Wantan Noodles

Wantan Noodles

Kedai Makanan & Minuman Wantan Mee

40, Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock (formerly Heeren Street)

Open 7.30am to 2.30pm. Closed on Wednesdays.

THIS is one of the earliest wantan noodle stalls in Malacca, having opened before 1957. Locals used to call it the “Ah Mah Cheh wantan meen”, as it was run by an ah mah cheh, a Cantonese maidservant with a Manchu-style pigtail. Upon her return to Hong Kong in 1998, the stall was taken over by her nephew’s wife, Madam Chen. The Malaccan-style wantan noodles are tossed with a vinegary chilli sauce and topped with lard fritters, giving the dish its distinctive spicy, tangy flavour. The gummy noodles are consistently good, and the thick local coffee here is good too.
