Jurong West 505 Market & Food Centre has no lack of wanton noodle stalls. Based on my memory, there are at least four of them but there could be more though as I did not really go and count.

Apart from Kok Kee Wanton Noodle, the other notable one with a perpetual queue is Long Kee Wanton Noodles.

I have tried their chicken feet noodle before which is not too bad. The chicken feet were well-braised and tender and I remember liking it very much then. This time, I tried their wanton noodle which comes in two different sizes at $3 and $4.

The noodles were springy and firm to the bite. I especially like the concoction of sauce coating the strands of noodles. I could eat this noodles "kosong" (sans the ingredients) if only they sell it this way.

Long Kee Wanton Noodle had three average-tasting wantons and were of a moderate size. There are more folds of skin then there is minced meat.

Their char siew were just slightly better than Kok Kee's but still not very pleasing to the palate. Unfortunately, this kind of char siew is the norm in our local wanton noodle so I did not actually harbor any hopes for it.

Just like Kok Kee Wanton Noodles, Long Kee had good sauce and noodles but disappointing char siew and wantons.

I wonder why is it so difficult to find that perfect plate of wanton noodle which comes with nicely caramelized char siew and plump wantons?
