She has a pretty, pinky sushi named after her, and now a wanton mee that she fancies might just be named after her on the lips of foodies especially those living in MacPherson.

Introduced as a candidate for the general election just over a month ago, Nicole Seah of National Solidarity Party enjoyed so much popularity that a sushi bar quickly dedicated a sushi roll to her.

I'm sure it was to capitalise on her meteoric rise to popularity as the youngest female Opposition candidate.

But now we can't blame Zhen Mian Shi noodle stall at Circuit Road Food Centre if it decides to name their $2.50 wanton mee after her.

After all, she had raved about it in her blog during the hustings, calling it "awesome".

The stall is apparently quite popular, selling up to 200 bowls of noodles each day.

So how good is this wanton mee?

Here's our taste test:

Noodles: Very thin, slight eggy hint, a bit floury and a light taste of lye water. Good that the noodles were thin but it would taste better if they're eggy without those flour and lye tastes. They were al dente too, so I could hear the crunch when eating. Small portion of noodles, but good enough for a light meal

Char Siew: Generous, thick slices. Fairly tasty but didn't look totally roasted. Little charred taste around the sides. Muscled meat too tough for easy chewing.

Wanton dumplings: Thick wanton skins encased fairly decent minced pork, and the nice surprise, chopped waterchestnuts. Wantons could be flavoured with dried plaice or dried octopus for better flavour.

Sauce: One of the tastiest wanton mee sauces in town.It's savoury with soy sauce, some oyster sauce, sesame oil, lard and sambal belachan. The latter is not a traditional ingredient in wanton mee but it has become popular in noodle dishes. The sambal belachan was salty rather than sweet, but it didn't overwhelm the overall taste with its prawny flavour. More lard oil, lard crisps and sesame oil would enhance the taste further.

Soup: Tasty enough with anchovy flavour. Soup was cloudy instead of clear.

Overall, this wanton mee tasted better than the so-so ones in Old Airport Road and Joo Chiat Road area, but not the better ones.

Joo Chiat's popular Eng's Wantan Mee has a stall nearby in Block 79A of the food centre. Some of us prefer this stall.(Read review below).

Its fiery chilli sauce is legendary. Can Nicole take it?

Rating: 6.9/10

I like the one in Ang Mo Kio Central, Hawker Centre. It is just a few stall away from the famous Yong Tau Hu Stall.
