From MasterChef Singapore finalist Aaron Wong, who owns a chain of mee hoon kway stalls, comes his new venture, a wanton mee stall. Despite being tucked in a canteen hidden in an industrial compound, the queue was interminable.

The 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝘆 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝗲 ($5.50) featured springy noodles, three plump wantons, a large stalk of kailan and a few slices of char siew that were beautifully charred and fatty. Everything was on point, though I wished the sauce was more flavourful.

The 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗽 ($5.50) curiously did not have any char siew, though it did have more wantons. What’s praiseworthy is that the wantons are filled with meat; no minuscule, thumbnail-sized wantons commonly seen at other stalls here.

The individual components couldn’t be faulted — even the tiny orbs of pork lard were crisp and not overly greasy — and my main gripe was that I still felt hungry after devouring one bowl, but Legend Wanton Mee sneaks into my top 10.
