Wantan Mee
Canton-i @ Sunway Pyramid, Truly Hong Kong?
Jul 8th
Let me start by saying the only reason I visited Canton-i was to avoid feeling left out. I have been hesitant to try Canton-i because I realize they are under the same management with Dragon-i. For me, this spells discouragement because my experience with Dragon-i in the past was pretty bad. I wasn’t completely hopeless anyway seeing that Canton-i had a different menu, it could be a different breed compared to Dragon-i.
That wet towel, is RM1 each.
港式奶茶 (Hong Kong Tea & Milk), RM5.50.
Canton-i’s Signature Egg Tarts were highly acclaimed by some who tried it before so I ordered it too. Too bad it was not good for me, the pastry was not crispy at all and they felt like they had been on the shelf for too long. The only good thing about the egg tarts was the relatively cheap price compared to the rest of the menu, RM5 for three. Click here to continue reading >
White Wantan Mee @ Pek Kong Cheng Bukit Mertajam
Jul 10th
If there should be a most iconic food for Bukit Mertajam 大山脚, it would be none other than the noodles sold beside BM’s Pek Kong Cheng at the food court area. It has been given a lot of names from White Wantan Mee to Tok Tok Mee to Tokong Mee. Some even call it Hakka Mee.
However, most people I came across prefer to call it White Wantan Mee. I think this is because it’d sound more recognizable for the masses and also create curiosity for strangers of Bukit Mertajam. Now, wouldn’t you want to know how wantan mee looks and tastes like, in white?
Chulia Street Mother and Son Wantan Mee
Nov 1st
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.
Wantan Mee @ Tua Pek Kong Bukit Mertajam
May 21st
Bukit Mertajam(BM) @ “Tua Shua Ka” has a lot of good food to offer, the infamous duck egg Char Koay Teow which only opens at night, the Dried Hokkien Mee in Sri Sentosa, Taman Sri Rambai’s Curry Mee, BM Market’s Koay Chap etc.
In a sunny Sunday morning, there’s nothing better than enjoying a bowl of “Tok Tok Mee”. It is also known as “Tokong Noodles” as the stall operates beside a temple. It has been there since my father’s childhood, which means 50 years of business!
The name “Tok Tok Mee” cames from the process of making the noodles. Early in the morning everyday, “tok tok” sound can be heard caused by bamboo sticks hitting and pressing the noodle’s dough.
It looks like Wantan Mee soup, and tastes a little like Sarawak Mee. The noodles can be ordered in 3 different ways: dried, half-dried or in soup. I like half-dried the most 
At a price of RM2.00 per bowl, it is a steal.
