Summary
Food Name :
Wan Tan Mee

Little piece of fact :
Wanton mee or Wantan mee (Chinese: 云吞面) is a Cantonese noodle dish which is popular in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. The dish is usually served in hot soup or dry stir in black soya sauce or Oyster sauce, garnished with leafy vegetables, Char Siew (roasted barbecued pork meat slices), and together with wanton in a separate bowl. The types of leafy vegetables used are usually kailan also known as Chinese kale. There are various versions to the dish, with the Hong Kong version using prawns and no char siu inside the noodles. Another type of dumpling known as shui gao is sometimes served in place of wanton. It contains prawns, pork, spring onions with some chefs adding mushroom and black fungus.

Food Type :
Chinese Cuisine - Noodles

Location :
The stall is located in the market area, beside a chinese temple in the center of Bukit Mertajam town.

Specialty :
It's similar to the Sarawak's Kolo Mee which is using a different types of noodles rather than the ordinary wan tan noodles. Besides, it does not have the dark soya sauce either.

Environment :
It's located in the market area, so most of the time the floor should be wet and the environment is a little bit damp, however, it's still tolerable, especially in view of the nice food. :P

Personal Comments :
Though it's nice, but I was a little thirsty after finishing the noodles, which would most probably as a results of having too much of artificial seasonings. I still think the Sarawak version offered me better taste to my liking, anyway, this is just a perfect substitute for Kolo Mee which is available in peninsular Malaysia.

My Personal Rating (of its kind):
7 /10
