Chulia Street Mother and Son Wantan Mee
| Share |
Two weeks ago I posted about a famous curry mee in [tag]Chulia Street[/tag], this time it’s about the mother and son [tag]wantan mee[/tag] stall selling beside it. It is named mother and son simply because a mother and her son are operating it.
The mother would boil the noodles while the son prepares the ingredients and serve customers. I think she looks kinda cool in this photo lol.
Left one is regular, right one is large portion.. total is RM5.30. Business is brisk and you can see the big pile of wantan noodle ready to be cooked, so you could estimate the amount of customers in one night alone. I think that’s roughly triple the amount of a usual hawker would sell..
As you can see, their wantan mee is on the wetter side. There’s nothing fantastic about their wantan mee, but it is definitely one of the nicer ones in [tag]Penang[/tag]. I think for the next visit I am gonna try the yee fu mee/hokkien char stall, looks great lol. For good wantan mee in Bukit Mertajam, you gotta try the one beside Tua Pek Kong temple. It’s the best for me.

Ayam Penyet AP @ AEON Seberang Perai, Penang
about 1 year ago - 2 comments
Ayam Penyet AP, an affordable restaurant serving the delicious and addictive Indonesian cuisine called Ayam Penyet, loosely translated to smashed fried chicken. It is a perfect alternative to the already over-mushroomed kopitiam franchises. Not only the quality is getting worse, portion is getting smaller and prices are always increasing. Imagine, after I finished my cuppa

Old Green House restaurant (老青屋) is a popular place among Penangites to have Hokkien Mee (or Prawn Noodle in other Malaysian states) either as dinner or supper. Although the noodle is also available in the morning at another ‘day shift’ stall, most of the working people only have the opportunity to savor it after working

Every year I will make it a point to visit the colorful and tantalizing Bazaar Ramadhan. Last year I was at one of the largest in Malaysia at Shah Alam and this year, I am visiting one near my house at Bandar Baru Perda, Seberang Perai Tengah. The Bazaar Ramadhan at Bandar Baru Perda is

Sate Zainah Ismail Best Satay In Town @ Jalan Keramat, KL
about 1 year ago - 22 comments
As you might already know I am desperately looking for a satay in Klang Valley that could rival, and perhaps even better than those that I had in Singapore which I hate to admit is still the best I ever had to date. So when two of my fellow readers recommended Sate Zainah Ismail at

One of the oldest hawker stall in Penang that is still operating can be found at Kedai Kopi Seng Thor @ Lebuh Carnavon. Seng Thor is particularly famous its Lor Mee but I feel the Lor Bak here deserves a better mention. The uncle has been selling his home-made lor bak daily without fail for
Sri Bistari Famous Nasi Ayam Penyet @ Changi Village
about 1 year ago - 5 comments
To be honest, I haven’t tried a lot of Indonesian food but I can vouch my love for Ayam Penyet, this wonderful traditional dish that originates from Subaraya. Smashed fried chicken served with rice and spicy hot sambal, so simple yet so additively delicious. Not too far away from Tampines at Changi Village is Sri
Siam Road (Jalan Siam) Charcoal Char Koay Teow
about 1 year ago - 12 comments
The Char Koay Teow stall along Siam Road, Penang has gotta be one of the best in town. And a good thing about it is you won’t be charged exorbitantly for a plate of Char Koay Teow – something that is supposed to be cheap and affordable but is fast becoming a gourmet priced food

Is this the stall next to the curry mee in chulia street? if so, this is one of the famous wanton mee… if you ta pau back home and you happen to stay in bayan lepas area, … the noodle will not be expanded and it’s still crunchy and tender like just boil on the spot.

If you think the Wantan Mee of this Mother & Son stall is good, then you should not miss the Wantan Mee stall located not too far from this Mother&Son’s stall, but in the cafe shop. Unfortunately, this shop only operates until 9.00pm. This stall was interviewed and appear in the Star paper recently………………
