Sometime in mid-Dec 2024, a new noodle stall quietly took up residence in Chinatown Complex. The unassuming stall, named New Hope Noodles (新望云吞面), serves up wanton noodles, both soup and dry, and all the items on their menu cost just S$4.
It focuses on providing individuals with the essential skills required to operate a hawker stall. Participants will take part in a comprehensive training program which covers multiple aspects, such as food safety, culinary techniques and even business management.
At the end of the training, support is provided when the participants eventually launch their own hawker businesses. New Hope also says their initiative not only aims to promote self-sufficiency, but also to contribute to Singapore’s hawker culture.
New Hope Noodles makes their own char siew, wantons, and noodles as well. Said noodles are described as being very “QQ”, with a firm bite that holds onto sauce well. The wantons are also generous in both size and filling, with the pork being well-seasoned and devoid of unpleasant “porkiness”. The char siew is the “old-school” style that is sliced thinly and is quite lean, which some diners may not prefer.
