Famous Mama One Ton Mee at Lorong Susu, Penang

For those of you who have been following us since day one when we started this, you would know that lorong Susu is one of the place that we kinda love going because they have a few nice things to eat. We blogged about the ROTI CANAI and the ever famous CHICKEN RICE. Go read about it!

And then, there's this another shop that you must go in Penang called Mama One Ton Mee. She's not a big fan of wan tan mee, not really and he's just okay with anything. So, we decided to give it a try. What's an extra point to this shop is that we didn't know they serve other kind of food too. Thumbs up :) Not only wan tan mee. Heh. They have other noodles and rice sets served with soup.

We were there for breakfast before heading to church for Mother's Day Celebration! So, here's a-lil-belated Blessed Mother's Day to you all :)

Enjoy this one guys :)

Came out in newspaper also heh. Must be really good.

Although it's a corner shop, it's quite small and have very limited tables.

Kitchen will be the first thing you see as you walk in.

Item 1: The Signature One Ton Mee (comes with dumpling soup) - RM3.30

He says: Normal wan tan.

She says: The soup is averagely like other that you can get in any kopitiam. The dumplings, were so delicious. The ingredient they use to make it is sweet and fragrantful. I don't know.. One bite and the magic happens in your both, sort of. NEED TO TRY THE DUMPLINGS!

He says: The noodle is really smooth and nice. May be they can add some fried wan tan into it tough. Haha! Overall, it is not bad...

She says: Just like normal wan tan mee for me. The noodles might be a lil nicer than the usual ones. This one slightly thinner and smoother.

Shanghai Noodles with Mapo Tofu (Spicy) - RM5.00

He says: I discovered something new that I like to eat in Penang! The noodle itself tastes really good! But warn you, it is spicy. I think its cheap for that portion. For me, its a must try.

She says: First time trying this Shanghai noodles. It's super yummy. The noodles itself is so soft and at the same time chewy-but-not-chewy-kind. I don't even know how to describe it. It's smooth and delicious. The soup of the mapo tofu is soooo good! It looked like it's really spicy but actually, it's just right. And the minced meat that comes with it is soft and tender. This is one of the best noodles I've had. No kidding! MUST TRY!

Battle of TWO Wan Tan Mee Stalls in Penang.

We never really would regard ourselves as Wan Tan Mee lovers. Not that we hate it or dislike it but I think we never really go crazy over this hawker food. Not till recently.

This post is specially created like that because we went to two different place in the span of few days. Both also we ate in the midnight, I think. So, here it goes. Our Wan Tan Mee story.

First place we went: Wan Tan Mee at Chulia Street, Penang

Mr Tam Chiak making his order.

It was drizzling that night, hence the lady's fashionable 'pink hat' :)

Wan Tan Mee (used to be called 'Tok Tok Mee in the olden days) - RM2.80

He says: Quite different from other wan tan mees. The noodle is just right! However, the lady gave me a unpleasant look when I ordered the food. Boo sama lu! Bad service..

She says: I wasn't that hungry the night we ate this. So, that's why we only ordered one plate of it. I could smell it even before the pinkhatlady puts it down onto our table. The noodles, not too hard and not too soft. I think what makes this wan tan mee taste so good (and apparently famous too) is the black sauce/gravy that makes or breaks the whole dish. In conclusion ah, I LOVE THIS ONE! :)

Wan Tan Soup - RM3.00 (9 pieces of mini wantons)

He says: Normal la.. 

She says: I like the wantons. Very soft and meaty and juicy. Soup, is pretty okay. Nothing extraordinary le.

Wan Tan Mee at Chulia Street, Penang.

Location: Along the same road as Old Trafford Burger.

Price: Reasonable

His rating: 6/10

Her rating: 8.5/10

Second place we went: Maria's Wan Tan Mee at Burmah Road

Grumpy aunty is grumpy heh.

Wan Tan Mee (thin/fat noodles) - RM3.00

He says: I like this one! The noodles are soft and the gravy is just nice. =) the only downside is that there is no fried wan tans =( haha.

She says: Two different types of noodles. My fav is the fat one! That's my order btw! The noodles are okay. It's more to the hard side but still nice. The sauce/gravy is just ok ok to me. Very normal kind of wan tan mee that any other place also have d.

Dumpling Soup - RM0.80 per piece (minimum of 4 pieces)

He says: Gah.. expensiveeee.. Very small and little pieces of prawn and pork inside. But its good =D

She says: I LOVE THESE DUMPLINGS! Got prawn and pork meat inside. What makes it so nice is the mixture of herbs/veges that's part of the filling. Such brilliant idea. And the soup, very tasty! :)

So, in any battle, there must be a winner and a loser, right?

Let's see who likes what!

HIS YAY: The second one =) Ma-ri-yah ma-ri-yah....! 

HER YAY: DEFINITELY THE FIRST ONE. The one along Chulia Street! The wan tan mee has more aroma than Maria's. Though I have to say that the dumplings at Maria's are a lot nicer (but expensive ehh)! My all-time-winner would still be Chulia Street's Wan Tan Mee (that's of course until I go find and taste better ones!) For now, *cheers* CHULIA STREET! CHULIA STREET!

AIYO! No winner ehh!

Guess what! We are gonna determine the winner and loser with your help! Very simple! There will be a YELLOW poll box on the right side of this blog. Simply click which wan tan mee you like more and we will see who the winner is.

Is this going to be like the 'battle of the sexes"? Hmm..

So, join us and let's see who will win this battle for the first time? He? She?

We will find out very soon! :)
