Eng's wanton noodles for lunch

We drove 20 km to Tanjong Katong for our favourite wanton mee. The distance may not be long but it took 35 minutes to arrive there.
You see, Singapore, a small island of about 719 km2 is packed with 5.4 million people. It has 1,000,000 cars, trucks, lorries, buses, taxis and motorbikes (as at 2015) on the roads. There are also 2,300 traffic lights (2014 statistics). Almost everyday we are faced with traffic jams.
