Hao Hao Noodle House is another popular noodle stall at Commonwealth Crescent Market & Food Centre.
The stall sells a variety of noodles like wanton noodle, sui kow noodle, Ipoh hor fun, mushroom & chicken feet noodle, and laksa.
Being a fan of wanton noodle ($3), I have to order a plate of my favorite noodle. It is self-service here so you order, make your payment and wait to collect your food.
I was watching the chef blanch my noodles when he suddenly toss them high into the air and catching it deftly in his ladle with precision. That was totally unanticipated! I thought such flying acts could only be found in Malaysia.
My wanton noodle comes with some chye sim and char siew sitting on a bed of mee kia while the wantons were in the bowl of soup. I helped myself to the green pickled chili placed outside the stall.
The noodle is already tossed in the sauce for you so you do not have to do it yourself. There is not too much visible sauce on the plate but the noodle is well-coated with the sauce and flavorful.
There are three wantons in the accompanying bowl of soup. I could taste the natural sweetness of the minced meat without that heavy marinade.
As for the char siew, it is dry and tough. Eating it is like biting into cardboard.
It is very... unmemorable.
The highlight of the dish ought to be the springy noodle that come with a delectable bite. I am pretty sure it has got something to do with the aerodynamic display I witnessed earlier.
Of course, the sauce plays an integral role. It has this old school flavor which I adore. I can simply have the noodle in this delicious concoction without any ingredients especially the char siew.
For the price, the portion of the wanton noodle is alright but it is not filling enough for me.
