This is now my favourite wanton mee stall in JB. I do my JB runs every alternate Saturdays, and usually only day trips, so I never had the chance to eat this. It opens only after 9pm, and closes next morning 5am.
🔸
I liked the wanton mee at City Square Mall, Ho Seng Kee, for the unique texture of the noodles - thin, light, eggy, and slightly overdone. HSK's version was however lacking in flavour from the sauces, and one can argue that it's to allow the natural flavour of the noodles to shine.
🔸
But HW wanton mee has the best of both worlds. It has texture very similar to that of HSK (although softer), but it has a robust sweet savoury black sauce undergirded by the fragrance of lard oil. Best.

This makes me want to stay over in JB next time, just to eat this again. And it's just a few stores away from Bangkok Spa, so makes for a good after-spa supper :)
