Kedai Kopi Mayloon (May Loon Cafe) is situated at the junction of Kimberly Street and Penang Road, right between Chowrasta Market and the famous Penang Road Chendul.
What a hidden gem, very under rated wan than mee stall and also economy rice in a small kopitiam tucked away amidst the busy bustling Penang Road. Surrounded by famous eateries such as Nasi Kandar, Ais Tingkap, Chendol, laksa and char koay teow, people seem to have forgotten this humble little coffeeshop and its offerings.
The noodles are cooked by an old Cantonese man, a bit camera shy, but his skills at making perfectly springy, chewy, luscious, slurpy noodles shine through from the very first bite of his egg noodles. It absorbs all that wonderful dark soya sauce and the sweetness of wontons, char siu and chicken slices... all for RM5.50 a plate.
The shop is surprisingly not busy, many people came to pack rice and dishes on the way to work. Those who ate in usually ordered the noodles.
Go try it, I am so happy to have found this little gem, right in front of our noses!
The wtm looks good. I've gone by Penang Rd but did not really notice this shop. Thanks for pointing out
@@virtualexplorers6704 very old school shop, no frills kinda dining! The economy rice is also quite nice
@@pishedbloke will check it out one day. Your channel has given me so many options. Dunno which one to go for haha
I am a Penang boy, but SG-resident since early 1980s. I enjoy & luv yr videos. Keep up yr good work! 😊❤
thanks so much, sometimes need some motivation to keep making videos and you are one of them!!! 😊
@@pishedbloke
I enjoy yr well-made videos. Nothing v fancy, but very enjoyable viewing, in the pace & mood that you render them. Captures not only the food, but the mood of the place, the mood of non-touristy Penang. And u hv a luvly family, particularly yr pretty cute daughter u usually eat with. I luv the way u hv brought her up in caring for her younger bro, holding her bro’s hand to ensure he is safe, v mature responsible girl.
@@kopiboy7675 thanks so much, hope you will come and enjoy Penang food again soon! 🥰
One of my favourite wanton mee stall during my younger days back in the 80's.

OMG. I'm so hungry watching this...!!
Time for a holiday in Penang!!! Come up to our wonderful island! Nice property channel BTW... subbed! :)
Wah! Not many people visited this shop and less crowded. I like it. Why? You don't have to worry finding seat and do enjoy eat the noodle slowly, enjoy the meal. Yr Daughter really a good eater, meaning, she had good appetite to eat. Never been to Penang but by you showing some places, it's like been transported there virtually 😂. Thanks. Sedapppp
Thank you so much... you should come and visit... I mostly focus on the food, but there are other things to enjoy here than just the food!
@@pishedbloke sure. If I go to Penang, I will look for you. Bring along my friend also. Food haven in Penang. Still, there is other things to do also while JLN JLN cari Makan.
Lovely man......from SG, will surely have two large WTM.
Hahaha that is a lot! But this is really nice. I brought my mom to eat and now she asks me to bring her if I go!
I can only imagine how good it must be
Next time in Penang must try... hehehe
🤤
My mom went to this kopitiam yesterday. There is an economy rice stall there too. She bought an entire fish head curry for only RM25! And it was delicious! Limited qty everyday
That's cheap
Passed by this shop many times and always wanted to try the wan tan mee and economy rice but parking is always has been an issue for me. Will try out next time. Nice video anyway, keep it up!
Must try lah... you can always find parking at the multi-storey carpark of Chowrasta Market. You need to turn into the lorong where the Ais Tingkap stall is.
Good introduction.
😂😂 thanks... 😅
Looks Authentic 😊
can try if you are in the area... nice noodles
Its called Mee Pok. We believe you as you are the Wan Than Mee expert
In Penang they call the mee pok as "chor" wan than mee, or "thick" noodles.
The wantan seller is not only quiet he is grumpy. Beverages in Chinese kopitiams are among the worst because they overcharge and stint on ingredients. No one can make a tasty beverage, hot or cold like the mamak or Malay restaurants. They do not stint on the milk, sugar or powder.
I guess he is an old guy selling his noodles I don't expect much in terms of customer service from hawkers. For me as long as the food is good, I am happy. :)
@@pishedbloke Yup. Oftentimes you will patronize a particular seller only because of the food, because there is nothing else.
Whistling seller when he preparing the noodle. Usually come with motorbike
He speaks Cantonese but he can also speak Hokkien. Nice quiet guy. :)
Sometimes have to try out these kind of shops in penang. The unassuming, almost empty/no crowd, barely noticeable. Just because we hardly see people go there doesn't mean it's any less good than the places with crowd. I can say this about a nasi kandar joint just a stone's throw from nasi kandar deens maju in gurdwara road. I tried the nasi kandar there and it was delicious. Personally I can say it's even better than deens maju. People hardly noticed the place because deens maju is just around the corner.
Yes totally agree with you bro. Some of these humble shops deserve more credit! Let's try to bring these "unknown" stalls more to the front and center!
@@pishedbloke true. That's one of the main reasons why I make video of the less famous places in penang besides the already famous ones. 😁. The famous ones pun sedap juga but the quiet places needed exposure too.
@@WanderingMunchers have you ever encountered some business owners who actually don't want more exposure? I usually don't really talk to the hawkers unless they seem OK with it. Sometimes they talk to me first, some are so busy they don't even know we are there.
@@pishedbloke no I've never encountered one before. Most were excited just to see me filming them preparing food or just taking video of the place. Of course some of the staff were shy when I filmed them but that's normal, some just prefer not to be filmed for obvious reasons. Some even asked me which TV station I'm from 🤣😂
@@pishedbloke by the way, have you seen the video by penang foodie with the uncle from jit seng roasted duck rice in carnavorn street? Uncle is quite hao lian but I find it quite entertaining 😁.
🤤🤤🤤🤤
😁😁 Must try
Is this wantan mee in grab or food panda ?
I don't think it is... wanthan mee is usually best eaten straight away. After a few minutes the noodles get too "phong"
very funny line about a harzardous job....luv the videoss but seriously, u may to start thinking abot the weight...
LOL You are right, it is no fun being this heavy to be honest. I may try to address this in a vlog soon. (after durian season!)
why inmsiamost noodlesare soakin dark soysauce cozit taste bettewithligh chilli sauce
different taste, we eat it with pickled green chili or even sambal but not chilli sauce
Don't visit the toilet before eating 😅
Old school "charm" hahahahaha
My wife and I ate at this Wan than Mee September’23 and found it ‘barely acceptable’. Sorry to disagree but we hold wan than Mee sellers to a ‘decent standard’….most hv been disappointments. We lived in SG for 10 years in the 80s and return every year to eat in Penang, KL and SG. Tons of disappointments but here and there, we find real hidden gems. We will eat here in Penang again in September 2024, our scheduled visit, and try this place again…and will post our reaction. Trouble is, wan than Mee was made to a consistently high standard back in the 80s all the way timid-90s. Dunno what happened…maybe the oldies died and the newer generation is cutting corners. Wd tried wsn thanks in Ipoh, Kampar, Bidor…. Almost all disappointments. Could not match some of the really good wan than outlets in SG….hawker food too! Same story with chicken rice.
I think you may find the WTM flavours here in the north very different from Singapore and Johor because it is actually a different dish. The sauce has no ketchup or sambal as per Singapore WTM, and is usually flavoured with lard and soya sauce. I have heard some of my friends from Johor also having the same complaint but it is really like eating laksa... each region has a different recipe and style.
Chill brother😂 enjoy the experience and ambience😁
@@sonnykhoo7236 agreed!!!
Haha... I know the weight hazard bro... Thats why i cut down on my food videos already 😂very hazardous occupation
no joke bro... 5kg in one month! Need to really jaga. 🤣
