For anytime of the day, for any meal for the day. From breakfast to supper, you know you can always have a Wanton Mee, just as long as it tastes great! Not only does it taste great when you order it from a good hawker, it is also light on the stomach. So it is not as fattening as you might think it is. And for those can are still feeling hungry, you can always order it in bigger portions, just like how you would up-size a fast food meal.
Wanton Mee is a Cantonese noodle dish which is very well loved and received in Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore. Though in Hong Kong, it is usually served in soup, it is served mostly dry in Singapore. Wantons are essentially dumplings with mainly prawns with some pork (or not at all) filled inside. Aside to Wantons, this dish is cooked with noodles, leafy vegetables, and roast pork (Char Siu). Sometimes this dish may be cooked with Shui jiao instead of wanton, dumplings containing prawns, chicken or pork, and spring onions.
In Singapore, this dish is either served dry or in soup, though the dry version is usually the hot favorite. If served dry, the wantons will be served in a separate bowl of soup. Others served this dish with fried wantons that can be dipped into mayonnaise sauce. If you would like to try a delicious serving of this dish, be prepared to wait because there is usually a long line of people who know it is worth the wait.

This is a good version of this dish. I am changing two things to this recipe. Drop the salt (soy sauce and salted black beans gives it enough saltiness), and add more chicken broth to 1/2 cup. I had black bean paste and it worked just fine in place of the salted black beans
