I was pleasantly surprised to see that they have Sarawak Kolo Mee on the menu however, I felt like having something with a bit of gravy and ended up ordering the Cantonese Fried Kway Teow (Flat noodles) - RM6/USD1.90, which turn out to be quite good, I enjoyed drinking up the gravy!
The rest of them ordered other stuff and of course one of them had to be Sarawak Kolo Mee (RM6/USD1.90). Read more about Vkeong's Sarawak Food experience HERE. I had a bite of it and it was delicious. The homemade egg noodles were cooked al dente and the minced pork and spring onions made it even tastier. The slices of BBQ Pork was average (of course, it had quite a high standard to meet!)
They also had the Seafood Kolo Mee (RM7/USD2.20) which is something we have not come across elsewhere. Generous amount of prawns, slices of fish fillet and sotong (cuttlefish) this time round, definitely a seafood lover must order if you fancy something different from the conventional Kolo Mee.
For snacks, we ordered a plate of Yu Tiao (Chinese dough sticks/crullers) which came drizzled with mayonnaise (RM5/USD1.60)
They were more like mini dough sticks unlike the usual ones but nevertheless, they were absolutely finger licking good. The smaller size meant a more crispy bite and was a real delight. So much so, we ordered a second plate!
I must apologise, I had underestimated Old Flavour Kopitiam thinking it was just another run-of-the-mill kopitiam. I would definitely ask Alicia to take me here again when I'm visiting!

ReplyDeleteOk, sick still can eat hey? Hahaha...drink up the gravy some more? *rofl*
ReplyDeleteSo, since you have tried kolo mee, please tell me, in your opinion, is kwan lor mee better than kolo mee?
Kok keeps saying kolo mee best but I think kwan lor mee is a lot nicer.
my storyteller, many many years ago, johor bahru was a place where food was just average, but now there are so so many gorgeous and delicious food and your posts talks and rocks!
ReplyDeleteWhy why why we can't get any Kolo Mee in KL?? T_T
ReplyDeleteThe Hor Fun (Kway teow drenched with egg gravy) looks VERY GOOD! Now I am unwell and how I wish I could eat something like that!
ReplyDeleteI have not got a chance to try kolo mee before :(
ReplyDeleteThe Cantonese Fried Hor Fun looks yummy!! Isn't it Wat Tan Hor??
ReplyDeleteJason, we should start a petition to bring this seafood kolo mee to KL... it looks so gooooood. *slurps*
