Yoke Yew Food Court — Restaurant in Malacca

Sun 28 Jan 2024

Our newphew from KL fetched his daughter, my wife and l here for lunch. We all ordered from an established stall here, the traditional old-school Melaka-style char siew wan tan noodles. The dry noodles cooked al dente were tossed in a sauce mix with a dollop of the famed Melakan unsweeten chilli sauce. Both the char siew and wan tan dumpling tasted decent. For drinks, we all opted for the tradition pa po herbal drinks which is great and not easily a available elsewhere. There are other stalls offering popular dishes like char siew and curry rice, minced pork noodles and popular stall local snacks. The venue is airy but rather run down and dim. The service was friendly and efficient and prices wallet-friendly. We usual ta-pau or pack the noodles from the stall for takeaway as parking is difficult here. It's the first time we ate the freshly made noodles at the venue....

First off, I don't understand how someone can say Nice Wantan mee at here. Let me tell you what I feel. I am no Gordan Ramsay, but this is a disgrace of all wantan mee. The noodles are just poured with oil and little sauce. Not stirred. By the time the noodles reach the customer, the sauce can barely mixed with the noodles. The sauce? I mean what sauce? There is no taste at all besides oil. The smoked meat must be one of the worst smoked meat in entire history. I feel sorry for the pig which died for this. The wantan soup. Soup was decent. Flavoured well and good. But the wantan, my gosh. Its like you just put minced meat into the wantan skin without seasoning it. I can't even taste pepper much less salt? Ordering drinks is somewhat a humour. You order and you can see the waitress trying to look for the owner of the drinks....

5 stars purely for the white source wantan mee Melaka style. The food court mostly frequented by local. Sorry, we only tarpau. Noodle taste A1. CharSiew juicy. The evening Bukit China Wantan Mee nearby is of no...
