Wan Tan Mee House is one of the places that I have been patronizing for Wantan Mee. This shop has been serving wantan mee for 60 years and I have blogged about this shop since 5 years ago. The wantan mee style is Cantonese style which is served with starch gravy. The selling point is their deep-fried wantan that is crunchy outside and packed with filling inside. The flavourful starchy gravy makes this Wantan Mee outstanding too.
Overall, the taste of the wan tan mee was unique and the deep fried wan tan tasted crunchy and delicious. The price of the food here was considered reasonable too as the noodle portion and wontons were larger than usual . The drawback is the additional charge of clear soup which is usually complementary in other stalls. It is also not easy to find parking nearby as the road is a main road and parking is not allowed.
Potentially one of the most expensive Wan Ton Mees in Penang, Wan Ton Mee House's comes with a splash of own-developed Egg-gravy to be mixed and eaten with the noodles. On top of that, Wan Ton Mee House's rendition of Wan Ton Mee sees a serving of addictive Pork Lards, crispy Deep Fried Wan Ton/ Dumplings, dressed in a luscious gravy. The texture of the noodles was alright, but they could be more generous with the Chilies. Sambal will only be given upon request, which is a nuisance for chili-lovers like us. All in all, we thought the noodles were of decent-quality; definitely not something that we would want to go all out for it but neither do we against it.
Checking out Green House Prawn Mee Corner 青屋蝦麵 which has a storied history of over 30 years and the prestigious Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition. They are also awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand. Our order included the Hokkien prawn mee and their otah.
The video above is the brach of Burma Road. The taste of the soup is packed with prawn aroma while it is slight spicy with savory and sweet touch.
In the good old days, Wan Tan Mee was better known as 'Tok Tok Mee'. My mom told me during her teenage years, the Wan Tan Mee sellers used to knock on their stall when they pushed their carts along the back alley. ( actually ' tok tok ' sound is created by knocking 2 bamboo together ) - thanks Mr. Huat and Wong for the information. The sound created was 'Tok Tok'.
Wholly Cow's signature Gu Bak Koay Teow is exactly how one would expect a bowl of delicious classic Beef Noodles would taste like. The broth was amazing.... with a robust meat flavor. The accompanying Sprouts and Lettuce offered a juicy crunch to the noodles. But the real draw was the home-made Chili dip... with a strong fiery punch. Also, there was not much oil swimming in the broth so I guess that's a plus for me
