Breakfast in Kuching with GorPis (Gorent Pisang/ fried Banana) & Kolok Mee
Tried Fried Banana before? Other than Popiah, I love Keng Chio Kueh. If you hate eating banana, you can try Fried Banana or Keng Chio Kueh. I think we should call this one a Banana Puff.

Kolok Mee
Kolok Mee = Kuching, NO Kolok Mee NO Kuching. There’s two variant of this noodle. One is handmade and the other is machine made! Hahahaha Which ever version you love, Kuching is the place to look for such awesome noodle. Remind me of Japanese Ramen though!
Happy Breakfasting and today is just another day in paradise!
For Netster to take so frequent popiah is not a good sign He bowel system is constipated and need the Popiah vegetables to flash the clogged.
Happy ……….. pooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
LOL Yeah right :p

Jia Xiang Sarawak Kuching Kolo Mee – A Different Kind of Mee
In recent years, someone from sarawak set up the jia xiang sarawak kuching kolo mee chain of small eateries selling this favorite dish. To make it even more authentic, the noodles and ingredients are air-flown directly from sarawak daily.
Well, I haven’t actually tasted the kolo mee in sarawak before, so I really have no benchmark to compare this with. But the kolo mee at jia xiang tastes really good, if a little expensive!
Due to the air-flown ingredients, a bowl of noodles is priced at S$8, inclusive of a bowl of soup with prawn and wanton. To be perfectly honest, I must say that this is too expensive. But hey, at least the food is good.
(Update: good news. There IS a cheaper version of the noodles at $4 without the prawn and wanton. I say go for that!) Singapore Wanton Noodles costs only S$2.50 to S$3.50
The noodles are firm, springy and light, and don’t feel oily, which is a plus point. The minced meat is savory and delicious. But most of all, I love the sweet and tender char siew, which is perfect in taste and texture. It also looks healthier than your regular char siew with the fatty bits and the charred bits, although I know some people would prefer the “unhealthy” version.
In sarawak, kolo mee is normally served with cut chili. But at jia xiang, a metal container of sambal chili gravy is offered at every table instead, perhaps to cater to local taste. The sambal chili is GOOD! I would mix two or three spoonfuls of it into my noodles.
The bowl of soup is a good pairing with the dry noodle dish. In it, you would find a couple of fresh prawns and some wanton. The wanton is rather skimpy with very little meat filling. But for me, the main focus is still the noodle dish itself.
The food is good, and I really like the fact that the whole dish isn’t oily like your average dry-tossed noodle dish. Highly recommended with a lot of the sambal chili!
