椿风满面 (Chun Feng Man Mian) Chun Noodle Bar - Amoy

Underrated. The wanton mee is delicious and IMO better than other famous wanton mee stalls in the CBD area (queue is shorter too). I have eaten here a few times and the quality is consistent. The noodles are the best part of the dish as they are QQ with a similar consistency as Msia style wanton mee. The soup is another distinctive element as it is closer to Japanese tonkotsu style - richer and more flavourful while not being overly cloying. The char siew and wantons are also pretty good. Pictured in the photo is the $5 Signature Char Siew Wanton Mee. They have other more "unique" flavours (e.g. truffle / mala) which I've never tried as I prefer more traditional flavours. Would also like to commend the old auntie who takes orders as she is always very friendly and helpful.

Tried the signature char siew noodles at 椿风满面. The noodles were springy and enjoyable, but I didn’t really like the fatty char siew as it wasn’t quite to my taste. The dish is served in a nicely styled bowl, which gives the meal a bit of a different feel. Prices are slightly on the higher side, but overall it’s a decent option if you’re in the mood for something a little more refined than your usual noodle bowl.

Had the larger $7 signature char siew noodle and it was very good! The char siew have the right amount of fat and honey glazing, the noodle is springy, chilli sauce goes well with everything (add more it’s not enough). The wonton soup that came with it was surprisingly nice compare to the usual standard fare from other similar stores. Can use paywave! Mark it down for the smaller portion even for the up size $7. Another great eats at Amoy!

Ordered the Truffle Char Siu Noodles for $9. Takes paywave. Serving size on the smaller end, but what a delicious and luxurious feeling lunch! Came with noodles with the he unmistakable aroma of truffles. The truffle is not heady, and is there to complement rather than dominate flavours. A scattering of crispy fried pork lard is also welcome. The Iberico pork char siu was melt in your mouth lovely, with great balance of flavours. Not too sweet, and not too salty. The wontons were small and crispy, but I couldn’t taste distinct notes in the filling - seem to add crunch and texture mostly. Sauce is nice too. Also the soup is a proper broth, goes really well with the richness of the noodles. Great food!

Rating: 4.8 / 5 stars On first sight — a tiny bit pretentious, like the fusion ramens of Amoy. However, I was quickly proven wrong. This is easily the best char siew wanton mee in Amoy Street, hands down. The store has few but solid offerings and at a reasonable price point. Here’s what to expect: - Char Siew: an appropriate cut with a good amount of fat, the meat was well marinated and caramalised. - Noodles: fairly standard, but executed well. The seasoning sauce mix used works - Chilli: was slightly sambal-ish and smelt punchy, but turned out to complement the flavours of the dish really well. Noticeably, it didn’t add too much saltiness to the dish. - Wanton: nothing to shout about. - Soup: was essentially tonkotsu ramen soup, though milder. I feel ashamed asking for a refill. Portions were fair, though I do wish that they were just a little more generous with the noodles. Additional noodles are available for $1. Plus point: this stall accepts paywave, contributing to your Team Cashback vs Team Miles debate.

I ordered the $7. Noodle texture: very good despite I dabao and reached home 30mins later and still springy. Taste: decent. Acceptable. Char siew: not the best I tasted. Prefer the blacky caramelized type. This one is like braised char siew. Very soft. There are a few better alternatives for the price and the amount of char siew given are few thin slices. Final: not worth the price, but worth the try. Can order the smaller bowl $5 to try it out.

I ordered the signature Char Siew Wonton Noodles. The noodles were al dente with springy bite. The char siew was caramelized on the outside giving a slight crunch that contrasted with the tender, juicy layers of fat and meat. I saved the wontons for last and they were still crispy. The soup was rich, comforting and packed with pork bone flavor.

Found this stall no queue during peak lunch hour… ordered their truffle wanton noodle (take away) @ $9.30. Not cheap but wow… the taste of the noodle was really good… wanton quite normal but the noodle and the meat taste were real good. The noodle has a strong truffle taste and I like their noodle texture… very comforting. Will try their normal wanton mee in my next visit.
