I remember going to one of the flourishing humble restaurants in Singapore called “Encik Tan”. I must say that it's my go-to place when it comes to local delights, noodle dishes, and Chinese style curry rice.
On this night, I went for one of the local delight dishes, it's the Wanton Noodle. A dish that has the most variety of toppings and side dishes.
It's basically a noodle dish that is served with Char Siew pork, Wanton soup, & Deep-fried Wanton. When it comes to the sauce, there are two main options: tomato base sauce & chili-based sauce. On this night, I went for the tomato base sauce.
The noodles itself is perfectly cooked, I guess it's the last element of this dish that a Cook will fail. Almost everyone here knows how to prepare and cook a noodle perfectly.
When it comes to the toppings, the Char Siew is the tender type and slightly sweet. I've had a Char Siew before that is a savory type, which is also good. But I personally think the sweet type is best suited for a wanton noodle dish.
The wanton soup is substantial enough and has a generous amount of wanton in it. I think that the wanton is overdone as it easily breaks apart, I prefer the one that has chewy skin rather than this one which isn't firm enough.
The deep-fried wanton is slightly chewy and it lacks the “crunch” that I've been looking for in a fried wanton. The filing is substantial enough especially, that the price is affordable compared to other restaurants.
Overall, I would say that the food is passable and the price is affordable as well. The environment is also comfortable enough for me to eat conveniently. The food is something that I can eat every day considering the affordability.
