When I was Vietnam, my colleague there says its hard to get good traditional wantan Mee in Msia nowadays!
He said he can't even find it in alor setar! That's y he enjoy noodle in Vietnam very much
Well.... He might b right ... He is been away for too many yrs... N so use to compare Msia noodle with Vietnam noodle... N taste preference also change after staying there so long...
I wasnt sure bout alor setar, not familiar! but in Klang valley, a place still Cantonese speaking dominating... Now definitely hv alot of wantan Mee stalls, because wantan Mee recipe was brought From Guang dong! So many Cantonese here!
What is good wantan Mee? Anyway, I may hv my way of assessing how good a wantan Mee. so Don't scold me if u find the stall I mentioned here is not good! But for sure, I don't get pay for what I said so no commercial influence for sure!
I love this Hang Gei beside the busy jln loke yew, I just had it this morning b4 I go to office!
The noodle is chewy rather crunchy mixed with dark soy sauce... Yes, typical central peninsular Msia version, black! Tasty!
Y i keep coming back to this restaurant? Cant be just the noodle Right? yeah... they maintain their standard for dunno how many ten yrs... U wont find Vege is over cook here, which many stalls overlook this! Clear traditional soup, bone boiled with 'left mouth' fish with lots of spring onion n white pepper powder when serve! guess what? they serve
6 pieces of wantan, oh yes, SIX !!! No fancy big prawn in it, just pork mix with again 'left mouth fish powder'! u may think its simple, but yet to maintain the balance of taste, not too salty, not too much of pepper n taste not dominated by left mouth fish powder... No smelly pork... It's kungfu!
They also serve big portion of char Siew if u order char Siew wantan Mee! Yes, big portion! Well grilled, not really perfect char Siew to current standard, but still a very gd one, depend on luck, u may get a well balance fat part ... Yum!
Ps- their vinegared green chilly also good, never too sweet or sour, seed normally no longer attached n replaced daily, crunchy as its shd!
Last week I did went to restaurant FEN GEI, along jln sg besi, slight opposite mah sing hq office!
Another super old shops in KL city. Their
noodle still bamboo pressed... Crunchy! Very traditional way... They do serve pork knuckle, beef, mushroom chicken feet... Great noodle!
If u r there, their fried noodle is still very very traditionally good! The
Wok Hei is so so strong! Believe me! Whether is Bak yin yong or the fried dried beef hor fun!!!
I hv many frens like the Goon Gei petaling street! Oh yes, they serve good noodle, they mix alot of
char Siew sauce into the noodle, SWEET! Not my favourite but they do deserve to b gd traditional wantan Mee....
Last month when I was at PJ, wanted to eat at the ss2 restaurant, the fat boy that serve good char Siew! But my Fren led me to another restaurant in sea park.... Yes! Super hard home made noodle with great char Siew! Can't remember the name, later I will post the location link when I free...
Another wantan Mee I go often is the one in Tmn segar, with the world no 1 spicy noodle as their signature! I beliefed their boss travel a lot n know what makes a gd restaurant! Gd environment, clean n gd service! Back to wantan Mee, they serve gd crunchy noodle, great char siew! U can also top $ for prawn wantan... Everything is good actually n good portion. Only question in my mine is y minced pork is serve, despite we'll braised, but I wonder why!
I will add more when I free
Share me UR favourite!
