I first saw Wanton Mee on a Singapore Airlines flight, and what a treat and feast for the senses. We get a culinary tour of Singapore traditional cuisine and the challenges it faces in the midst of modern life through the eyes of a cynical food critic. We also get a glimpse into the critic's relationship with his father, culminating in an incredibly moving closing scene that I never expected in a million years.
