Today dinner, I visit SRK Borneo noodle house which recently open a branch near my home. This restaurant specializes in Sarawak dishes and they even have their own instant noodles which are sold at RM4.50 per pack.
Currently, they are having a promotion for the opening of this branch by selling these 7 dishes for only RM6.50 per dish. I order for myself the Kolo mee, it also comes with a bowl of soup contain 2 meatballs.
kolo mee is a Sarawak dish, it is dry noodles tossed in a savoury pork and shallot mixture, topped off with fragrant fried onions originated.
The difference between Kolok Mee and Wantan Mee, which is popular in the Peninsular Malaysia, is that Kolo Mee is not drenched in dark soy sauce and water is not added to the noodles when served. Mee kolo comes in two common flavours: plain or seasoned with red sauce from pork char siew marination. Mee kolo is usually served with soup and soy sauce, to give the dish a darker appearance and enhance its saltiness. Mee kolo noodles are springier than wantan noodles and they come with a generous filling of minced meat. The mee kolo is topped with spring onion and fried onion, giving the dish a sweet crunchiness. This dish is often also served with slices of char siew, which are placed on top of the noodles.
