The Curry Chicken Wan Tan Mee is a combination of two very different dishes, namely Wan Tan Mee and Spicy Curry Chicken.
For those looking for Malay cuisine, they can sink their teeth into the Nasi Rendang Chicken with the rice cooked to perfection with pandan leaves.
The dish comes with a chicken thigh and drumstick as well as peanuts, anchovies, half an egg and a few slices of cucumbers to boot.
For those who are looking to have something light instead, they can opt for Roti Bakar Cheese which has melted cheese baked on a slice of bread.

Just bite into the crispy bread and feel the cheese oozing out of it. It is definitely a must-have for cheese lovers.
To wash down all these meals, one can go for the outlet’s signature drink, the Ice White Coffee.
According to the owner of the Penang-based food outlet, Billy Boey, his white coffee is from a special supplier in Ipoh.
“It is 100% white coffee and there is no mixture of other coffee beans,” said Boey.
The outlet is also a famous spot for students to come and do their assignments as it also provides free WiFi and power points for their laptops.
Owing to its reasonable prices, delectable dishes and cosy environment, there are plenty of reasons for one to come back to the place.
