It’s been a while since we made some input for the Jointz section and we thought we’ld do it justice by introducing a legend to the wider Singaporean audience. Situated in one of the last remaining ol’skool spots in Katong is a ‘legacy’ that all on this island should experience before it disappears forever. Ah Eng has been at Dunman Food Centre for decades but how we got to know of him was through our Katong dwelling parents who used to love his father’s wan ton mee back in the peddling 50’s and carried on with tradition by supporting the son when he settled at Dunman Food Centre back in the 70’s (I think).

We’re not talking about the new skool burnt char siew shit that you get all over Singapore these days, Eng’s is the authentic raw ol’skool flavour, where the mee is silky, the char siew is pink, the wan ton is soft and the chilli is ALIVE!! If you’re in need for a proper wan ton mee fix, make way to Dunman Food Centre for the real deal. The rojak and popiah there is also hardcore so get ready for Freddy. For both Eng’s wan ton mee and the rojak, be prepared to wait for at least half an hour. On weekends, the wait can reach an hour sometimes, but once the wan ton mee and chilli enter your mouth, you will mos def feel that the wait was well worth it.

This is truly The Last Of The Mohicans so make sure you check it out!
