KY eats – Traditional Wantan Noodle and such at Chong Loy, Sunway
Undoubted many of you agree that Penang offers the best hawker food in this country, the best char kueh teow, curry mee, prawn mee, and of course, laksa, can be found on the island. However, there are more than just these few offerings when it comes to Chinese hawker food, and there are certainly dishes that tastes better outside the favorite hawker food destination that is Penang.
traditional set up with lots of combination of ingredients
When it comes to wantan noodle and various roasted/bbq meat items, some of the bests can be found right here in Klang Valley. One of my favorite places to have a cheap and good traditional wantan noodle would be Restaurant Choy Loy at PJS 10, situated just opposite Sunway Pyramid.
The first time I visited this place was actually in the previous decade when I used to stay at around the area. It was nice to see that the shop is still running and selling basically the same thing after I came back from the States.
roast pork & bbq pork, beef & innards, chicken feet & mushroom, roasted duck
The selling point at Chong Loy is the variety of traditional noodle and rice you can get. They have the classic wan tan mee with char siu (bbq pork), then there’s siu yoke (roasted pork), lap cheong (Chinese pork sausage), roasted duck, chicken, chicken feet with mushroom, and even beef including tripes. You can pick any combination to go with noodle in dry and soup version, or rice.
look at the dude enjoying!
I have tried pretty much everything from this place over the years. While it might not carry the wow factor like siu yoke at Pudu or char siu at Aman Suria, everything do tastes pretty good and proper, just like how they should be. I particularly like the chicken feet with mushroom and the wan tan noodle with beef.
This place is just behind Ah Foong bak kut teh

You drew the map? I can see there was a Caltex there =P Btw The WT mee looks nice, Ill go pay a visit =P
Hey, KY..what do you mean by traditional wantan mee? To me, it has something to do with how the noodle is made, type soup, the wantan itself…etc. Noodle should be made using a bamboo stick to “massage” it so as to have the RIGHT texture. Wantan size and ingredients must be RIGHT too. Serving bowl should be RIGHT too. If too BIG, the remaining wantan noodle may differ as it may have been submerged in the hot soup for too long…
I’m hungry, just the right time your post comes in.
I’m going for lunch.
MMmmm….
Thanks for the informative map that you always provide with your food reviews. It is a great effort. I will be going back to Msia soon and will definitely go for a chicken feet & mushroom wantan mee at Chong Loy.
Dude, looks more like charsiew, thung ku kai kiok mee to me. Where’s the wantan?
Original wan tan mee that Hitam mention can be found here. http://www.foodpoi.com/hochak/ahochaks707p1.html

I like wantan noodle served with prickled chilli or prickled white turnip (pak law pak)
Yummmm…yummmm
i come from sitiawan.. got no nice food there.. i’m not from penang
practically even a 1 tonne mee seller needs to be creative in dishing out new cooking methods
Wannabe Economist,
Yes yes, it’s always self drawn.

I doubt you could find the bamboo stick version here in Malaysia.

One of my favourite wantan mee is in Section 17.

Yatz,
Uncle’s stall, like mom’s cooking, is always best!

foodcrazee,
oOOO, interesting.
eiling,
Lotsa choices, pretty good food, and rather inexpensive.
fish fish,
Hahhaa, great!
I need this wantan mee and that freaking Aman Suria char siew. Because I’m depressed. Because cafeteria food sucks and because today is Friday – I need to be rewarded.
my boss eats wantan mee everywhere he goes, early morning before Tee off also must have wantan mee leh.. according to him, Breakfast of Champions.. wakakakaka
Cool selections for the Wan Than Mee. I should have check where are the good places to eat over here as I was over there last week. Anyway, certain food in your area certainly tasted better than Penang. In fact, I have found a few hidden ones that are truly unique.
Nice site you have here. I’ll be hopping in more often now
Ching,
Hahaha. I think you’ll love the char siu there!
Bernsy,
Ooo interesting philosophy. lol
Criz Lai,
Thanks for the vote of confidence!
You can still find traditional made from bamboo stick wantan noodles here in Malaysia, but you gotta travel all the way to Kota Bharu in Kelantan, look for Kedai Mee How Kee, the owner Mr. Foong makes his own noodles and wantan skin using a bamboo stick. He told me that he will probably only run his shop for another 5-6 years as all his daughters are in Singapore. So its a dying art
cupnoodles,
Yah, how unfortunate. Kelantan is the only state I haven’t stepped foot on though.
KY… you should go la… my impression used to be nothing there, but when I went there mid this year, I was surprised, full of good food
cupnoodles,
Interesting, yah I should go there one of these days. My younger brother’s studying there too.
I went to this shop few days ago during office hour, the queue was so long..
although that time was office hour, but many ppl still willing to queue and wait for a sit..
but it does not let me take much time for getting a sit as the stuff there were trying their best to sit me..
erm.. i have tried their siu yok with char siu wan tan mee… it was so yummy… and my colleague say that their mushroom chicken feet not bad too…
although there got no air-conditioner, and the place might been enough, bt their food quaility can be proven by look at the queue XD
[...] and rice based dishes that is often associated with restaurants like this (another place would be Chong Loy at Sunway). They have wantan, dumpling, char siew (bbq pork), siu yok (roast pork), roast duck, [...]
