Wan Tan Mee at Lye Lye Food Court

It was one of the moments where we were literally in the middle of nowhere, and just being thirsty for liquid after our morning walk, we chanced upon this coffee shop, Lye Lye Food Court. But to our surprise, it turned out that this place is a popularity among residents in the area. Initially we were only there for a drink but somehow we got caught up with the crowd and tagged along with their interesting occurrence of eating penangite's all time favourite Cantonese noddles, Wan Tan Mee.

 

I have grown up alongside with this food, and it proved to be a good companion whenever I'm hungry. Ever since then I started to develop a particular fondness towards this noodles, probably very much due to its simplicity and availability. Fortunate enough, now it seemed like I'd found myself another reliable place for my Wan Tan Mee list.



 



While most of the stalls are still sleeping away, this one made it a point to start its business early. It wasn't that early though, as it was already close to 12.00pm . This food court usually peaks at night, with more than twenty over stalls competing for business, but ironically at noon, there was barely a few stalls opened.


This Wan Tan Mee had a spell on me upon first sight. I always like food that looks good, because naturally food that is tantalizing to our eyes, is also delightful for both our tastebuds and stomachs, well that's often my theory. And in this case, I was right about the noodles as they were definitely more slender and was very much to our liking. The black soy sauce had a delicate sweetness and complemented the noddles very well.


On the other hand, the fried dumplings were warm and crispy, with a generous stuffing of minced meat inside. Although I still prefer steamed dumplings at times, the dumplings were very much satisfactory. It all looked too simple with all the ingredients in place, yet the taste was far from simple and indeed it was unrelentingly good. Definitely a place worth returning and spending for a simple Cantonese delicacy.  9.0

The wan tan mee is nice but the service sucks!!! They don't serve in sequence. So, those who ordered forst will get later than those ordered later!!!! And the guy (who cooks the mee) is damn very rude!
