At Old Airport Road Food Centre, there's actually 2 pretty famous wanton mee stall which is facing the main road, both just separate by a drink stall.
Both stalls have their own loyal group of followers, and to distinguish them, one have the queue number, one does not. In this case, this is the one that does not have it.
Looking for a late night dinner last night, by the time I was there, the other stall was already closed, so decided to have my wanton mee at this stall.
Ordered a $4 wanton mee, and there's was not that many people when I was there (around 10 - 11pm), and did not have to wait that long. As you can see from the photos, the wanton mee is served using the traditional porcelain bowls, though the soup are in plastic bowls. Portion wise, is actually quite a lot. Coming to the taste, the chilli is pretty good, though I find the noodle just so so, which I think maybe be a little under cooked (I actually prefer my wanton mee softer) though it might be good for others. Nevertheless, it is still a pretty decent bowl of wanton mee.
For those who have tried both, which do you prefer? I know there's also quite a few other wanton mee stalls in this food centre too, which are good and not as famous.

Finally pop by here again to try the pork chop. At $6, you get 2 slabs of pork chop, one rather large, the other around half the size. You also get quite generous serving of fries, beans and a bun.
Wow! The pork chop here is really nice! There's a thick layer of fat at the edge of the pork chop. The pork chop is grilled such that the fatty portion is crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. When you bite the fatty portion in your mouth, can feel all the oil squirting inside ya mouth. hahahaah.... really yummy :) The meat itself is also very tender as well.
Really good pork chop!

this place has their speciality sambal beacan. should hv tried their mee goreng mamak style & nasi goreng with sambal belacan. they also add sambal belacan to their fried kuey teow.
the rest of the dishes i believe you have tried & yes...the fruit plate @ d end of the meal is pretty standard. been going to this place on a monthly basis for the last few years.

Came here for dinner yesterday. As my preferred Whitley Road prawn noodle was not opened, decided to eat at this stall. Realised they have introduced a clam + prawn noodle, which is something new. Decided to ordered one ($5) and try.
Basically, instead of your usual pork ribs + prawn, they just replaced the pork ribs with clams. I find the clams a bit tough or rubbery though, but nevertheless, the overall is still tasty.
