Wing Kee Famous Ipoh Hor Fun @ Changi Village Food Court
Having made my one and only trip to Changi Village, I got the chance to eat the famous Ipoh Hor Fun stall at the Changi Village Food Court. Why I say it was famous? The people that was waiting in line in front of the Wing Kee (Since 1976) stall made me think of it like that.
As I walked into the food court, the one thing that caught my attention was this long line of people in front of the stall compared to the many other stalls in the premise. My friends asked me what I want to eat but even before they asked me, I already made up my mind wanting to give it a try, after all, that stall's window was plastered with food reviews from the likes of Makan Sutra and many others.
After getting our spots in the place, off I went and got myself in line and within 15minutes or so, it was my turn to order. It was plain simple, just say the number that's written next to the food photo and that's it, the gentleman standing in front of me will promptly say the name of the dish and ask for money. The amazing thing is, he say the name of the dish so softly yet the cook behind the window was able to hear him. Even I had a hard time hearing what he said especially in the noisy environment we were in.
Like season professionals, the cook produce the food I ordered in record time (I estimated that it took less than 3 min for him to get the thing done), even before I walked away, he was already preparing the order from the guy standing behind me. Must say that they truly is amazing since they have been there from 1976. The very year I was born!
I ordered their Ipoh Hor Fun, served with char siew and minced chicken meat came along with a hearty portion of the tastiest sauce I ever tried! It's their own secret recipe that sets them apart from the rest. On top of that, I also ordered a side dish of Chicken Chop, crispy and juicy, it goes well both as part of the chicken chop hor fun or as a side dish you can take your time to savour along with a main dish. Definitely will go there again if I ever venture to that part of the island again.
