I was just chatting with a friend about wantan mee. Just wondering if more people prefer the black sauce wantan mee or the ketchap version? :?


I grew up on the ketchap version and am an avid fan of ketchap wantan mee. The one at Kovan hub hawker centre run by 2 Cantonese brothers and a lady gets my thumbs up! Anyone share the same sentiments as me, prefers the ketchap wantan mee to the black sauce version?

[MMM]

Not sure what you meant by black sauce? Is it cantonese style??? I prefer the traditional style yes with ketchup, etc... versus the cantonese style.

Just tried a good stall at bugis junction. The stretch of coffee shop facing the public car park opposite illuma. At the last coffee shop nearer to Illuma, there is a good wanton mee stall. The serving is good too. At $3, think it comes with at least 5-8 wantons.

I am not sure if the Cantonese version is the black sauce version, but I go for the ketchap version anytime.

I believe the one at Bugis Junction that you mentioned is the ketchap version? Must go and try one day. :drool:

I think this black / ketchup sauce is a country/cultural thingy??


DH is Msian and loves his wanton mee with black sauce. Says that's what he grew up with. Me, good ole' Spore girl (Hurray Singapura... :rahrah: ) loves my wanton mee with ketchup sauce.

And speaking of wanton mee, we went to this wanton mee stall at Tembeling Road for lunch yesterday and there was this confusion with the hawker as to whether they have it in black, ketchup or plain. :stupid:

It doesn't help that DH and my Mandarin is so bad, and the hawker's assistant from PRC. So u can imagine the sight!! Hands gesticulating to make ourselves understood. Sigh...

Ah ha, that's it! I think you hit the nail on the head about the black sauce/ketchap being a country/cultural thing! This friend that I was chatting with is also a Msian, no wonder she's all for the black sauce version and me being the true blue Singaporean am all for the ketchap version! :lol:

:rotflmao: so in the end, which version you wanted and did you manage to get the version you wanted? Can't stand those PRC assistants at hawker stalls!

DH took Malay as 2nd lang when he was in school, I'm a true-blue Peranakan, brought up by my grandparents who spoke Malay, English and Hokkien - so our Mandarin quite hopeless. :oops:

In the end, like one chicken and duck talking :faint: , we managed to get our orders right. 1 wanton mian \"hei\", 2 wanton mian \"ketchup\" and 1 mee pok \"ketchup\". :lol:
