Tok Tok Mee

In the past, a wantan mee seller will hit a bowl with a pair of chopsticks, making a sound like "tok-tok tok-tok" to announce his arrival and attract people's attention. Hence the origin of the name Tok Tok Mee. Today major hawker stalls in Penang will display the dish simply as wantan noodles.

Wantan noodle is probably the easiest hawker food to prepare. You just simply boil the noodle for an instant and toss it into a plate filled with soya sauce and pepper. The only tough part maybe the preparation of wantan or dumpling. Wrapping the wantan indeed needs skill. And the ingredients within it dictate the overall tastiness of the entire dish as the wantan is the main element of a wantan noodle.

As mentioned, wantan noodle is served with wantan (Cantonese word for dumpling) and vegetable. Wantan is basically a dumpling stuffed with minced pork and prawn which may be boiled or deep fried. It can be easily found throughout Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Guangzhou. The taste however, varies from place to place. In Malaysia alone, you will notice the difference from one town to another. I personally like the dish as it is not so heavy and I love noodle! If you are in town center of Penang, then you may want to check out this place along Burmah Road next to New World Park. It is known as Maria Wantan Mee.

A small plate cost RM3.00 and the business hour starts around 5.30pm in the afternoon.
