Pontian Wanton Mee is probably one of those wanton mee places that have been synonymous with crazy lunchtime crowds packed with office workers and hungry students. I've never really gotten round to trying their noodles despite hearing so much about it -today was an exception because Graffiti Cafe is really empty pre-lunch, at around 11.They serve not only wanton mee, but also other snacks + coffee and tea. For $3.80/$4.30 you can expect a hearty bowl of wanton noodles w a bowl of soup.This $3.80
Pontian Wanton Mee is probably one of those wanton mee places that have been synonymous with crazy lunchtime crowds packed with office workers and hungry students. I've never really gotten round to trying their noodles despite hearing so much about it -today was an exception because Graffiti Cafe is really empty pre-lunch, at around 11.They serve not only wanton mee, but also other snacks + coffee and tea.

This $3.80 bowl came with 2 fried and 2 steamed wantons, sliced charsiew and chye sim. The noodles were a pleasant surprise because they had a nice spring to it, al dente, the way it should be! The first time I had a mouthful of the pontian wanton me it was so unbearably salty that i never thought I would ever try it again. This one however, was just right. The chilli wasn't overly spicy such that it ruined the taste of everything else.While the wantons were really small, they were nevertheless tasty. The fried ones weren't bitter and had a particular fragrance to it that was oddly appetising despite it being deep fried. The steamed ones however, had a really thin skin and were on the verge of disintegrating. Texture aside, the taste was there.
Pontian Wanton Mee is a quickfix for your wtm cravings in the comfort of a cafe style setting. It gets pretty crowded though so I wouldn't recommend you hang around after polishing off your bowl of noodles!
