Sarawak never fails to get a big uptick for its untouched nature and culture yet the food hasn’t gained much traction as other states in the country. If this is what mulling over your mind, their signature dish, Kolo Mee is eager to prove you wrong. Literally translated as “dry mixed noodles” in Chinese, it’s a common comfort food, particularly in Kuching. If the name doesn’t give much of a magnetic appeal, the flavours and wallet-friendly price tag certainly does. Flash-boiled springy noodles are lashed with dark soy sauce and liberally laden with minced pork, slivers of char siew, chicken and scatterings of shallots. Seemingly simple yet expect flying colours when it taps onto your taste buds. Kolo mee joints below are quite making the trend in Penang for noodle enthusiasts. Happy slurping!

Lucky Eatery Food Corner
This massive and impressive food court is rather a new kid on the block yet has taken the local crowd by storm with a myriad of mouth-watering food and parking ease. Among the most sought-after stall is the kolo mee, which previously operated at Sungai Ara and finally returned to action after a long hiatus. The flash-boiled pale yellow noodles and heap of meats make up a clean hit of flavours. For a dose of heat, do include their chopped chillies.

Sajo Cafe
Just a short stroll away from Kek Lok Si, this humble restaurant has been churning out local and Western delights that are impeccably good and reasonable. Among the best sellers here is their kolo mee, where the original version has everything to have pork lovers weak at their knees. Generously portioned, the springy bed of noodles is topped with minced pork and char siew and each mouthful lends a nice pork oil fragrance. If you need additional flavours, lace the noodles with their red sauce and add their braised eggs for extra oomph.

Jelutong Morning Market
Among the best spots to cherish Penang as a gastronomy hub are markets which are overwhelmingly scattered with food options, just like Jelutong morning market. Aside from the wet and dry market, what draw one’s attention at first are the lively food courts and strings of stalls that have you drooling at the dot. Noodle lovers are widely singing praises of the kolo mee. Chewy mount of noodles is jazzed up with minced pork, slices of char siew, smatterings of egg, fried onions and spring onions. The symmetry of texture and flavour is absolute spot on and for RM3 a plate, it’s a complete steal.

Double 33 Kopitiam
A stone’s throw away from Queensbay Mall, one can easily identify this full-of-life eatery which has gained most of its fame from Taiwanese and Thai food. Another scoring point here which is rather underrated is the kolo mee. What you’ll find in the hearty bowl is slivers of char siew, a dollop of minced pork, blanched greens and sprinkle of spring onions on a nest of slurp-worthy noodles.
