Hong Lim Food Centre is home to lots of delicious eats, including lava peanut butter MJK from Granny’s Pancake and crispy baked prata by Midas. If you’re a regular at the hawker centre, you’d also be familiar with Ji Ji Wanton Noodle Specialist, a famous wonton mee stall that draws a long line even before lunchtime.

The Michelin-recommended stall, now run by third-generation hawkers, dates back to 1965. They’re most known for the Ji Ji Signature Char Siew Wanton Noodle, where springy noodles are tossed in a secret house-made sauce and aromatic chilli mix on the side, embellished with crispy wonton, char siew, and mushrooms. Fragrant pork lard and shallots are added for a finishing touch.

Pricing is straightforward, too; it’s the same regardless of which dish you get. Choose from the $4.50, $5.50, $6.50, and $8.50 portions, depending on how hungry you are.

Another popular item is the Curry Chicken Cutlet Noodle, starring a generous portion of fried chicken on top of curry chicken noodles.

There are some sides and snacks available as well, in case you’re not full enough. Snack on some Deep Fried Wantons ($4 for eight pieces) or go light with a bowl of Dumpling Soup ($4).

If you’re visiting during peak meal times, do note that there’s usually a waiting time of around an hour or so.
