Humans are strange as we do crave for certain food sometimes; recently, the craving I had was for wanton mee and in my recent trip to Johor Bahru in Malaysia, I was on the lookout for wanton mee stalls that were near us!
Ho Meng Kee Wan Tan Mee was flagged out as it was within walking distance from Fives Hotel and we still had some time to go before the official check-in.
One thing of concern although I know we shouldn't discriminate based on age; the two operators were too young and I am worried that the wanton mee might not compare to one coming from the hands of a seasoned chef that experienced years of cooking noodles.
I am actually alright with the portion even though it was indeed pricey, However, the reduced serving means more stomach space for other food!
Noodles were chewy and despite being drenched with lard oil; it wasn't as tasty with the spiciness overshadowing the good taste of noodles. Saving grace was of course the crispy pork lards, and the slices of lean char siew, which were surprisingly flavorful.
Another thing to highlight was the wanton; there were four pieces in the soup and the meat that wrapped up was nice, and decently sized!
