If there’s only one must-try wantan noodle in Penang, I’d recommend this from Wan Tan Mee House in Jalan Burma, Georgetown. The first time we chanced upon it was through its back door without any shop name, only to realize it’s one of the top few Wantan Mee in Penang. Quality has been consistent over the year, based on my own experience.

Unlike the usual Wantan Mee, the noodles in this plate is somewhat like Yee Mian drenched with a thick, starchy egg gravy, akin to a Hor Fun gravy. It’s chewy without any alkaline taste, yet smooth because of the gravy coating. Served with shredded chicken, char siew slices, pork lard, mushroom and deep-fried wantans. Minced pork of a flavorful marinate wrapped in wantan skin of a level of crispiness that had me over the moon like never before.
