You know you're spoilt for choice when you have two stalls, both selling wondrously delicious wanton mee and with the queues to prove it, in the same hawker centre. At just $4 for this large bowl of wanton mee, it's real good eatin' at real good prices.

The fried and soup wantons alike were both savory and had a satisfactory crunch from the water chestnut mixed into the meat filling, with the skin on the boiled ones being soft and silky while the fried ones crunched away in my mouth satisfactorily. Those noodles are especially al dente (or QQ, in this case), and separated cleanly with minimal fuss with each bite to save you the indignity of wrestling with your noodles like a savage. And when they got covered in the sauce mix? Absolutely beautiful, I'm telling ya.

However, there is one element that steals the show from everything else: that's right, the char siew. Sensually smoky, superbly savory and undeniably umami, these slices of pork heaven were lean at its core, but had that all important, well cooked smoky fat on the outside. If gorging myself on Bee Kee's char siew is wrong, then I don't wanna be right.

With all these excellent elements combined into a bowl, you just know it's going to take you right to Flavortown. At the price of a relatively long MRT trip.
