Mees~

The famous Sarawak Kolo Mee

Sarawak Wan Tan Mee

Prawn Mee or Har Mee

Alcoholic Mee or Se Chiu Mien (mandarin)

Mee Po

Alright...What is the difference between all those "Mees"? As you can see...kolo mee can be said as the mother of all the other mees above. It is Sarawak proudest and famous mee because of the mee species which only available in Sarawak, though certain places in the West Malaysia also do have that kind of mee. First impression of the mee is a maggi mee (instant noodles). However, its actually different from the instant noodles. Its more soft and tender and it taste almost like "instant noodles + wan tan mee".

Then below it is Sarawak wan tan mee...its the kolo mee plus some wan tan. Oh ya..they don't have kon lou (soy sauce) wan tan mee. If you wan to experience the West Malaysia wan tan mee there then you should tell your own recipe to the shop. I usually does this. I will order wan tan mee and then ask the taukeh (shop owner) that i wan the wan tan in a separate bowl with soup and the mee add some thick soy sauce. Whenever my friends and me order this kind of wan tan mee, many of the surrounding people will look at us one of a kind as though they saw us eating something weird.

Next is Sarawak Har mee (prawn mee). Its really Prawn mee. Kolo mee with three prawns...really not worth it. By adding 3 prawns on top of kolo mee the price of the mee increses like about RM1 which I could have bought a lot of prawns at the market. The next is the alcoholic mee which I think can be found in many places.

Mee po. It is different from kolo mee as the mee is "fatter" and it taste a bit like the pan mee. Usually, when we order mee po we can choose to have pork meat or chicken meat. Usually a RM3.50 mee po can be eaten by 1-2 people because its a lot. Really a lot! But, the downside is that usually they will just give a few meats and a lot of mee which causes you to eat until your mouth saliva dried up.
