Great news for fans of Koung's Wanton Mee especially if you reside in the West.
.
The popular wanton mee from the East has set up an outlet here at JEM, right beside Jurong East MRT Station.
.
I was thrilled when I saw the charred bits on the thickly sliced char siew as this only meant the barbecued meat is roasted instead of dyed.
.
Despite being mostly lean meat, the texture is not dry at all. On the contrary, it is juicy and tender. I could even taste the sweet marinade on the exterior.
.
The wanton wrapper has to be the thickest I have tried to date. Not sure if the wrappers were specially made according to their requirements but I realized they are more resilient to breaking. Texture wise, it is firmer thus not as supple as the thinner ones.
.
I like the springy bite of the thicker-than-usual noodle which picks up the tossing sauce pretty well. I believe pork lard oil is part of the sweet and savory tossing mix that makes it taste so good. Although I requested for extra spicy, I did not feel the heat.
