Weekends are a time for feasting after a long week of eating simple or takeaway lunches at your workstation. If you’ve been racking your brains over where to bring your parents or partner for breakfast on weekends in the east. Do visit Tampines round market & food centre, they do have lots of varieties of local food, today I'm going to recommend just 1 stall which I think has its own unique selling point.
My first impression of Kolo Mee - just another gimmick to come out a different version of wanton mee, but this stall proved me wrong in sense of taste, texture and smell. As a Singaporean, if you see a long queue, just queue!
Waited close to ten minutes before it was my turn, ordered their Signature Sarawak Kuching Kolo Mee at $5. (kolo mee price ranged between $4 to $7).
In addition to their signature Sarawak Kolo Mee, they also serve wanton noodle, spare ribs noodle, chicken feet noodle, Ipoh hor fun, have a look at what they offered.
The first bite, the noodle was springy, the texture is very similar to instant noodle, but the difference is they were accompanied by tendering char siew, crispy fried dumpling, "meat full" boiled dumpling and the braised, flavorful pork meat. The seasoning goes well with the noodles, but I felt that the braised sauce overpowered the taste of noodles.
Kolo Mee tastes differently from wanton mee or yellow noodle that used in the usual prawn mee. It is whiter in colour due to the noodle are made of egg white. Do take a moment to smell the noodles, it smells differently as they claimed it is free of alkaline.
Worth a journey to Tampines just to have this? Some people think so. The queues are very long throughout the day. But for me, I may eat again if I am nearby, but certainly not worth a trip almost half way across the Singapore for a bowl, but it is value for money considering a number of ingredients given.
