Dear ignorant glowers of SIBKL,In an effort to improve your general knowledge, I have compiled this exclusive rare post on how to identify authentic miri Kon Lo Mee!!Most people in miri speak mandarin and hokkien and almost none speak cantonese. =Xoops. out of topic... Without further ado, I shall begin!1. Authentic Konlo mee is usually packed in a square shaped manner as shown below.
2. It is usually skillfully wrapped with a layer of newspaper to preserve heat within!
3. Upon opening, authentic Miri tapau konlo mee comes wrapped with a layer of plastic!
4. This is generally how an authentic miri kon lo mee looks like =) The packaging is perfect so you can eat without needing to use a plate! Most people eat with disposable chopsticks which you break the middle ... If you know what I mean =p
5. Kon Lo mee's have "chung" sprinkled on it =) and comes with char siew.
6. Sarawak kon lo mee char siew is pale and does not have any strong flavours! Those you find in kl is usually the wantan mee type of char siew. Eeeww! =p
7. Wantan is usually available with konlo mee, but only on request =) In this case it cost rm0.50 to add 4 pieces of wantan to the kon lo mee! Omgosh!
8. This set costs rm 3.50 with wantan. But in some places, you can get it for less than rm3!
9. The noodles are extra springy and the texture is out of the world!
10. The flavour is not too sweet nor salty! It does come with dark sauce as well if you want, but most people prefer eating this, this way. =) Another authentic type of mee is mee pok. Which has the same ingredients but it is broader in shape!
Remember to eat kon lo mee when you get to sarawak!~beep~!
