Best Wantan Mee in Penang

The wantan mee at Chulia Street has been around for a heck of a long time and is also one of the more delicious wantan mee available around the area. Operated in a movable stall with foldable plastic tables and chairs set-up right beside them, their humble plate of wantan mee has got patrons from various places to queue for it. Served in a delicious and oily dark soy sauce, along with noodles that are slightly translucent, fresh homemade wantans, vegetables and char siew, the dish is tastes absolutely tantalizing. 

The name truly stands for itself, where they serve a good plate of wantan mee with a little twist. The noodles aren't as hard or dense like most, but rather, it is soft, chewy and somewhat translucent. The dry sauce too isn't very savoury but the wantan noodles does soak up all the flavour, which is great to say the least. The wantan is large and it comes with char siew and mushrooms. 

This place has probably garnished enough fame through The Star newspaper for being one of the oldest, if not cheapest wantan mee in Penang. He is also famous for retaining the price of his wantan at RM0.50 each for several consecutive years even though there was a fuel and vegetables price hike. As for the wantan mee, you can expect the same amount of generosity in terms of flavour and portion. 

Along the street called " lebuh Melayu ", there is a small stall set up there selling Wantan Mee. At first glance, there wouldnt be much to grab your attention at this small secluded location, but the Wantan Mee sold here has received alot of praise over the years. The stall is run by Ah Hock, who makes the wantans and special sambal that is for his specialty Wantan Mees.

Kedai Kopi Gou Lou is also another treasure in Penang that offers pretty good wantan mee and traditional kopi O. The noodles may not be as springy as others but it certainly does absorb the sauce or broth really well due to its thicker diameter. The wantan itself is filled to the brim and chewing into one of these things are extremely satisfying. Juicy, succulent and full of meat. Also, do not forget to pair with their Kopi O if you have the chance. 

Tai Wah Coffee House may not look like much from outside, but we all know that those type of coffee shop are the ones that serve the best food. Inside, you might have to share tables with random stranger as the seats are really limited. On the other hand, you'll be greeted with a plate of delicious wantan mee. Skinny wantan noodles with a plenty of sauce or broth, wantan, vegetables and siew yoke.

The wantan mee at Lebuh Acheh may not be the easiest to locate, but it certainly is worth the trouble. The stall is operated by an elderly couple, just right in the middle of the three-foot-way, where tables are set alongside the stall for a quick and convenient dining set-up. The wantan mee, either dry or soup comes with a generous amount of noodles, fried dumplings and char siew. The vegetables may be little less but asking for more incurs no charges at all. 

Finding this place isn't gonna be easy. As you have to search for a makeshift coffee shop in along the Jelutong Market. However, do not worry as they only sell wantan mee, that is how good the business is. Featuring noodles that are springy and bouncy along with a choice of delicious dark soy sauce base or clear broth, juicy wantan and a side of vegetables. Customers can also choose to have a mix of wantan noodles and vermicelli as well.
