Famous Wan Tan Mee

We had the famous Wan Tan Mee for breakfast during our recent visit to Penang. The mee is rather soggy and the fried wantons are rather tough and hard.

We don't find it that good as perceived and could not understand how it becomes famous that it is called Famous Wan Tan Mee.

If you are looking for a place for lunch, go to Kedai Kopi Kong Bee Lee. Apart from the Koay Teow Soup & Wan Tan Mee Stalls, there are two other stalls. One Indian selling Curry Rice and the other Chinese stall selling Curry Rice as well.

We enjoyed our lunch there and the food is average but there are quite a crowd during lunch hours.

Pontian Wanton Noodles in Singapore

You can find another Malaysian hawker food in Singapore. It is the famous Pontian Wanton Noodles from Pontian, Johore, Malaysia. It is located in the Marine Parade Central ( Market & Food Centre) in Block 84, Marine Parade Central.

The Pontian Wanton Noodles Stall is in Block 84, Marine Parade Central. The bowl of wanton noodles with a small bowl of wanton & soup cost S$2.50. They come in different variation, black sauce and with or without chilli. It is self-service, you have queue for your bowl of wanton noodles.

The noodles are not as fine as those from HongKong or Penang but they are good. The fried wanton is crunchy and good.
