Prawn mee, or Hokkien mee as we call it in Penang, is undoubtedly one of the most popular hawker dishes on the island, you would find it in almost every kopitiam or hawker centers, and being someone who hailed from Penang, it is of course one of my favorite street food dishes.

Prawn mee often comes with yellow noodle, meehun, or a combination of both (my usual go-to). However, if you find yourself on the island, there’s one special stall that offers a unique concoction you don’t find anywhere else – wantan mee in prawn mee soup & ingredients.
The reason they can do this is simple, this stall at Mount Erskine morning market offers both wantan mee and prawn mee. In fact, the first time I had this was probably some 30 odd years ago, operated by the current seller’s parents then (I assume).

I like this unique combination not for novelty sake, but the thin type of wantan mee soak up the flavors of prawn noodle soup very well and offers great texture. Try it, after all, how can you say no for only RM 4 per?
Enjoy and stay safe!

We used to have a very nice one here but the stall has since closed down.
Now that inter-district/state travel is allowed, you’ve flown out of your roost, eh? Have fun! #staysafe #staywell
suituapui: thanks, stay safe yourself too, i went back to see my mom 🙂
Wonton mee indeed can absorb the flavour of the broth better, I sometimes also order curry mee with wonton noodle.
Choi Yen: ooo where did you get curry mee with wantan noodle?!
I tried several places and one of them is this

Choi Yen: terima kasih cik.
I, too (like choiyen above), have ordered curry mee with wantan noodles before…very nice, so I should think it works for prawn mee too. To answer your question, if you find a wantan mee stall that also sells curry mee, then you can have that option-lah! 😉
