Quan Ji (#01-56/57)

Zi char hawker stalls, aka ready-to-cook joints, are easy choices in any hawker centre. Cantonese joint Quan Ji is no different, since they’ve got a hearty range of family faves from har cheong gai (prawn paste chicken, from $13) to sambal clams (from $15). But it’s the wong po lou meen (yellow cloth noodles, from $20 to share) that everyone flocks over for, fried noodles heavy with wok hei under a fluffy blanket of fried prawn omelette. Interestingly, this is an off-the-menu dish but it’s one of the more popular orders. They do open for dinner as well, so no need to rush to join frantic lunch queues.
