Jia Xiang Sarawak Kuching Kolo Mee

last semester, my prof prac mate was telling me how she misses her kolo mee back home then i went 'huh?'

wat is a kolo mee?

ah huh...now i know becos it has just reached singapore shores and recently opened its branch at upper thomson beside the very famous ampang yong tau foo stall!!!!
So me and wj decided to give it try as that faithful day when we were strolling down chinatown we saw the very same Jia Xiang Sarawak Kuching Kolo Mee! (what a mouthful!)

anyway...
the recommended bowl was a tad too expensive ($3.90) for just mince meat and char siew and a few wantons. But kudos to the sauce!!! tasted really yummy!!!
As what the stall boasted at the front door panels: our noodles are firmer, curlier and tastier!! and they did mention something about their wanton skins being very soft and silky!!! (dunno much about that cos me and wj shared a bowl of soup wantons, it was quite disappointing as the size of meat in wanton was like a pebble.)

According to the Kuchingnites...their noodles are quickly cooked in boiling water, drained then 'dry-tossed' (hence the name 'kolo') in a bowl containing a concoction of soy sauce, char siew oil and fried garlic oil for the unique taste!! although wj did mention that there was a tinge of vinegar inside that secret recipe sauce.

they also served sambal chilli on the side. i tried it with the noodles but i really dun recommend it. firstly the noodles are very tasty on its own cos the sauce is really good and secondly, plureeze the sambal is yucky.


yup yup yup...the people behind the scene really tries to bring back a nostalgic atmosphere to eating as you can see here the wares that they use!!! old traditional kopi cup and saucer! and kolo mee in chicken bowl!!! and something which was quite new here was wj's luohanguo drink!!! haha i dunno much about that being traditional though but i must say that it tasted good!

so is JiaXiang Sarawak Kuching Kolo Mee worth a second visit? YES definitely because of that unique taste and QQ feeling to the noodles! but make sure u bring extra cash as it's not a cheap meal!
