Update: Wei Ji Noodle House has permanently closed.
Sick of having the usual at Chinatown Complex market & Food Centre, I walked around the food centre, hoping to uncover something new for lunch when I stumbled upon Wei Ji Noodle House.
Hidden at a inconspicuous part of the complex, business is sluggish - or at least that's what it appears to be - when I was there just before noon. This is a striking contrast to the other stalls just round the corner.
Nevertheless, I decided to give it a try and ordered myself a plate of wanton mee.
The person taking my order is quite aloof who made no effort to take my order even though I was standing there in front of the stall for a good whole minute.
I had to take the initiative to call out to him what I wanted. Even then, there was no communication between us during the entire transaction as I am the only one doing all the talking.
I wonder is that part of the reason for the lack of business?
Tossing my noodles, I realized the sauce is very plain which I guess is just a simple concoction of pork lard oil and soy sauce. However, it taste surprisingly yummy to me!
This wanton mee tastes absolutely better than its looks.
I am very excited with this discovery!

There are about 4 or 5 boiled wantons. I totally forgot to count because I am too excited about the noodles! The minced pork is not too heavily marinated and is quite enjoyable with the crunchy water chestnuts.
Although there are not a lot of char siew, at least the pieces are not paper thin. The char siew is tender with bits of fat and the charred edges that I like. I could taste the sweetness of the marinade unlike some tasteless char siew out there.
As for the noodles, they are springy with the eggy fragrance. I simply love the noodles coated with the simple sauce. Less is more, I think.
Then there are quite a bit of finely diced pork lard which lend some fragrance to the noodles.
I am quite delighted with the discovery of Wei Ji Noodle House even though the noodles impressed me more than the service itself.
