7 October, 2019
It has been a very long time since I last visited Golden Phoenix Food Court. As I don't have a proper photo of it, I decided to pay it a visit. Also, I wanted to try the wan than mee which was recommended by Easter Yeoh.

I arrived on a Monday morning at 7:30am, and found that the place was rather dead. The hawker centre doesn't even have the name "Golden Phoenix" on its signboard, which is so tiny. Most of the stalls were not operating (could it be due to Nine Emperor Gods Festival, I am not sure). There was a dim sum stall running, and a pan mee stall.

At the far end of the hawker centre I found the Hong Kong Wan Thun Mee stall. Is this the stall Easter talked about? I don't know, but since this is the only wan than mee stall running, I ordered one plate of wan than mee, medium size. The price was RM6.50.

The wan than mee comes with a good amount of char siew. There are three meaty wan thans. The dish was served with pickled green chili. I asked for sambal, but they do not have it. The wan than noodle is very thin.

The taste is okay, but not to the point that I would recommend it. Maybe this is Hong Kong style, as I prefer the local Penang style with black soya sauce. I finished the pickled green chili - maybe an indication that I need a taste booster.

The price of RM6.50 for the medium size plate is certainly on the high side for wan than mee. I can say that the wan than are big and meaty.
