Hong Kong Style Wanton Mee <=> Made in Singapore

Sometimes its in the smallest, most hidden places where you find good food. This is true of the wanton mee at Lye Seng Coffee Shop situated around Bukit Merah area. It's a tiny coffee shop which only sells wanton mee, ramen and economic rice. What I recommend is the wanton mee, which is different from what you usually get. Here there's no veg and no char siew. Only wanton and mee. It reminds me of the wanton mee I had in Hong Kong. The chilli is similar to Japanese la-yu, only hotter. This chilli is exceptionally spicy and tear-inducing. I love it. However, for those of you who can't really take spicy food, don't be too ambitious. The chilli seeds will send you crying. The noodles are nothing to rave about. They are my least fav part - I feel that they can do with more bounce. The wanton, on the other hand, is what's worth trying. Each wanton wraps a whole prawn and minced pork. The filling is generous and very satisfying. A longer time spent marinating the meat would probably make it more flavorful, but its definitely worth a try no matter what.
