Authentic Sarawak Kolo Mee with extremely beneficiant parts at wallet-friendly costs at Bendemeer One Ton Mee

As a daily patron of Bendemeer Market and Food Centre, I’ve all the time walked previous One Ton Mee. One day, I made a decision to provide it a attempt as one in every of my lunch choices and I’ve been hooked ever since.

Ever since then, it has been tough attempting to achieve a bowl, particularly with my late meals. I’m often somebody who eats previous lunch hour so every time I drop by to have my common bowls of kolo mee, it all the time sells out! Furthermore, with their early closing hours, it looks as if I by no means have destiny with them.

This time, I purposely got here down early within the morning. I’ve been ready to attain one in every of these scrumptious bowls ever since I attempted it, however I by no means appear to have luck on my aspect. While the shop identify suggests their signature to be wanton mee, I set my eyes on the Sarawak Traditional Kolo Mee. Something totally different this time!

They have a streamlined menu of what they provide, and solely specialises in 2 totally different variables: Wanton noodles and Sarawak Kolo Mee. You may get a bowl of wanton soup to share together with your colleagues or mates.

Immediately after I made my order, (I consider) the mom and son duo rapidly started working. Everything is freshly churned out and also you get your bowl actually rapidly with this group regardless of the group. Thankfully, I got here earlier than terrible enormous lunch crowd did.

What I attempted at One Ton Mee

I set eyes on what I ordered— the S$5 portion of Sarawak Kolo Mee. Their portion is unquestionably greater than sufficient to fill you however when you have an even bigger urge for food, you possibly can go for the Large bowl for an additional S$1.

Each order comes with a bowl of wanton soup like each different wanton mee stall. However, what differentiates their bowls would in all probability be how visually interesting it’s.

Zooming in, I wanted to verify on what number of wantons they gave. I often do that to find out if the stall is nice or not as a result of extra is extra! One Ton Mee gave 2 enormous wantons within the soup— that’s not too unhealthy!

In phrases of flavour, the broth was beautiful, candy and enriching. The bouillon-like soup was as a fantastic ingredient to the noodles as nicely— particularly for individuals who favor their noodles moist.

Take a take a look at how a lot char siew they gave me. I used to be fairly amazed by this! I didn’t bear in mind their beneficiant portion the opposite time I got here by, however that’s in all probability trigger I didn’t pile it up! Now that I’ve really plated it, the char siew in all probability quantities to about 2 giant spoonfuls.

Why I like kolo mee is due to the addition of minced meat. Albeit the elements are very a lot just like a plate of wanton mee, I actually just like the addition of rou cuo in my noodles particularly when it will get bland. It provides one other layer of texture to my meals for a extra substantial chunk.

However, if I’m being trustworthy, I don’t often go for kolo mee as my go-to order at noodle stalls as a result of I concern the shortage of authenticity. One Ton Mee runs near the Malaysian customary although.

The noodles have been my favorite half. Tossed in shallot oil and pork lard, the eggy style was no the place to be discovered. I additionally discovered that they handcraft their noodles so I’ll give a brownie level! For S$5, they have been tremendous beneficiant with their noodle portion. How I tackled their parts was so as to add a splash of soup into my noodles. Inevitably, the noodles do get sticky after I took all my footage, however that is simply salvageable with their wonderful soup.

When I opted for chilli in my order, I used to be not anticipating the fervent impact it introduced on me. I’m an individual who loves chilli, however this was extremely spicy… I actually had tissues in my fingers to cease my nostrils from flowing. Of course, the saving grace was how addictive the spice component was when accompanied with the remainder of the dish.

By now, I’m positive you’re conscious of how a lot I like texture in my meals. Try breaking apart the fried wanton in your kolo mee for a further crunch issue! It’s precisely like how the chips-and-rice diplomacy goes, by creating an ideal fusion of soppy fluffiness from the noodles and crunchiness from the (wanton) chips!

Final ideas

Easily sufficient, I polished off the entire bowl in a whiff. These could be my two phrases to summarise my entire expertise: easy and scrumptious.

Shortly after, I seen the snaking queues that began to type because the immense crowd began coming in. Thankfully, I already attained my bowl. One Ton Mee, please serve extra parts in a day. I’ve been disadvantaged!
