Ah Piaw is on many supper lists in JB, not just for their delicious springy wantan mee, but also because they’re open 24 hours.
Alongside the usual dark soy sauce-tossed noodles, you can also opt for the “white” variety. This is a lighter sauce that highlights the taste of the noodles with an optional spicy kick if you prefer. This style of wantan mee is more popular in the southern region, so be sure to try it if you’ve never had it before.
