Where Lebuh Chulia and Lebuh Carnavon meets, you find Sai Lam (or Nam?) Coffee Shop and oh wonderful wanton noodles.
Basically the same phenomenon; the element of surprise.
The unexpecting wanton noodle stall that opens after lunch and closes when he finishes which is known to be before dinner time. Welcoming as a snack. A small little stall, how good can the noodles be, you would think.
Busy man and women cooking up the storm.
Good old fashion vegetables, a quick boil, sesame oil, oyster sauce and pepper along with some tightly packed with minced pork wantons. Freshly made by the auntie like shes in a world of her own.You have two choices as to how you want to eat your jumping al-dente egg noodles; with beef parts or the usual char siew and wanton.
By just looking at the picture, the crunchiness of the noodles is evident from the curly look. The last thing you want is to bite into limping noodles and this was certainly not the case. The flavourful tendon completes the dish.
The Red Char Siew threw me off, so i gladly dug into my beef noodles.If you thought that this was it, you got to wait for the price.
RM 2.70 a bowl.
Where to get a portion thats just nice (not a hefty portion that is more than one should handle) and a ohh so affordable price?
At Sai Lam (or Nam) Coffee Shop; where Chulia street and Carnarvon street meets.

j: dunno..got to ask the wanton mee takers..
There are 3 famous wan tan mee stalls along Chulia street. Just a stone throw away from this stall. Yummy springy noodle!
shit..now i'm missing wan tan mee...
this place is way way over rated, the wan ton soup tastes like dishwater. I thought there is something wrong with my tastebuds, but I guess with the packed shop it must cater for people with this type of taste unless
they are there just bcos it is cheap
anon: well i didnt touch the dishwater soup like u mentioned..the noodles was fine as it is, but like i noticed, alot of subjective preference in penang hawker food..
tng: awww..dont miss them..
email2me: chulia is a lonnng street!
darn. It's been a year since I had a plate of wantan mee... Cant wait to chow down in less than a week's time!! u made me salivate with all these pics:)
