♥Verdict: The Wonton Mee and Char Siew were spot on and memorably good. I wouldn’t say no to a revisit, IF I happen to be at this area as I have a few options (which are nearer to my place) at my disposal. For those who live nearby or want to try out this place, go ahead!

This is the Malaysian version of wan tan mee and you can’t find it in other countries even Singapore. The dried noodles are dark thanks to combination of different oil use, the sweet thick dark soy sauce and other sauces. The result is sweet and savoury flavour that will keep you coming for more.
The Char Siew was good. Depending on the kind of texture you like on your meat, you’d either like the char siew that came with the noodles or the one with the rice. Both dishes came with thick, chunky pieces of meat. However, the Wan Tan Mee char siew was dense, juicy and tender while the rice came with meat that was a lil hard and chewy. The sweet glaze coating on the outside was perfection but the inside, that meat was sure was chewy. I still did enjoy it but not as much as I would have if I received the same char siew that accompanied the noodles.
A standard bowl of Char Siew Wantan mee with dumplings soup costs RM 7.50. The noodles are fine retaining its springy texture and taste. The chunky slices of Char Siew, aromatic black soya sauce with blanched choy sum completes the dish. At RM 7.50, this is definitely worth the price you are paying for! 👍👍👍
The noodles were extra thin and aldente. There were good.
Dining here during the weekend is a horror. You are not just can't find a seat but you also can't find a parking space. The traffic around here get congested too! So I would recommend to come during the weekdays instead. Overall, if you are having sudden crave on wantan mee and you are somewhere nearby here, do drop by. Otherwise, I do not think it is worth the trip to coming all the way for it. I still think Restoran Chan Meng Kee at SS2 served the best wantan mee.
Overall, despite the terrible fried wantan, Yulek Wan Tan Mee is nonetheless a decent place to drop by for an honest meal at an honest price. For first timers, keep your expectations modest, as I find some reviews given to this place tend to be a tad too generous.
Superb noodles but not exceptionally great roasted meat. For char siew, maybe you can order half lean half fat aka “bun fei sau” for better taste. Love the sui kow. Total bill came to RM18.20 plus a glass of barley ice.
