#Sarawak Kolo Mee

[buffetlicious]

Yeah, mum love noodles so we are back at Sarawak Kolo Mee located in Koufu (口福) Food Court at Sun Plaza. No prize for guessing which bowl belongs to mum. She had the Crispy Chicken Kolo Mee (香酥鸡排哥罗面) with no added chilli sauce. The sliced pieces of breaded deep-fried chicken cutlet covered the curly noodles at the bottom with those sinfully yummy fried pork lard at the side. Dry style noodles dish in Singapore is always paired with a bowl of soup.

For my Mushroom Chicken Feet Noodle (香菇鸡脚面), I loaded it with fried pork lard and a scoop of the chilli paste. A pair of fried and then braised chicken feet, braised mushrooms and mince pork over the springy kolo mee. Some people might balk at eating chicken legs, also known as phoenix claws (凤爪) if that sound better to you. But if prepared and cooked properly, they are such a delicacy. Very commonly eaten in China and Asian countries, even dim sum places around the world offered it on the menu.

DEWAN RAKYAT SQUABBLE OVER ‘FOURTH R’

By Anjushree Ratna Kumar of Reuters 

DEWAN RAKYAT: During today’s earlier session of the Dewan Rakyat, the Malaysian government and opposition argued over one of the core facets of the nation's identity, the 3Rs: race, religion, and royalty. Surprisingly, a controversial fourth 'R' emerged: Rice. 

The debating commenced with an acknowledgment of the enduring significance of race, religion, and royalty in shaping Malaysia's political landscape. The 3R are deeply entrenched in the country's history, and have been the focal points of numerous debates and policies over the decades. 

As a staple of Malaysian cuisine, Rice reflects the very core of Malaysia’s cultural identity. In this context, the fourth 'R' represents the culinary diversity of Malaysia. However, there was heavy debate between the opposition and government over the specificity of “Rice”, with even the Yang di-Pertua Dewan Rakyat himself stating: “Why are you talking about rice, when so much of our cuisine is noodles? What if someone says Sarawak’s Kolo Mee is terrible?” 

Moreover, it was also brought up by several YBs on placing rice on the same pedestal of national values such as Race, Religion and Royalty. This question caused yet another uproar today in the Dewan Rakyat, wherein Sarawak was infuriated. After some time, order was restored and the House moved onto their next agenda.

20 Sarawak Dishes You Need To Try Before You Die

Who says Penang is the only place to have good food? ;)

By Samantha Khor

1. Sarawak laksa

One of celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain's Top 10 dishes, Sarawak laksa consists of a vermicelli rice noodles (bihun) cooked in shrimp-based broth made from sambal belacan, sour tamarind, garlic, galangal, lemongrass and thickened with coconut milk. The dish is served with a general amount of bean sprouts (taugeh), prawns, omelette strips, and shredded chicken.

2. Kolo mee or mee kolok

A simple noodle dish that is available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, kolo mee consists of yellow egg noodles tossed in a light sauce before it is served with slices of barbecued pork (char siew), chicken cutlets, or minced meat. Non-halal versions might also contain lard. The dish usually comes in two flavours - plain or seasoned with red sauce. You could also request for it to be seasoned with soy sauce or - in certain places - black vinegar.

3. Midin, a crispy wild jungle fern which can be served as kerabu or stir-fried

Midin is typically stir-fried with garlic and/or belacan with chilli. Anchovies and salted fish may also be added into the dish, which can be found in most coffee shops that sell nasi campur.

4. Kueh chap

Kueh chap are wide, flat rice noodles cooked in a herby broth consisting of pork meat, skin, internal organs as well as deep-fried tau pok and hard-boiled egg quarters/halves.

5. Ayam pansuh or manok pansoh

Manok pansoh, an Iban dish, is unique in the sense that its ingredients are cooked in a bamboo. Cut chicken pieces, lemongrass, and tapioca leaves are stuffed into bamboo before it is cooked over an open fire. This cooking method seals in the flavour, which results in juicy and tender chicken with gravy perfumed by lemongrass and bamboo.

6. Manok kacangma

Manok kacangma is a Chinese dish consisting of chicken cooked with a kacangma-based broth. The herb, which also known as motherwort, is believed to be able to ease the effects of menstruation in women. Rice wine may also be added for a more delicate taste.

9. Dabai, a seasonal fruit with black skin and yellow flesh

Dabai is a hard fruit, but soak it in warm salt water for 10 to 15 minutes and you'll get a soft, date-like snack. Fun fact - the seed can be eaten too!

10. Belacan bihun

Belacan bihun consists of rice vermicelli served in a sweet shrimp-based (belacan) broth topped with julienned cucumber, cuttlefish slices, and century egg quarters/halves. You can also have it with a spritz of lime and chilli sauce.

11. Fried oyster pancake or 'or chien'

Made to be shared, fried oyster pancake is a thin, crispy pancake with oysters concentrated in the centre. It is usually eaten with light soy sauce mixed with pepper.

12. Kompia

A Foochow delicacy, kompia refers to a bun - either soft or crispy - baked in a round stone oven and typically stuffed with meat cooked in a special gravy.

13. Sarawak layer cake or kek lapis Sarawak

Layer cakes may be commonplace for most of us, but Sarawak layer cake's multi-coloured, multi-flavoured variety deserves a category of its own!

14. Mee sapi

Image via Instagram @senmirei

Although the dish typically uses noodles similar to kolok mee, mee sapi is different in the sense that it is served with a beef-based broth. Topped with generous amounts of beansprouts and beef slices, you can opt to have the broth added straight to your noodles or in a separate bowl.

Image via Instagram @karmenwong92

15. Sio bee, Kuching's version of siu mai

Image via Instagram @itell

The difference between siu mai and sio bee is that siu mai contains pork and shrimps while sio bee is 100% stuffed with pork.

16. Umai

A Melanau delicacy, umai is made with thin slivers of fresh fish (usually iced instead of frozen) combined with thinly-sliced onions, chilli, salt, and juice from calamansi lime or assam fruit. It is usually served with roasted sago pearls - sago starch mixed with coconut milk, which are then rolled into balls and cooked - instead of rice. The dish is sometimes prepared with cooked prawns.

17. Mani (money) chai bihun or *bihun cangkuk manis*

Image via Instagram @karmenwong92

Mani chai bihun, of Hakka origin, consists of bihun stir-fried with eggs, prawns, chicken pieces, and the sweet mani chai herb.

18. Kampua mee

Image via Instagram @rachrich85

Although it looks similar to kolo mee, kampua mee is actually meant to be drier than kolo mee. Typically served with slices of barbecued pork and a bowl of soup, the noodles can either be served plain or tossed in soy sauce or chilli sauce.

19. Bubur pedas

Image via Instagram @hascelly

A traditional Malay dish originating from Indonesia, bubur pedas is a popular dish during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. The dish consists of porridge cooked in spices such as turmeric, lemongrass, galangal, chillies, ginger, coconut and shallots, topped with fried anchovies, fried onions, and peanuts.

20. Nasik aruk

Though it is classified as fried rice, this traditional Sarawakian Malay dish is not fried with oil. The ingredients consist of garlic, onion, and anchovies fried with cooked rice. The rice is fried until it achieves a smokey or slightly-burned taste.

It is just the two of us eating so mum is not cooking tonight. I was tasked to bring home dinner so I went back to the Sarawak Kolo Mee stall at Koufu (口福) Food Court. Picked the same Crispy Chicken Kolo Mee (香酥鸡排哥罗面) for mum and myself. Loaded it with plenty of crispy pork lard and also a scoop of chilli paste for my own bowl. The springy noodles are a plus point as is the crispy yet still juicy chicken cutlet.

Hiya. Someone said you're looking for recs. Penang: Get the hop on hop off ticket at georgetown. Get off at each stop towards tanjung bungah. The butterfly park and the toy museum are worth a gander. Georgetown is full of murals and street art. Any char kuay teow is great. Try the prawn noodles too. try duck noodles. Aki pancake @ supertanker. Almond juice and rojak along gurney drive is great too.

KL the parks are great. Food is good but don't try petaling street food unless you have a stomach of steel. It's not exactly clean. Klcc is a tourist trap. But the highest class mamak is murni discovery. Go order an 'i love u' ahahhahaha. The aquarium is so not worth it. If you go ss15 you must try fatbaby ice cream. Then durian. Please try durian. Our orchestra is great. Give it a shot if they're playing while you're here.

Kuching sarawak: food to try in kuching: kolo mee, seafood (damn cheap), manicai, fern, laksa, sago worms (subject to availability), satay. Try the hot springs at annah rais. And visit the border for batik at serikin.

If you. Truly. Honestly. Love. Nature. MULU CAVES fuck i gave myself a panic attack looking at all the stars. It's expensive as heck but the trails are gorgeous and the caves are inspiring. 

Thank you so much - both for the food recs and the honest commentary about what’s worth it and what to expect. Wish I could have you as my tour guide! 

Mate I am HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS ABOUT THIS “i love u” thing; didn’t google it cause I didn’t want to spoil the surprise but let me tell you if I get the chance to order this while i’m there... 

Durian is on the list; haven’t had a fresh one in years! Didn’t even know there was hot springs so will defs look that up. 

YOUR DESCRIPTION OF MULU CAVES SOUNDS AWESOME UGH I CAN’T FIT INTO THIS TRIP SO OH WELP LOOKS LIKE I’LL HAVE TO MAKE A SECOND TRIP ANOTHER TIME

Ho Chak Restaurant

Occasionally, on Sundays, we go out for a family breakfast, and on this particular Sunday we decided to eat somewhere new rather than our usual breakfast dim sum, so we opted to eat at Ho Chak Restaurant

Location: Menglait area, where all the big shot restaurants like FunShabu-Shi and all others are

Setting: Typical Chinese kopitiam, though it's really kinda small and cramped

Viewing through the menu, I was a little disappointed that the food choices were so limited. This was supposed to be one of KK's (or Sarawak?) famous kopitiam branching out a franchise here in Brunei. Shouldn't it meet a little of our expectations at least?

Fried mixed noodles, which is almost everyone's choice

Kolo mee with char siu

My lor mee

As usual, I order something different than everyone else, and again, I was a little disappointed with the taste. It had a constant sour taste to it and the texture of both noodle and meat wasn't all that flattering. I didn't get food poisoning and neither did my princess (coz we shared a bit), so I think they've been using a little too much vinegar in the sauce.

Sadly I couldn't enjoy my food at all. Edible, but not satisfactory.
