Wanton Mee is something I can have on a daily basis without getting sick of, and Vietnamese cuisine is something I love — not sure how authentic or traditional this stall is (or if Traditional Vietnamese Wonton Noodles do exist in real life), but definitely got intrigued by what they have to offer when I came across a post on Instagram so decided to check them out.

This felt really really similar to the Malaysian variant — black sauce? Checked. Pork lard? Checked; it even comes with beansprouts too. Said yes to the chili; despite not looking particularly lethal with the base mainly still being black sauce, the chili isn't one that goes straight up to the head — it lingers around the lips, on the throat, but never flaming in the stomach while savoury from the black sauce. Noodles were springy, while the char siew felt rather generic though more on the porky side of things without a stench. The fried wantons were crisp, though the soup wantons are incredibly filled with more meat and packs a crunch. Overall, quite a decent eat — that is if one disregards authenticity/the dish's actual existence; things that I just can't vouch for since I had never been to Vietnam or heard of about until today.
