The Cantonese are masters in cooking flavourful dishes and one of their creations is the Wanton Mee, which comprise of springy egg noodles, fresh crunchy green kai lan, char siew, great sauces to bring out the flavours and yes, the ping pong size wantons!

Our hawkers here have refined it and some incorporate ngau lam (beef briskets) in place of char siew or blended it with onsen egg and Japanese Char Siew, to bring it to another level.

This are my 3 favourite versions of wanton mee.

“The Ngau Lam (Beef Briskets) is so very flavorful and tender, and with the heavenly gravy atop the springy egg noodles, you know a return trip must be penciled in. Their braised chicken noodles are also very good and important to come before 11am as they often sell out before 12.30pm.”

“So very glad that a new generation of well qualified chefs take the challenge to pursue their passion and serve great makan. Their fusion ramen is excellent as it combines Japanese style precision cooking and presentation with so very shiok wanton, braised pork, fried prawn, onsen egg atop springy egg noodles.”

Their egg noodle is done just right, the sauce tasty & not too over powering but it is their Char Siew that everyone comes for. Roasted over charcoal, the smoke seeps well into the well marinated pork, & is sold out by late morning even though the stall opens around 9.15am daily (except Sunday).”
