 In Penang, Wan Tan Mee is usually served dried in black soy sauce or in plain broth, topped with barbecued pork (char-siew), leafy vegetables (Yu Choy or cai-xin) and a couple of wontons either deep-fried or boiled. The original wonton originated from Hong Kong is a piece of wheat dough wrapped with some minced shrimps. The Penang wonton version somehow contains minced pork instead. Being in Austin is almost like a dream comes true if we could place a platter of dried version wonton noodles on o… |

 For the past 6 months we had been searching for yellow noodles in Austin. Both my Significant Other and I love this noodle, even just a plain stir-fried style. One fine day, we came across the similar noodles in the cooler when we passed an aisle at MT Supermarket. Without hesitant, we bought home to try and that led me to think of 'Mee Jawa' - one of Penang hawker food. Oh dear!
