Just so you know, there are two different “ENGs” selling Wanton Noodles in Singapore which branched out from the famous wanton noodles stall at Dunman Food Centre known for its fiery chilli sauce.
This is called “Eng’s Char Siew Wantan Mee”, which is operated under the son and two daughters of the founder.

Its menu is lean, with signature Wantan Mee ($4.50, $5.50), Boiled Wantan ($3, $4, $5), Fried Wantan ($3, $4, $5), and Boiled Vegetables ($3, $4, $5).
If you are craving a good old-school bowl of Wanton Mee, then you can head over here. Give it a good toss, and you should enjoy the flavourful mix and pork lard fragrance.
Good to know: Spice lovers would love their renowned fiery chilli sauce, though they tamed it down slightly “to suit the office crowd around”.

Opening Hours: 11am – 10pm (Mon – Sun)
Braised Pork Rice or Lu Rou Fan seems to be getting traction in Singapore, as local diners crave for Taiwanese dishes popular in their night markets.
