Looking at the surrounding countries and regions, the entire society is in chaos due to the government's incompetence after an epidemic.

Long Queue 排长龙

Singapore - Block 632, Yishun Street 61 (Chef Kin HK Wanton Noodle)

新加坡 — 大牌632,义顺61街(坚哥港式云吞面)

Singaporeans love to queue.

Queue to buy McDonald's Hello Kitty plush toys.

排队买麦当劳的吉蒂猫毛绒玩具。

Queue to buy Michelin chicken rice.

Recently in the HDB area, people queue for an hour for wonton noodles.

最近在组屋区里,人们为了云吞面而排上一小时的队。


The reason is that the man at the helm of this stall is a celebrity chef who once served in a famous catering group.

事因这档口的掌舵人是名厨,曾在某知名餐饮集团任职。


It is said to sell 700 bowls a day.

I do not like queuing up to buy food, just so happened to pass by and queued to try something new. 

本身不爱排队买吃的,恰巧经过就顺道排队尝鲜。


Packed wanton noodles, dumpling noodles and braised beef brisket noodles.

打包了云吞面、水饺面、牛腩面。


Maybe my eating habits are relatively light, so the soup base and noodles are a bit salty.

If you ask me, is it worth the hour queue?

I
 can only say it depends.
