Noodle in Penang





These are various types of Wanton Noodles available in Penang.

1. Wanton in soup and plate of noodles served separately

2. Wanton with some deep fried pig skin and wanton in soup

3. Deep dried wanton served with noodle

4. Plain wanton on noodles, chicken meat

5. .....

I am trying to study all types of Wanton Noodle in Penang and share with friends in Hong Kong.

I accidentally found the so called Prawn noodles was fantastic favour! Probably I like going with Chille, that is a great bowl of hot spicy prawn noodles...

And most of all this Wanton or prawn noodle is RM2.50 approximately HKD6.00 and USD0.70!

Comparing with Hong Kong, a regular Wanton Noodles is HKD14.00-16.00 now! Too expensive!

Well, when I was young, the cheapest Wanton Noodles was just HKD0.30 with three pieces of Wanton made of prawn and some minced pork.
That was 1971. Now the Wanton Noodles has been changed with just prawn and no meat at all.
I am prefer to have the old fashioned noodle.
More complexed and extended taste of pork and prawn! Now a bowl of 5 Wanton Noodles cost us HKD16.00 which is 53.3 times more expensive after 37 years!
