I saw the shop from afar and wanted to try immediately. But I was taken aback the moment I saw an endorsement from a food blogger. I tend to disagree with most food bloggers, but I just had to trust my own instinct based on first impressions.
The menu is interesting. Typically, a chicken wing is a 3-piece thing, but here, a wing is the mid-joint and tail only, and a drumlet is labeled differently. So if you’re paying $3.50 for Set C, you get rice and one whole wing, and that’s it. They call it '1 wing, 1 drumlet, and rice.' That’s like buying a tap with the handle and the faucet spelled out in your face.
For $6.60, you get 2 wings, 1 egg, and rice.
For $7, you get a chicken fillet, egg, and rice.
I went for the $7 set (B), which I think is the most value for money.
The chicken is okay; the har cheong not too overpowering, and it’s crispy. So no complaints there. The rice is almost tasteless. I had to supplement it with the chili sauce, which I think is the lifesaver for the day. So, if you’re a non-spicy eater, I won’t recommend this shop. Maybe just buy the chicken wings, but check if they’re selling you the entire wing or just the mid-joint or drumlet.

Prawn paste fried chicken looked popular here, so I decided to give it a try. There was no more cutlet available as I arrived a bit late, at 8 PM. I tried the fried chicken wing rice. The wings were pretty well fried, and I got to eat freshly fried, crispy chicken. While not the best, it was good enough hawker food. The rice had some fragrance but wasn't soft enough. My only concern is that I found a nose-hair-like 'thingy' that seemed fried and hardened. I hope I'm wrong. Giving it the benefit of the doubt, I discounted this 'thingy' in my rating.

This stall is located in a hawker centre on the 2nd floor of Anchorvale Village shopping centre; the first floor houses restaurants.
The hawker centre has over 30 stalls and can fit 600 pax. Ventilation is good, thanks to high ceilings, an open layout, and large High Volume Low Speed (HVLS) ceiling fans.
Pricey for the portion. The prawn taste is not overly strong. Rice is fragrant.
Prawn Paste Chicken Wing (wing + drumlette): $2.20
Prawn Paste Wing Rice with Egg: $6
Prawn Paste Chicken Cutlet Rice with Egg: $7.70
Parking: A Multi-Storey Car Park (MSCP) is available right inside Anchorvale Village.
A Kids' playground is located on Level 4 and can be reached via stairs from Level 3.

I’m glad I don’t need to travel to Yishun anymore to get this. The stall is famous for their prawn paste chicken. I ordered the fried chicken fillet that came with fragrant rice topped with a fried egg. The chicken was slightly on the dry side, but thankfully, the prawn paste was not overpowering. The rice could use some improvement though. Overall, I think it’s a decent dish. There are definitely options, whether you want to order some small bites for sharing or a main dish for yourself.

Wah, this hawker centre is becoming my preferred makan place among the few that have recently sprouted up in the vicinity. Right next to one of my favorite fish soup stalls is Ah Tan Wings 🤩🤩🤩, which I first discovered through a group buy.

No description needed. Those who like prawn paste chicken should hop over and give it a try.
✨ Prawn Paste Wings
How to know if my parents like it? I bought two extra wings to share, but they quietly polished it all off, despite cutting down on fried food 😆😆😆. Nothing left for me 😅😅😅.

Ah Tan Chicken Wings beats Eng Kee hands down for me in this hawker centre. They are particularly known for their Har Cheong Gai (prawn paste chicken). If you are still on the lookout for an exceptional Har Cheong Gai within Singapore, this is a must-try. They also have a couple of other outlets across the island.
The chicken is very crispy, super fresh, and goes superbly well with the special chili sauce on the side. You can see in the background that they are prepared and fried on the spot, although marination is completed for at least two days in advance to ensure the flavors are fully absorbed and consistent. Overall, it's not too greasy.
I ordered the Prawn Paste Wings ($2.20) a la carte, which includes one wing and one drumlet. However, most customers opt for the Wing Wing Set ($6), which comes with chicken, rice, and egg. The food is super delicious, making this one of the best stalls here for sure. It's also super affordable, and the stall owners are very friendly, always greeting everyone with a nice smile. While the queue may be long (which proves its quality!), it moves very efficiently thanks to the straightforward order menu and system in place.

Generally a good meal.
Had the HCK cutlet rice (ATAS).
The chicken thigh was a big piece, well-marinated and fried. The prawn paste was okay, but not as fragrant. The rice was bland. The sauce complemented well. Overall, not bad.

This is my third time eating Ah Tan Chicken wings. It is quite good. It goes very well with coke or whisky for adults 😉👍. The prawn paste taste is just right. It's not too strong. I will eat again.

The chicken chop didn't really have the prawn paste taste.
Set B was rather pricey for just a piece of thigh meat.
Fortunately, the chicken was served hot and crispy, and the chilli sauce was rather good. I can eat the flavoured rice with the chilli without the chicken.

Here's the edited review:
"The chicken thigh set I had wasn't overly oily. With some deep-fried meats, oil can drip once you bite into them, but this was not the case here. The thigh was juicy, and the prawn paste wasn't too overwhelming. Sprinkling the lemon enhanced the taste of the meat. The flavored rice that came with the set tasted nice as well. Despite only one lady manning the stall during lunchtime, the queue moved reasonably fast.
I would recommend this stall."
