Chinese casual restaurant Wo Wo Dian 窝窝店 joined the vibrant dining scene in the basement of Raffles City earlier this year. Now, they are introducing 16 seasonal dishes to celebrate the Autumn season.
With a 130-year culinary legacy from Mianyang, Sichuan, the restaurant is renowned for its steamed buns and rice noodles, alongside a variety of mini hot pots, snacks, and desserts, offering a well-rounded dining experience.
The complimentary hot tea and condiments from the self-service counter were a nice touch, though we wished the water had been hotter for optimal tea steeping.
Double Blessing Yuan Yang Century Eggs 3.8/5
We were quickly served with the Double Blessing Yuan Yang Century Eggs ($9.90) to start. It featured chilled creamy century eggs in two ways, in chilli oil and a pepper-based oil.
Fresh Chilli Chicken Bun 4.5/5
You should definitely try their famous steamed buns when you are here. We tried the Fresh Chilli Chicken Bun ($6.90), a newly introduced flavour. All buns at Wo Wo Dian are made with its signature recipe of using traditional sourdough, resulting in a bun texture that is fluffy and soft yet carries a bit of a chew. This flavourful chicken filling is laced with addictive ground chilli.
Chinese Red Sour Soup Seafood Pot 3.5/5
Another new dish on the menu is the Chinese Red Sour Soup Seafood Pot ($29.90), boasting a tangy and spicy broth filled with prawns, squid, and clams. This is best shared and paired with rice, as it can get quite salty.
Signature Golden Crispy Wantons 4/5
We first had the crunchy Signature Golden Crispy Wantons ($9.90) with a savoury meat centre for sides.
Signature Golden Crispy Chicken Mid Wings 4/5
We also had the Signature Golden Crispy Chicken Mid Wings ($7.90), which were marinated thoroughly and remained juicy inside despite its golden crisp. Both sides were served with dried chilli powder for that extra kick.
