GEORGE TOWN: The late wantan mee seller who won Penangites’ hearts for charging just 10 sen for each dumpling kept on telling his wife to prepare dumplings for customers – even when he was too weak to get out of bed.

Gan Seng Lean, who passed away in September last year, would make the gesture of wrapping dumplings to his wife from his bed.
