Just across from Tai Seng Noodle House at Amoy Street Food Centre is Wah Kee Noodle - another stall specializing in Cantonese-styled Wanton Mee that is run by a husband and wife team.

After placing my order with the husband, the wife is heard raising her voice at him over some petty issues like having not enough bowls. I think I caught them at a bad timing as the atmosphere inside the stall is a little tense.

I had thought of cancelling my order and going over to Tai Seng instead but, I was worried that I would incur lady-boss' wrath so I awkwardly waited for my order in front of the stall while she continue berating her husband who just kept his silence throughout.

The moment my order is ready, I quickly scoot off with my noodles! That few minutes felt like forever!

Drama aside, the noodles coated with the sauce actually tasted quite good. There is a substantial amount of noodle in the plate topped by char siew and a whole stalk of chye sim.

The noodle is springy, with the sauce quite similar to Tai Seng's style. However, Wah Kee fare better in terms of char siew with the bits of fat!

The soup comes with four average-sized wantons which are pretty average tasting.

Wah Kee also sell other noodle dishes like Chicken Hor Fun and Beef Brisket Noodles which I heard is very popular as well. I guess that means more revisit to Amoy Street Food Centre!
