Mee Jawa II

 Mee Jawa is a very popular dish in Sarawak but very few restaurants in Miri make real nice ones. The best Mee Jawa used to be near Miri port and ever since it closed more than 10 years ago, there is no one yet can match it until now. Sweet potatoes are very expensive in Miri (ranging from RM6-8 per kg) and I think this is the reason why all restaurants are replacing it with cornstarch instead. It will not taste the same without sweet potatoes as thickener no matter how well it is cooked.

I had plenty of beef from the recent qurban, so decided to make my own Mee Jawa. This time, I decided to make a simpler version than the first one I made here before. Also, I was in a mood to make my own yellow noodles. The outcome was dellllicioussss..... at least my own crave is satisfied!

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION

Teringin nak makan Mee Jawa yang sedap & yang kat restoren tu takda yang menepati citarasa ku yang mahukan rasa Mee Jawa sebenar dengan kuah pekat keledek. Keledek kat Miri ni mahal sangat (RM6-8 se kg) sampai kat restoren semua nya hanya menggunakan tepung jagung sebagai pemekat. Lagi satu yang Along tak berapa suka, masakan mereka tu manis macam makan pengat.

Bila dah teringin sangat nak makan, apa lagi... buat sendiri kan bagus, dapat makan puas2 ikut selera sendiri. Siap buat mee sendiri lagi.... Hasil nya memang berbaloi.... hubby & anak2 makan bertambah2.
