Best Wantan Mee
in Penang
Penang Wantan Mee is a beloved street food staple, featuring springy egg noodles tossed in a signature dark sauce made from soy sauce, lard, and sesame oil. It is typically served with char siew (barbecued pork), blanched mustard greens, and a side of wonton dumplings (minced pork wrapped in thin dough) either in a small bowl of clear soup or deep-fried. The defining characteristic of the Penang version is the accompaniment of **'pickled green chillies'**, which provide a sharp, vinegary contrast to the rich, savory noodles. Order it as **'Wantan Mee Konlo'** (dry) or **'Wantan Mee Soup'**. The trap is "mushy" noodles that lack the characteristic *al dente* "snap" (*QQ* texture). Expect to pay RM6–RM12.
