-try stalls at 505 Jurong West Market & Food Centre. With a day off on hand, we decided to head over to Jurong West for a comforting bowl of Wanton Mee for breakfast.

As expected on a weekday morning, the hawker centre was mostly filled with retirees. Long Kee, however, stood out immediately with its snaking queue, which I assumed was the norm whenever they are in operation. Despite the long line, the lady taking orders was friendly, and to my surprise, the queue moved along at a decent pace.

I ordered the Wanton Mee with chilli, and lo and behold, this plate checked every box on my personal Wanton Mee checklist. It was a bowl full of nostalgia, the kind of noodles I would yearn for from my childhood. The slices of char siew were lean, not the glossy, oil-laden kind, but more of a steamed-style preparation. While the dish may look simple at first glance, the noodles were well tossed in seasoning and paired beautifully with their fiery chilli sauce, making each bite deeply satisfying.

The wantons were pleasant too, with two pieces served per bowl, simple, comforting, and well done.

Given the long queue, I figured it would be a waste not to try more, so I went ahead and ordered an additional bowl of dumpling soup.

The dumplings were plump and generously filled with well-seasoned minced meat. What stood out were the chunks of chestnut, which added a refreshing texture and an appetising bite, rounding off the experience nicely.

If I ever return to Long Kee Wanton Noodle, I would definitely order their chicken feet and mushroom noodles as well, alongside their classic wanton noodles, this time without chilli, to better savour the flavours.
