Jelutong Under The Tree Wan Than Mee

Under The Tree Wan Than Mee, Jelutong Market (3 December 2016)


Jelutong Under The Tree Wan Than Mee (GPS: 5.38932, 100.31209) is the inofficial name I give to a roadside wan than mee in Jelutong. That's because it operates from a makeshift coffee shop which is under a ketapang tree along Ipoh Lane, in proximity to the Jelutong Market. During morning market session, the stretch of Ipoh Lane in front of the wan than mee stall is also occupied by market stalls, so the area is an extension of the market.

I was introduced to this wan than mee by local blogger Wendy Wong, whom I met last night at Cititel's Chef's Signature Buffet. She mentioned to me that this is one of her favourites. Well, my own favourite is the stall across from this one.

We ordered two medium-size plates of wan than mee. And specified we wanted ours extra dark. It was RM4 per plate, and the portion is larger than I have expected. There is one "wet" wanthan and two deepfried ones. The type of sambal provided has more belacan than the stall across the road, but less spicy. On the other hand, the green pickled chili was hot (according to my wife, as I didn't ask for the green pickled chili myself).

This wan than mee has a deeper aroma of sesame oil compared to the stall across the road. In comparison, my wife prefers our usual stall, though both are almost the same, in taste and appearance. I do not mind alternating between the two stalls. Both wan than mee are very good.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
