We braved both rain and sun, reaching Pontian finally just to get ourselves a taste of this famous wanton noodles which is highly recommended by the media.
I'm not sure if it's common to order noodles based on the noodles portion instead of Small, Medium or big but I thought Mee Sin Kee had a menu rather unique by offering patrons 1, 1.5 or 2 bundles of noodles costing, 6.70, 8 or 10 respectively for dining in. For those who are taking away, the pricing is cheaper which we thought is the reverse of what is our practice back home for we were charged with additional disposables cost.
I had the smallest portion of Wanton Noodles drenched with Tomato sauce. The noodles were springy and went well with the sauce. Char Siew slices were thin and lean.

While it seems like the colour of the plate determines the portion of the noodles, the rest of the portions of the ingredients like Char Siew, Wanton and fishballs remains the same. This plate of noodles was accompanied by their chilli sauce. On a side note, we don't get to see such a combination of soup whereby fishballs are found with wantons in Singapore.

The soup was tasty and the wantons were delicious.
For the bigger appetite, one of us had ordered the big portion of noodles and it almost filled the plate with sauce kind of going to overflow out. This was ordered in the black sauce version.

The hawkers were undoubtingly friendly like most of the locals. For those who enjoy Otahs, you can grab some Otahs from the stall beside them while waiting for their noodles...

Ordered the large saucy version rm11 while my friend ordered the rm9.50 medium. Portion wise for noodles i would say they are generous.
Now into the taste, the black sauce was also in generous amount. My noodles that were piled were sufficiently sauced with the black sauce.
However, my disappoint came when the black sauce had a very muted taste. Not much flavour to it whatsoever, which was the biggest letdown. As such had to add more of the soy sauce and green chilli to pair with.
Wantons (were only given 2) were small, but tasted nice.
Overall wished that the noodles had a greater taste to them Not the best introduction to...

This is a typical pontian style wanton mee where it mixed with Kimball brand tomato sauce which probably hardly found at any other place.
Personally feel the source bit too much and overwrite the original noodles taste, should come back again to try the kosong (no source) type noodles. Wanton is good and fresh, however otak too much flour filling results in too chewy and flavour still far from original otak taste in muar.
Overall a good try for noodles with tomato sauces if you happened to visit this small...
