My opinion:

During breakfast and lunch hours, you will see a queue of at least 3 people. Besides minced meat, pork rib, prawn, dumpling and wanton noodles, they also sell ban mian, bee hoon, lor mee and mee sua. If you are a noodles lover, you will definitely find your favorite food here.

Their signature dish is wanton noodles, which costs around $2.00 to $2.50. The owners are very generous with ingredients. My food portion included 8 char siew slices and 3 wantons. Char siew meat is lean and tender. The wantons shape and taste are similar to siew mais. Noodles are bathed in spicy chili and thick noodle sauce. If you want to save up on drinks, their soup is healthier than those sold elsewhere in Singapore, as it is not too oily or salty.

It is almost impossible to find any fault with this stall. The uncle is very friendly and quite popular with the NUS students as well. This is one of the few places in our island nation that you get good service and delicious noodles at bargain prices.
