Meow Mee – Pink & White Sarawak Kolo Mee and Sarawak Laksa Present in Geylang East Ave 1!

Not gonna lie, the very first thing that caught our consideration about Meow Mee was their lovable cat mascot however what received us over was their crimson and white variations of conventional Sarawak kolo mee. Not solely that, in addition they promote Sarawak laksa as effectively, all made in keeping with refined recipes from the cooks of Kuching who’ve aided within the delivery of Meow Mee, named after Kuching’s moniker as the town of cats. 

Helmed by Kuching-born hawkers Eric and Chun Hao, the stall is simply a pair months previous however has already garnered fairly the fanbase, particularly amongst patrons who hail from Malaysia. With a background in, and fervour for, cooking, Chun Hao dedicates his time to firing up bowls of kolo mee and Sarawak laksa whereas Eric manages the advertising facet of the enterprise. 

Chun Hao had spent a while again in Kuching performing some R&D for his or her recipes after Eric first approached him with the thought of beginning up Meow Mee. Whereas the rempah of the laksa is supplier-bought, it was additional refined by Chun Hao to offer it that genuine Sarawak laksa flavour. 

Aside from crimson and white Kolo Mee ($5.50/$6.50) and Sarawak Laksa ($7 for bee hoon, $8 for kolo mee), in addition they promote Kolo Kuey Teow ($5.50/$6.50) and Kolo Bee Hoon ($5.50/6.50) in each crimson and white variations. 

I began off with the traditional white Kolo Mee, which undoubtedly proved that the best issues might be the tastiest. The springy noods had been totally tossed in a mix of lard and shallot oil, making this probably the most aromatic bowls of kolo mee I’ve had. I cherished how there was a little bit of chew from the al dente noodles. 

The minced pork bits had been seasoned with soybean paste and soya sauce, however not an excessive amount of to the purpose the place it overwhelmed the pure porkiness of the meat. The char siew slices, then again, had been a tad too powerful for my liking. 

The intense crimson hue of the crimson Kolo Mee tapped on the sweetness of char siew drippings and would undoubtedly enchantment extra to those that get pleasure from that blend of candy and savoury notes, enhanced by the aroma of shallots and lard oil. 

To me, Sarawak Laksa has at all times been extra of an acquired style and would take some getting used to for people who sometimes lean extra in direction of our conventionally creamier laksa. Meow Mee’s rendition undoubtedly got here full of a superb quantity of warmth that lingered for fairly some time. 

The prawns had been pretty giant and crunchy and there have been additionally shredded hen and beansprouts added to the combo. Mixing within the chilli on the facet, plus a squeeze of the calamansi, gave the entire bowl a extra full-bodied flavour so make certain to not skip this important step! 

As for the accompanying condiments that you just’re free to assist your self to, the hae bee hiam chilli paste was very aromatic and introduced a nice warmth. Sadly, the pork lard items had been fairly tender and will come off as too salty for some. 

All in all, I’d say that it’s value dropping by Meow Mee. Give each their crimson and white kolo mee a shot! I do know I undoubtedly would come by once more for these!
