Dinner at Chomp Chomp Food Centre

Think of Chomp Chomp and the row of seafood barbeque stalls would most probably come to mind. However, a trip down on a monday night left me wondering; why so quiet? And then it struck me- many stalls are closed for business on mondays. So, no seafood for dinner.


Wanton Noodles Dry ($3, Swee Heng Wanton Noodles)


Recalling that this was one of the better stalls featured on Makansutra, i ordered a plate without hesitation. And then came the disappointment- a clump of undercooked dry starchy noodles that was hard to bite and lacked springyness. The sauce was solely chilli-dominated and the spicyness stayed in the mouth for long.

4 bite sized wantons came in a tasty peppery soup. But the best part had to be the savoury char siew- good to the bite and with minimal fats. I also noticed that green noodles were available so i may return to try that one day.


Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee ($5, Kims)


For $5, they were rather stingy with the portion of noodles. It was a wetter version but not fully bursting with taste; not my type of hokkien mee.


Prawn Popiah ($1.80, Popiah Mania)


Bad presentation. The ingredients were so loosely encased in that pathetically thin skin and most fell out of place. Fillings are to the cold side, little and lacked crunch.

Save the disappointment; avoid coming to Chomp Chomp on monday nights.
