Penang Hawkers Food : Wan Tan Mee [Updated 2nd Dec 2009]

Based on a poll carried out by the Penang State Government , Wan Tan Mee was voted # 12 with 1109 votes out of 2,018. The objective of the poll was to select 12 food that will be featured in the special brochure called the “Penang 12 Best Food”. However, I read somewhere that Mee Goreng (ranked # 15 with 997 votes) will replace Wan Tan Mee as Penang Best Food # 12 :-)

There is 2 basic version ie the Dry and the Wet version and this is how Wan Tan Mee (at New World Park) looks like  :-

For me, the version at New World Park is just okay.

This how the version at the New Cathay Coffee Shop opposite Belissa Row, Pulau Tikus looks like

All I have to do is to say "Good Morning" to the Lady and the above will be served to me automatically :-) I love the fried Wan Tan and the bowl of wet Wan Tan but I think the wet Wan Tan will taste better without the taste of prawn in it.
