Tried Fei Fei Wanton Noodle at Joo Chiat after hearing about its long-standing reputation, but unfortunately our experience didn’t quite live up to expectations.
We ordered a large wanton noodle and a bowl of 馄饨汤 (wanton soup). The wanton soup itself was decent — the dumplings were generously sized and adequately filled, and the soup was light and drinkable, though fairly standard and not particularly memorable.
The main disappointment was the wanton noodles. The noodles lacked spring and fragrance, and the seasoning felt flat and one-dimensional. There was little depth in the sauce, which made the dish taste rather bland despite being a “large” portion. The char siew and accompanying ingredients didn’t elevate the dish either, leaving the overall bowl underwhelming compared to other wanton noodle stalls in Singapore.
Given Fei Fei’s reputation and the competitive food scene in Joo Chiat, this was a letdown. It wasn’t inedible, but it didn’t justify the hype or make us want to return specifically for the noodles.
That said, tastes are subjective, and others may still enjoy it for nostalgia or familiarity. For us, however, it fell short, especially when better wanton noodles can be found nearby.
