One of the many famous Penang street food dishes is wantan mee. Read more about Lebuh Acheh Wantan Mee here: http://migrationology.com/2015/06/lebuh-acheh-wantan-mee-penang/
Penang is one of the most famous cities in Malaysia and even throughout the world for its diversity of delicious food available. After having an action packed trip to Langkawi, Ying and I arrived in Penang. On our first day, I had some work to do, so we didn’t go on a big street food adventure, but using the map on Foursquare, I found a restaurant called Lebuh Acheh Wantan Mee that served Penang wantan mee, and so we decided to go check it out.
The Uncle and Aunty that ran the restaurant were extremely nice to us, and they had a choice of either pre fried wantan mee noodles or fresh egg noodles wantan mee. We decided to get one of each, plus a bowl of wantan dumplings in soup on the side. Malaysian wantan mee, which is sometimes referred to as kon lou or kon loh wantan mee, is a type of noodles hand-tossed in a black sauce made with dark soy sauce. After the noodles were boiled, the Uncle dished them into bowls and then tossed them within the sauce mixture, making sure to coat the noodles. The Aunty then topped each bowl of Penang wantan mee with slices of char siu bbq pork, a handful of blanched choi sum, fried wantan, and some green onions. I’ve eaten plenty of noodles, but I think this was my first time to try black sauce hand tossed noodles.
I started off trying the pre-fried noodles, which were similar to instant packaged ramen noodles. At first I thought the fried noodles would be stir fried instead of boiled, but they were rather boiled, but just fried and dried before. The noodles had a crinkly texture and they were easy to chew. The sauce was slightly sweet, and to me it had a nice nutty flavor to it. The fresh egg noodles were dressed in the same exact dressing, but the noodles had a much different texture, that was much more silky and maybe a little more chewy. I think overall I preferred the fresh egg noodles better.
Along with Penang kon lou wantan mee, they also had extra wantan dumplings at Lebuh Acheh Wantan Mee. To my delight, the wantan were probably my favorite items for lunch. The wantan were filled with minced pork and minced shrimp, and nice bits of water chestnut. But what I really like about them was that the bowl of soup was nicely flavored with sesame oil and sesame seeds – the dumplings were delicious.

In penang also have yummy chicken rice you should try it out, yummy desert the ABC ice kacang (desert), oyster fried with egg,(streets Food) apom balik(indian food),Tosai (indian Food). The previous version Laksa flim is not the best anymore there is more laksa taste better than the one you flim ( another new version laksa mix with siamese laksa) this is very special.
When you wake up in Australia and have absolutely not way in hellll of getting Wanton Mee ??? might be one of my favourite dishes of all time? So effffingggg GOOD!!
mark since you've tried penang…you should go to melaka..another state in malaysia…its has a lot of history n good food in melaka?
not a fan of dark sauce.
I love pork noodle
I always miss this one. They're always closed by the time I was there.
his facial expressions when he likes what he eats hahah
You must not drowned the noodles in the sauce. Look like wanton soup
The videos should come with a warning… I was with a group in Penang recently, what I noticed is that all the people in food and touristy stuff are ready to cheat you. The hidden charges and extra Billings is terrible. The Chinese food and Indian Muslim food are the same… even the hotels don't want to issue you a proper bill
If he makes you hungry when you watch his videos and you dont have nothing around, just have a nice cup of coffee. That always works for me.
I feel scared on his eyes
I love noodles.
the soup is "siew kau".. its bigger than wan tan..
Stop it Mark… Your video is making me hungrier…
