Old Pontian Cafe

I was hanging around CCK Lot 1 the other day after tuition and decided to have dinner out since I would be starving by the time I arrived home. That's when I came across a new stall in the Lot 1 shopping mall that served Pontian style wanton noodles.

Now this is not the first time I've come across the so-called Pontian wanton noodles and the one across the road from my house is so-so, at best in taste. The noodles aren't bad but the wantons are little more than a token smear of filling (more like a dab) and a whole lot of empty wanton skin.

This Pontian Cafe outlet (I saw one at Bt. Panjang as well) served portions of noodles in small ($3.30) and large ($3.80). I ordered the large with chilli and was pleasantly surprised by the noodles and the wantons both. A hefty amount of noodles were given with a few slices of char siew and a couple of fried wantons. This came with a bowl of soup (too much msg in this) with some boiled wantons as well. The noodles had a wonderful chewy texture, were cooked al dente (as the Italians love to say) and although it was a large bowl of noodles, I finished it all! The wantons had just enough filling, not over or under-filled.There could have been more char siew and I wouldn't have minded a little more wantons, but overall, the noodles were good and I only paid $3.50(think the other price is for take away).

The cafe also serves other types of noodles, but its only my first visit. Maybe next time I will try the other dishes and get back to you on those. >_< (And no, they are not paying me to advertise for them. LOL.)

P.S: In my hurry to eat up the noodles, I didn't take a pic. Will do so next time I go there. And yes, there will be a next time, I really like the noodles =D.

My New Phone

Yea!!! I finally got my new handphone =D!!! Its a metal rose W995 Sony Ericcson phone with an 8.1 MP cam and walkman features. I was actually planning on getting the Samsung Pixon with the 8 MP cam, but its touch screen and besides, the W995 didn't cost me a single CENT! BEAMS BEAMS BEAMS!!

Can't wait to take those CNY pics with it heheheh.
