KL-Styled Wanton Mee @ Jurong Point Malaysia Boleh!

Malaysia Boleh! is a themed foodcourt located at the new wing of Jurong Point Shopping Mall selling renowned Malaysian cuisines like Klang Bak Kut Teh, Penang Laksa, Ipoh Nga Choi Gai (Ipoh Bean Sprouts Chicken), Petaling Street Claypot Chicken Rice, KL Wanton Mee, etc.

They have been in business since two years ago but I did not bother to try the food as I was put off by the horrendous crowd each time I was there.

Avoid peak hours if you can or at least bring a friend along so one could chope a table while the other queue for the food.

I decided to drop by an hour before the lunch crowd came and there's plenty of seats for me to choose from.

The interior is renovated to resemble the olden days when hawkers peddle their food in the streets with the stalls designed as push carts. If you have been to Malaysian Food Street at RWS, you would understand what I am talking about.

Before coming, I already knew that I wanted to try the KL-styled Wanton Mee so I made a beeline for the stall straightaway.

Since I was early, there were no other customers before me therefore I could place my order immediately.

I like how the noodles were served in this very old school porcelain plate. My house used to have them too but I wonder what happened to them now?

Such nostalgia!

KL Ding Ji Wanton Mee

However, I find the sweetness a little too overwhelming.

The char siew, unfortunately, were all lean meat with no fats which makes it quite... uninspiring. I prefer my char siew caramelized on the outside, with bits of fat. This is too dry.

I heard the people running this stall went all the way to KL just to learn how to make the KL Wanton Mee from a master.

If Ding Ji Wanton Mee is a true representation of KL Wanton Mee, then I must say I am not quite a fan of it. 

Perhaps it was just a bad day that the sauce went off standard and I got char siew that were not to my liking?
