I had been observing Chiefeater Hedges Liang enjoying a Mala version of Wantan Mee and wondered how it would taste. When I saw it that day at Yuan Feng Hainam Kopitiam, I decided to give it a try to determine for myself.

Don't let the colour of the noodles fool you. The Mala Wantan Mee (RM9) offered a tantalizing blend of flavours and spice that left a warm, lingering burn in the stomach—an experience that fans of spicy cuisine often savour. The bold use of Mala seasoning added a layer of complexity to the dish, contributing to its overall appeal.

One minor adjustment that could enhance the experience was the texture of the noodles. While enjoyable, they could have been firmer for a more satisfying bite. It's worth noting that should I return, I would consider asking the cook to prepare them for a shorter duration to achieve the desired level of firmness.

The wantan, though flavourful, was perhaps a tad small. Larger portions or more generously filled wantan could have elevated the dish even further. The char siew falls on the lean side. If that's how you like your char siew then you should like this. I have a preference for a fatter cut which made this less appealing for me.
