Wanton Mee Soup vs Wanton Mee Dry

http://www.nutrition.com.sg/do/hnoodle.asp

Here's a simple trick to choosing the right food. The trick is "always choose soupy stuffs over the dry version."

As you can see from the table above, both are wanton mees, just that one is dry and the other soup. The Dry contains 8 more grams of fats compare to the soup one!!! Even though the serving weight for the soup wanton mee is higher (410g), probably due to the weight of soup.

Next time when you order a bowl or Dry Wanton Mee, observe what goes into the bowl. Lard! Sesame Oil. Onion Oil. Oyster Sauce! all the different lipids into the bowl and eventually into YOU!! Taste-wise, how big a difference can it get? Even if the dry one taste better...does it worth that extra 8g of fats?!! It could be more if the uncle decides to use more lard.

Worse still... Singaporeans actually eat Wanton Mee for Breakfast... =\ Wake up! Its morning breakfast!
