Kedai Kopi Xuu Yau / Mi Wantan Pin Yuan (品苑云吞面), used to be a small coffee shop located along Tan Hiok Nee Heritage Walk, had moved to Taman Sentosa and re-opened in October 2024. The noodle house specialised in wanton noodle, or meat dumpling noodle (云吞面), a popular Cantonese noodle dish in Chinese communities across Asia.
There are three sizes for the wanton noodle varying in portion of the egg noodle. Diners can choose to have either "white" (lard oil) or "black" (lard oil and soy sauce) sauce — there is "red" (char siew sauce) also but it is very limited and sold out super fast. Xuu Yau's self-made thin egg noodle will be used unless otherwise specified. Apart from wanton noodle, soup with handmade fishballs (in quantity of 6/8/10) are also available as add-on.
The (medium, white) wanton noodle is served with slices of barbecue pork and crispy fried pork lards on a heap of oil-tossed egg noodle and garnished with chopped spring onions. There are four pieces of meat dumplings in the accompanying bowl of soup.
The thin egg noodle is tender and springy with occasional boosts of flavours from the fried lards and lard oil. The mild-sweet barbecue pork slices are also tender, not dry and tasty. With first mouthful of the barbecue pork with the noodle, I already fell in love with it! The meat dumplings are mild savoury and able to taste the freshness of the minced pork fillings — the best I have tried so far.
The "black" wanton noodle with dark soy sauce flavour and crispy fried lards is also great without adding saltiness to the noodle. The small-size wanton noodle has lesser noodle, but the portion of barbecue pork slices and meat dumplings are the same.
Their handmade fishballs are big and bouncy with springy texture, no fishy taste and go very well with the sour-spicy dipping sauce. Oh, the sauce do pack a spicy punch in the aftertaste.
Xuu Yau's wanton noodles are delicious and really unforgettable. Try it once and it will be hard to find another wanton noodle that can beat it. I have stopped counting the number of times I have dined at the noodle house.
