Tuaran Mee - the famous egg noodles in Tuaran, Sabah. There are 3 versions: Goreng Mee (Fried), Kon Lau Mee (Dry) or Mee Sup (Soup) with various toppings lik...
The Fried tuaran mee is very tasty with nice texture, while the kolo tuaran mee with softer and sweeter. For the ingredients, you can choose sangnyuk or mixed.
The plate of noodles is lightly fried with egg and without excessive usage of soy sauce, rendering a natural yellow colour of the noodles. The noodles are springy, and certain part of the noodles are charred to give it a crisp sensation and added texture. My bowl of Tuaran Mee is topped with delicious pork slices.
Jia Xiang Sheng Rou Mian 家乡生肉面 is a popular spot to savour this local delicacy and they only operate a lone shop at Lintas. However, gone are the days of the bold taste with an aromatic dark soy sauce scent. The taste is more diluted now to almost halves of the previous taste. Luckily, the generous quantity of the soft and tender pork slices and delicious pork balls managed to salvage the taste of the lackluster noodle.
I ought to put 3 spoon of chili into the Chili Pan Mee in order to get the feeling of a slight spiciness. However, the overall pan mee was plain in taste, lacking of aromatic scent. Probably the soy sauce used did not elevate its overall taste. Nevertheless, at least the ingredients were generous, with plentiful of anchovies, minced pork and egg.
Overall, Mee Sup serves well as a comfort food to warm up the stomach. On a personal preference, I would prefer some green leafy vegetables to be added the bowl of noodles.
