China Whampoa Home Made Noodle - Whampoa Food Center

I dont know what it is about noodle soup that i really like. Is it the comfort of sipping hot soup? or the slurping of hot noodles that remind us of childhood days. Whampoa Market near Balestier road has a up and comning famous hand made noodle place.

And the lines here are very evident that the food here is good. They even take orders via phone so be ready to wait for your food,
This is my order of meatball and prawn in flat noodles.

You can choose what noodles you want, i got this kind just to try..
its is hand torn noodles.. very rustic.. cooked perfectly.. but if you will ask me, i will still go for the traditional thin long noodles, because with this type of noodles..not much slurping is needed.
The great thing about this dish is the clear soup that is flavored by crunchy ikan bilis. plus the use of fresh ingredients.


One of the best noodle soup places for me.. everythign was good from the noodle, to the soup and the fresh ingredients use.. no wonder people flock to eat this.

Shimbashi Soba - Paragon

I just love noodles, may it be Chinese la mian, to Japanese ramen, to Italian pastas, to Filipino pancit etc etc. I love slurping long strands of noodles or twirling it around my fork.
Shimbashi Soba is a relatively newcomer here in Singapore Restaurant Business. Singapore is more crazy over Ramen and opening a soba place does seem like a right idea to have us exposed to another type of Japanese Noodles.
Ordered the Chicken teriyaki don with Soba Set- The Chicken Teriyaki was quite nice. Tender Plump chicken cutlets fried perfect coated with a delicious teriyaki sauce that is just perfectly sweet and salty. The soba however was not as “QQ” as I want it to be, maybe because I ate the chicken rice first? I will try ordering the dry soba next time and see how it fares.
THis side salad was just okay.
Located in Basment 1 of Paragon.

Chew Kee Eating House

This road in Chinatown has 2 stall with the same name selling the same products. I came here to taste this one first and will try the other next time out. Ordered myself a Chicken Noodle set, which is a dry Chicken noodle with accompanying soup.
This is quite a change from chicken we are used to eat(Hainanese). THe soup i didnt like too much, it was a bit bland for me.
This chicken has a soft sweet skin and very flavorful meat. The noodles were quite ordinary egg noodles. The Chicken is what made the dish good. Tender and juicy. Will try out the other chicken place soon and compare

Lan Zhou La Mian - Chinatown

La Mian is a specialty in Northern China. There is a distinct technique of pulling and rolling the noodles out. Here in Singapore, this is the guy who mastered his noodle making,
Located in the middle of Chinatown. This noodle place packs in the customers.
He is proud of his noodle making skills that he stretches the dough in both direction, using both his left and right hand. He claims only he does this technique to have the noodles to be consistent on both end unlike the usual la mian where the maker only stretches the dough in one direction.
I ordered myself a ban mian. Which is like a Chinese Bolognese. Topped with minced pork in black bean sauce. The noodles were indeed very delicious and it was quite good.
The sauce though for me lacks character and depth. It tasted very underseasoned and could have used a bit more salt and pepper.

The noodles here were the clear STAR. They offer a lot of other things, but that’s for the next review.:)
