10sen wantan a hit following report

BY JOLYNN FRANCIS


Frugal food: Gan dishing out a plate of noodles at his stall in Tanjung Bungah.

GEORGE TOWN: A 66-year-old retiree would never have bothered to look for Gan Seng Lean’s stall selling 10sen wantan in Jalan Lembah Permai despite staying in the area if not for a report in The Star.

“If not for the report, my wife and I would not have known about the wantan mee stall.

“There’s not even a sign indicating its whereabouts,” said the ePaper bundle subscriber, who only wanted to be known as Chan, when interviewed at the stall in Tanjung Bungah yesterday.

Chan said the texture of the noodles was good and distinct.

“We will definitely come back,” he said, adding that although it was cheap, it was good and value for money.

Another first timer Quah Siang Hock, 39, said he had heard of the place by word of mouth a few months back but decided to give it a go after being forwarded the article via a Whatsapp message.

“My children love the deep-fried wantan. The 10sen price is something one cannot find in Penang,” he said, adding that he also lives in the area.

First-timer Dobinder Bains, 63, and his wife Janet from the United Kingdom also stumbled on Gan’s place after reading about it in The Star.

“We prefer noodles over rice. The portions here are good,” he said.

Business has been brisk for the stall since it was featured on Tuesday under the headline “80-year-old seller: My wantan the cheapest in Penang”.

Gan, 80, who has been in the wantan noodle business for more than 50 years said there were definitely more first timers paying a visit to his stall since the article came out.

“I served up my noodles to quite a few new faces today.

“I am expecting more customers when the Tunku Abdul Rahman University College’s new semester starts.

“My wantan mee has been priced at RM2.50 for a small plate and RM3 for a large plate for the last five years.

“The portions have also remained the same,” he said, adding that he would get an average of 30 to 40 customers a day.

Those who wish to sample the noodles can visit his stall-cum-home at 71, Jalan Lembah Permai.

Business opens daily from 9am to 10.30pm.

you all plan to kill him?
too many people go eat, and he will need to work non stop.
with his age and working long hour non stop will kill him.......

it's not cheap enough. We must pressure Unker to sell at 5sens, otherwise Malays all oppressed have to eat expensive Wantan mee.

Boycott Stubborn Unker!!!

On a serios note: 10sen for 1 wantan...WTF...rugi business wei..so much work...wrap, put ingredient, fry. 10 biji RM1 only...how to make money????

looking for 10sen keropok losong. ayuh terengganu!

Minister say every chinese sell expensive stuff, 10sen also expensive

this wantan mee got pork inside it ah? I wanna try it..

Obviously oppressing some master race for not filling them with chicken and selling it at 10 cents!!! Stubborn Chinese trader!!!!

BOYKOTT UNKER WANTAN!!!!
Tomorrow we go infront of temple and mogok, any1 wanna join

Oh wait....mogok bukan budaya kita

this

automatic red flag even if uncle wear singlet and live in shack

Your English reading is fail.

Yes, the first and second one is inconsistent in his age. But it looks like the second article corrected his age.

But the 66 year old retiree is someone else. Read carefully.

would try if visit penang

Wa.... RM 3 and average 30 to 40 customers daily...

Can survive meh....

I think he is doing it to pass time while waiting for his time to come .

Not everyone does it for the greed of money as you can still find nice people who care for the society which is a rare occurrence in big cities beside penang and northern states.

Wanton bagus BUT check out the backdrop, the most dirtiest wanton noodle place i ever seen.

tbh, those stalls and gerai like this even thou not hygienic by our food standard never gave me any health issues

Instead those celaka bistro and upscale mamak give me problem, i found besi inside my food and kena how many food poisoining d

hes operating it at almost no cost but the material and the gas itself
so yes

Inbe4 penang street food ma

the drinks

And then a religious authority will have the uncle arrested by 20 cops for trying to lure people away from the true path using very cheap non-halal food.
Some clever minister will demand that wantans can only be sold if there's a valid AP, and call for a boycott of all Chinese-made wantans with no AP while claiming to be non-racist and being only concerned for the good of all.
More NGOs will clamor for a 7% discount on wantan wrappers as part of their special rights while others will demand that a GLC be established to oversee the production of wantans made with cows raised in condos funded by 1MDB loans.
Finally there'll be incidents involving enraged women armed with steering locks and C4. That poor old uncle!

why ismail no puji this stall?
