From operating a small hawker stall in Meng Shiang kopitiam, Yulek Wan Tan Mee has beaten the odds to now occupy an entire shoplot serving their claim to fame — Wanton Noodles (RM6) with irresistible char siew. The business is family-run, a young son (perhaps grandson) tosses noodles with dexterity while Ah Ma wields the cleaver to slice thick cuts of barbecued pork. Constantly bustling with diners, this is a spot to dine solo without ever feeling alone. Expect springy noodles covered evenly in the aromatic dark sauce and topped off with an absurdly generous heap of char siew. The meat's brilliantly roasted for a charred finish and it's on the leaner side, so don't feel too bad about wiping this plate clean.
Avg Price: RM10
