The Wantan Mee at Leng Nia in Lip Sin Garden (3 August 2008)


Penang Wan Than Mee (檳城雲吞麵), also written wantan mee or wanton mee, is a popular noodle dish that is available at most coffee shops and hawker centres in the state. It is said to be a Hakka and Cantonese dish that originated from South China. Penang Wantan Mee is usually taken as breakfast but also available during lunch time.

Penang Wan Than Mee gets its name from the wanton (Chinese ravioli) that accompanies the noodle dish. A less common name for Wan Than Mee is Tok Tok Mee, so called because in the olden days Wan Than Mee hawkers used to announce their arrival by hitting two bamboo sticks or chopsticks together.

Penang Wan Than Mee is available either as dry form, on a plate, or as a soup. The dry form is served in soy sauce and sesame oil, and topped with barbecued pork and vegetable. In addition to wanton, many Wan Than Mee hawkers also sell sui kow (prawn dumplings), a bigger, more elaborate version of the wanton made with finely diced water chestnut, prawns, meat, and some times mushrooms and carrots.

Ingredients of Wan Than Mee:

  1. wheat noodle
  2. wanton (Chinese ravioli)
  3. barbecued pork
  4. chye sim (sawi, often translated as mustard green, but are not exactly similar)

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
