I'm glad that there are more and more places offering scrumptious Sarawakian food. There are already many kopitiam that does Kuching Kolo Mee and most of them are quite good and anthentic. However, we now also have Kampua noodles in Klang Valley, which is good news for Sarawakian foochows. Kampua mee is less well-known variety to people outside Sarawak, but pretty much synonymous with the Foochows, just like Kolok mee is to the Kuchingnites, or Wanton Mee to the Cantonese. It’s only logical that
Situated at Bandar Puteri Puchong, Strawberry cafe is fast gaining popularity not only from Sarawakians, but also people who are curious about Sarawakian food. Let's talk through some of the dishes on offer. Dry Pian Sip (or in Foochow dialect, pronounced as Bien Nuk). It's actually similar to wantans however has more flimsy skin with just straight pork filling. Nothing sophisticated about it, but the seasoning used is the same as kampua. You can request for them to add dark soy sauce, which is actually the way I prefered it. But my mum prefer it without. The taste is quite authentic, however this should be actually be served with a chili sauce rather than cut chili. Small problem, but slightly annoying when it comes to kampua. Here is the plate of authentic looking Kampua noodles with dark soy sauce (the way I like it). The noodles are you can see, are straighter than kolo mee and has a softer and smooth texture. The aromatic pork lard makes this so addictive. I can do without the dry char siew on top though, as there are already some pian sip on the side. Usually in Bintulu, I asked for the chili sauce to be added to the noodles but as I mentioned, they used cut chili. Oh well. At least it's spicy. Another option is to have this with mee pok (flatter noodles, a bit like Hakka mee), depending on availability of course.
So fellow foochow people, now you know where you can go for your Kampua fix!
