Wan Ton Mee @ Tai Wah Coffee Shop, Argyll Road
Upon arriving at my friend's office, she decided that she was going to give me a treat on a famous Wan Ton Mee in town. Finally, we ended up at Tai Wah Coffee Shop.
I had been here before, but never had a chance to try out their famous Wan Ton Mee. The owner of the stall told me that everything was sold out before i got a chance to find a car park. Too bad :(
I am having my "revenge" today!
I always love the Wan Ton Mee from the Jelutong market. And I think that this one is quite good. At least, one of the famous ones in town. Any recommendations for delicious Wan Ton Mee in Penang? Please feel free to tell me, as a Wan-Ton-Mee-addict, there will never be full-stop.
This Wan Ton Mee stall is located at Argyll Road, an old brand in Penang. You may find the coffee shop "full house" whenever you arrive. So, it is advisable to arrive there earlier or else you might have to share your table with others or even miss your affair with the Wan Ton Mee.
The making of Wan Ton Mee by the skilfull stall owner.
A glass of hot almond drink
Prickled Green Chili and Sambal
Most Wan Ton Mee were served with prickled green chilies with soy sauce. I was surprised when they served my Wan Ton Mee with sambal. However, I always enjoy the orginal flavour of my Wan Ton.
Wan Ton Mee
Covered with dark soy sauce, big pieces of "Red Char Siew" and huge Wan Ton. The owner of the stall was generous enough to wrap so much minced meat in the Wan Ton, ordinary ones only have a little bit of meat in a big piece of Wan Ton "skin".
By the way, have you tried the Wan Ton Mee at Bangkok Lane? If compare with this Argyll Road Wan Ton Mee, which one do you prefer?

Hot almond drink in a Chinese kopitiam is something new to me. Is it the norm in Penang?
I like to have sambal/green chillies with wantan mee. Wah always 'full house' here? Must be really good then.

well...i think it can be considered as famous, many people know that place.
is there a famous Wan Ton Mee at Hutton lane? never knew that, too bad didn't get a chance to try it out.
[tching]
you may try it out~~~
well, not really a norm (i guess) =]

i will perfer to maintain the original taste, the taste of the chilies are too strong.
if you are planning to pay them a visit, make sure you arrive there earlier. And don't forget to tell me your foodie experience there.
the wan ton soup with white radish in Bangkok Lane is good.
I have not try both of the wanton mee yet. Rarely dine out for hawker food. Looking at it, kind of missing Penang hawker food.

high-5! i am a huge fan of wan ton mee too!

the noodles like that are nice to eat, some places serve noodles that are as hard as rubber bands, i hate those.
it's at the same place as the indian noodles.
Delicious stuff! I would so love to try that hot almond drink - I've never had anything like that!
Hard to get good Wan Ton Mee noodles in KL. Noodles that is springy, wanton that is with fresh firm meat and a drop of sesame seed oil and thin wrapping skin.
