Poon Kee Traditional Roasted Duck Wanton Noodle

The Char Siew Roast Pork Noodles, priced at $5, consistently receives high praise for its 'phenomenal' char siew, often described as thick, melt-in-your-mouth, and having a good fat-to-meat ratio.

While the roast pork is generally considered decent, some find it less consistent in texture, occasionally tough or salty.

The wanton noodles themselves are a highlight, praised for being perfectly seasoned with dark soy and pork lard, and cooked just right without the alkaline taste.

One notable feature is the self-service soup, which varies daily (e.g., salted vegetable and duck soup) and is a welcome addition.

The chilli sauce also gets mentions for its balanced spicy and sour notes.

However, some experiences point to potential inconsistencies, with occasional tough meat cuts, especially during peak hours.

We'd recommend visiting in the morning, ideally before 9:45 AM, to avoid the long queues that can start around noon.

It's a destination for those who enjoy intensely flavoured, black sauce-style noodles and fatty char siew, even if it's in an 'ulu' (out-of-the-way) location.
