I am someone who loves wanton mee without those thick brown sauce, thus Koka Wanton Mee is my favorite as it has the kind of taste I am looking for. Very traditional and authentic taste. This stall only operates from 11pm at night till 3am, closed every Sunday. The waiting time is approximately 1 hour after you place the order with the aunty. If you want to have more ingredients in your noodles, just go for the $6 portion, it's very nice!!! Highly recommended place if you are looking for wanton mee for your supper with friends or family.
Seriously I am testing my patience to eat this….
So is it worth the wait?
2hrs
Hmmmmm
Honestly the noodle is very good …. The wonton is actually better then the noodle!!!!
It outshine it anytime.
However base on my 8friends
They all say the take away one is much better….
That the irony for you!!!
First time I heard it. So I was lucky to take away 2 extra packet to try.
Have fun waiting
(Forgot to take pictures, so here are screengrabs!)
Maybe it was the excitement of the unknown. The draw of doing what Singaporeans do best.. queue for food. Cos if people are waiting, then it MUST be good right?
Though many a stall has disappointed with that said theory, I'm glad Koka didn't. I would have imagined being harsher in my judgement, having waited so long for a 'simple' dish. But being very honest with myself, I didn't find anything that made me frown with bitter resentment whilst nomming down my meal.
Sure the wan ton was basic, the char siew wasn't spectacular, and the wait was torturous. But the flavour in the sauce, and the soup were pretty amazing to me. And as I mentioned, nothing was bad to the point I felt wronged by it.
Yes, I know I repeated the word "good", and "nice" multiple times in the video. I attribute that to fatigue and delirium. But also to the fact that the flavours in the dish had my tongue twisted, which rarely happens.
I'm really glad to have tasted this plate of Wan Ton Mee, in all its full bodied flavours, fragrant aroma, and amidst a strange yet appreciative experience that one has to endure to get to the final stage of consumption. Really happy to have pushed the comfort zone here, and now to plan how and when the 2nd tasting will be.
How comfortable are you?
