Wantan Mee @ Taman Berjaya

This is one of the nicer places for wantan mee. Located in Taman Berjaya in the makeshift market area, it's a busy place from morning till night.

In the morning a busy and thriving market operates there. At night, a pasar malam like atmosphere can be felt almost every night albeit a mini version one.

This is the wantan mee shop.

Outside it is a char-kway-teow stall. Take care not to park your car too near the stall. The last time we did that, our car was coated with a layer of the char-kway-teow oil. Guess what we had to do when we got home? Yup! Wash the car and it was already past 10 p.m.

The mee is a little hard if you eat it there. I usually prefer it to be packed cos by the time the packet reaches home, it would have soaked in the gravy and is soft enough. Throw in some cili padi and you have a really nice wantan mee; with a punch some more.

The wantan is soft and does not have the floury taste . One of the better ones that one can find at night in Alor Setar.

As for the char-kway-teow, Son said it's nicer than the one in Timuran (available at night) and the corner shop opposite to PMC (morning). Oh yes, the three-layered-tea (caramel-evaporated milk-tea) served in this shop is also one of the nicer ones around town. We've been trying it in most of the shops that offer it.
