Wanton mee ($4)!

Tuesday hawker lunch — wanton mee at $4. Singapore-style dry-tossed wanton noodles.

We ordered:

• Wanton mee — $4

Standard Singapore wanton mee format:

• Thin egg noodles (mee kia) al dente
• Tossed with signature dark sauce (soy + lard + sometimes ketchup)
• Sliced char siew (Cantonese roast pork)
• Pickled green chillies + sometimes fresh chilli
• Garnish: scallion + sometimes lard cubes
• Side bowl of wantons in clear soup

The defining elements:

• Dry-tossed format (different from HK soup-based)
• Pickled green chilli accompaniment
• Singapore-specific evolution from Cantonese tradition
• The proper “Singapore wanton mee” classification

At $4 standard hawker pricing tier.

Overall: 4.5 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Solid wanton mee. Would re-order.
