The claypot rice is really very very good. The ingredients and salted fish is really a lot! It’s one of the best I had eaten!!! 😍 The wantons are big and savoury and flavourful. The char siu is with slight chao ta and is really tok gong! …

Tried Deng Wen Hi’s white-style wanton mee and it was excellent! The noodle texture was springy and well-cooked, and the generous serving of pork lard gave it a rich, fragrant kick. A satisfying and delicious bowl that’s worth coming back for.

In the words of my date, and later on, not even in the heat of the moment: "I think that was the best wanton mee I've ever tasted." …
Sharon Ng
Love their wanton noodles here!
This time we had Claypot rice. Ordered half hour in advance. It was pipping hot when served. …

If you’re heading there to eat claypot rice, do call in earlier to pre-order.
You can also call in to order for takeaway and pick up about 30-45 mins later. …
