Hong Lim Food Center| Singapore | Chapter 1
“You don’t need a silver fork to eat good food” — Paul Prudhomme
J i Ji Noodle doesn’t need an introduction when you are in Hong Lim Food Center in Chinatown. And why not ? Michelin star from 2016 until now (2022) serves one of the best wanton noodles.
By the way, you will definitely find long queues during lunch hours and it may take approx 1 hour +/- waiting time. One thing unique about this stall is their cashier machine which I think may help them to handle money much efficiently and is automated.
They have wide range of offerings right from their signature dish to dumpling noodles, Chicken cutlet noodle, braised soy sauce chicken noodle, mom’s curry chicken noodles etc is offered in different sizes ranging from S$4.5 till S$8.50.
We tried their classic signature dish “Char Siew Wanton noodle” which includes egg noodles (which is customised for Ji Ji Noodles), boiled dumplings, good portion of Char Siew (pork pieces), Chow Sum (Cai Xin), fried wanton, mushrooms, pork lard. You can order them either dry or soup.
The noodles is accompanied with a typical chilly paste (which has fried small fish), green chillies is served separately has an unique flavour in itself.
The Char Siew is an homemade preparation is well marinated and tender in texture. Each slice is very well caramelised on the edges and moist in the centre of the pork. The crispy fried wanton is crunchy and fried (stuffed with pork) is also one of the standout ingredient in the dish.
They are open from morning 8am-7pm and closed usually on Thursdays
Price : Offers different sizes ranging from S$4.5 till S$8.50.
