Eng's Wantan Mee Re-Opens @ Dunman

[Lu Bu]

Parklane Delihouse one too sweet; not nice.

Kok Kee one better, but always long queue. Try the 1.90 & Joo Chiat one in Whampoa market, not bad.

wow! still got 1.90 price today.

if not those cheapskate willing to wait so long just for a plate of wantan mee ?

Hahaha seems that way for most stalls always the noodle portion very small.

For me Good wanton mee
1) the noodles must be good firm and wheaty
2) the sauce must be there (actually nothing much usually just oyster sauce and onion oil, garlic oil or pork lard)
3) the chilli must be good (strong sambal savoury with a hint of sweet taste)
4) the char siew must be a nice roasted red with a BBQ flavour
5) the soup must have good flavour
6) the wanton must have decent amount of meat and the skin must not be the tissue type.
7) Pork Lard bits are always a winner!

wow..you are so demanding ... . how much you willing to pay for a plate of wanton mee ?

Kok Kee one better, but always long queue.

Which part of upper east coast rd?...I know the char kway teow old man & his wife & then to his son...grandchildren...does not look like the people from Armenian St.

The 'ngoh hiang' old man, whose food was mainly hand made is too old to do business, last ate there, was his niece, who told me, old man's children does't want to continue the business..

After the niece...the stall you see in picture is just taking the name...like the rest!!

it's at 15, Upper East Coast Road (facing Jalan Tua Kong).

Hahaha actually got too carried away. That was the ultimate list

For me my main focus is always on the noodles so if the noodles pass, the rest not so important.

The answer to the last part. $3.50 - $4.00 (but must have extra noodles!) :p

1) pork lard & oyster sauce (The best kind in my humble opinion)
2) ketchup & onion oil
3) oyster sauce (Hong Kong Noodle)
4) onion oil and oyster sauce
5) chicken gravy/thick stock

Then we got the chillie:
1) western style chilli sauce
2) sweet chilli paste
3) ambal chilli paste (savoury)
4) hot chilli paste

The Char Siew:
1) Hong Kong style honey roasted
2) Deep red BBQ
3) Deep red but not much BBQ
4) Orange red exterior

The Wanton:
1) Tissue skin
2) Thick skin
3) Deep fried
4) Big filling

The soup base
1) Ikan Bilis and yellow bean stock (range from strong to light)
2) Chicken soup (usually lightly flavoured)
