@@JetLagWarriors... if the time is right, I wouldn't mind taking you around. 😄 Kolo mee is originally non-halal but over time we come up with the halal versions. I prefer kolo mee with chicken instead of the beef. 😄 The noodles we usually use in Sarawak is freshly handmade. This is one of the things that Sarawakian miss when they're outside of Sarawak - freshly made noodles. Another noodles you should also try is the tomato noodles. That corned beef fried rice... my mum used to make them for me to bring to school for lunch back in the early 80s. No salted fish but I had fried egg with it. Yummier! "Gula apong" is palm sugar but it's the "apong" palm trees and sold in fluid form as compared to the gula Melaka. Kuih lapis has many flavours. What you have there is just a plate of teaser. 😆
as a sarawakian living outside of sarawak for few years, i miss all of this food, not only how it taste, but the atmosphere when i enjoyed those foods with friends and families
You missed the "kuah" for nasi ayam. I prefer a bit of kuah onto the rice first, then dip the ayam to your sambal and eat together in one spoonful of all. And also you missed the kuah for the mee kolok. Most sarawakian will put some kuah to the mee kolok because the kuah actually will enhance the flavour of everything.... Your tastebud will dance happily all day long after tasting it. Laksa sarawak - eat while it's still hot. The longer you leave it, the taste will gradually go bland as the noodle will absorb all the water which makes the noodles tasteless.
Sarawak laksa has no fish base. Its broth is from prawn and chicken boiled together. Its almost like prawn noodle or curry. The spice they use is different but its my fav laksa anyway
@@abangabdulqadir3200 Local people are the best guide. Especially in East Malaysia, where there are more hidden places, they are far away from each other and the locals are much more familiar with the places.
Best time to Visit Sabah s between 1st May to 31st May because of the month long Harvest Festival going on. Sarawak celebrates the same festival on 1st June.
Gosh...you guys are making me salivate for kolok mee right now!! I am not from Sarawak but my son goes to college there n im telling u Sarawakians are the among THE friendliest people you will ever meet...!!
Mee kolok (Kolo Mee) comes in 2 versions: the traditional (Chinese) one is topped with char siew (barbequed pork slices) and the halal one topped with beef slices and soup on the side. Mee kolok is different from other noodles such as wantan mee
Enjoy your Sarawakian food. I love Sarawak. Always there for the World Rain Forrest Music Festival. It was not on last year due to the Pandemic 😭. Yes you will enjoy Sarawak.
Sarawak state is so huge but I am 100% sure if you visit Sarawak everyone there will be more than happy to host you guys in every cities there. Every cities there is unique.
We grew up eating egg corn beef sandwiches and fried rice corn beef. It is somehow part of our food in Sarawak. Oh ya... and later we have cornbeef roti canai. And for your info our belacan is the freshest and best you could ever get in Malaysia. The smell is of fresh prawns and not stinky. That is why the sambal belacan you eat taste different.
usual the name make us know which one halal or not.. usually went their put kolok mee it is non halal.. and kolok mee it is the halal version..weird huh! hahaha
A non halal is more to kampua with red meat/pork.... Kolok mostly popular in kuching and kampua in sibu(most of the shop/kedai mkn in sibu has kampua stand)
Mee kolok is usually the halal version sold by the malays (chicken or beef), while kolo mee is the non halal version sold by the Chinese with char siew added to it and separated into 2 version: red and white.
@@aakiemakiem I dont think kolok and kampua are the same thing. I grew up in Sibu and while kampua and kolok look pretty similar they not actually the same dish
Excellent review on all the Sarawakian food and desserts. Good job, Steve and Ivana. Visit Sabah and Sarawak when the pandemic has ceased. Bring along your parents and siblings too. Thanks to Ticer Zuely and Siew Mui for the yummilicious feast.
@@Ladyzuely It was absolutely wonderful n very kind of u to treat Steve n Ivana with delicious Sarawakian food. Bless u all who have shared kindness with each other, unconditionally.
Thank you so much for your honest reviews. Hi five Steve, I totally agree with you that Sarawak Laksa is the champion! lol... Btw, for the layer cakes, each of them have different kind of flavors and yes it’s buttery! I really hope that both of you can make it to Sarawak at anytime you back to Malaysia coz there are lots of Sarawak foods and other adventures are waiting. This review really make my day. Thank you to both of generous ladies that willing to send both of you those foods as introductory about Sarawak. Woot woot... Ooohaaaa to all proud Sarawakians!
MY FAVOURITE DESERT - SARAWAK LAYER CAKE..MALAYSIA - FOOD HEAVEN & U 2 - LUCKY TO TRY SARAWAK FOOD ( FOC)....!! MUST B YUMMY....!! LOVE YOUR VLOGS...!!
oh yah.. you should try buah Dabai in Sarawak.. rendam dalam air panas or jemur di bawah matahari sampai lembut...keluarkan my version eat buah dabai i use kicap manis put it in mangkok and mix it with little sugar, put more if you like sweet 😂(me) you can eat it with rice too but some people use kicap masin, but i prefer kicap manis
Actually she eat it wrongly, cause it should be pour with a soup, not eating it without soup...this is the first time i see someone eat mee kolok without a soup..the one that come with soup should be eat with soup..but i can see that you like to eat it without soup. But there's a fried ver of mee kolok, you should try that
@@aliey9330 actually some people like to eat it dry without d soup (not fried), some like it half wet n some like it banjir...me as a Sarawakian, i eat it according to my mood....hahahahha
My favorite spot for Sarawak Cuisine in Kuala Lumpur is DAPUR SARAWAK located at Pekeliling near KPJ Tawakal Specialist Hospital. You can eat Mee kolok, Laksa Sarawak, Nasi Aruk Dabai, Bihun Belacan, Special 3 layer Tea (better than any boba tea), even you can have Nasi Aruk Ikan Terubuk Masin too! Before MCO, they have a lunch buffet with a variety of Sarawakian meals such as Ayam Pansuh (Chicken cooked inside a bamboo), Umai (fish salad), etc.. they are all delicious..
Wow....I miss all d food from my home town Kuching.. it has been so long haven't eat Nasi goreng corn Beef.. they are many more yummy delicacies like manuk pansuh chicken Cook in d Bamboo..
@@josephwjm All Borneo territories are not originally part of our Malaysia territory anytime our proposed garbage Malaysia formation or Malaysia Agreement 1963 are thrown away forever so that we will return to our original territory of Malaya now Malay Peninsula. 🚮🗑️👎🇲🇾😭
Finally I am so happy to see the both of u tasting sarawak dishes especially the mee kolok..👏👏 hopefully to see u both here in sarawak..lots more to try the food here..👍👍
The noodles in the mee kolok you can actually find it in peninsular Malaysia in almost every Chinese restaurant (Chinese breakfast restaurant), just look for Wanton Mee, they are the same made with egg and flour. That sambal definitely is sambal belacan! You will find variety of sambal belacan across Malaysia, and they taste heavenly good! The first time I had kek lapis it was when I had a Sarawakian roommate at Uni time, he brought it from Sarawak and I fell for it right after I put it in my mouth, it was savoury!
Hi Steve & Ivana! Glad to see both of u love Sarawak food, actually there's a lots of local Sarawak food u guys shud try such as Umai, Ayam Pansuh, Bubur Pedas, Linut and many more that u both shud experience urself in Sarawak.😉😘..Hope 1 day u both can discover Sarawak to enjoy the food, nature, culture and Sarawak people itself.😘😘😘
1 .1st time I heard/know nasi goreng Corn Beef. 2. When I eat Mee Kolok, I will sip the soup while the Mee still in my mouth. 3. Laksa Sarawak is very unique in flavour.
I hope you guys can go to sabah and sarawak, there are so many food to try other than what you already tried. Such as ambuyat dish, umai, mee sapi, Chai bihun, ayam pansoh, kueh chap and so many other foods.
My sarawak resepi 🥰awesome...beehoon belacan also traditional food from sarawak....many food from sarawak like kampua mee,sayur midin belacan,ikan terubok masin,nasi goreng dabai,ayam pansuh,
not far where I lived, there's a Sarawakian foodstalls(non-halal) located at NZX foodcourt in Lembah Subang, Selangor just a walking distance from Lembah Subang LRT station where they sell a lot of Sarawak signature dishes like Kolo mee merah, Nuba laya, ayam pansuh, wild boar pansuh, Sarawak laksa, kueh chap & many more. 😀👍
My best friend is from Sarwak Malaysia. Layered cake she always brought for me whenever she visited Sarwak her state. I miss her alot but we are still connected. BTW I am muslim and she is Christian but we are best friends
wait till you taste the Bishop's Gate's mee kolok!! That Mexican Hat pancake is called "Penyaram" here. And if you come to Sarawak, please come before the 1st of June for the Harvest Festival. The festival falls on the 1st. You will not regret it.
We have two kind of mee kolok, fried mee kolok and the other one come with soup. I like fried mee kolok not with soup. But my favorite still laksa Sarawak.
And it came in 3 different flavour, the normal one (which is a mixture of vege oil or "pork lard", salt, msg and shallots and such), soy sauce (which is the normal one plus soy sauce) and char siew (the normal one plus char siew sauce)
Penjaram / Penyaram is best accompanied with Kopi O... like Nescafe Classic Kopi Kedah. You can dip in honey if too bland. But I like the taste as it is.
The last time went to Malaysia eating all these tasty food and sweet I gained like 10 pound you just can't stop eating and trying these lucky both of you even though it's total lock down you still able to create great content i miss malysia
Hi..next time when both of u visit Sarawak,you should to try UMAI,AYAM PANSUH(chicken cooked in bamboo),and so many dishes you never seen.Tq 4 represent our culture.Gd luck
Gosh, missing Sarawak food. Gula apong is made from the Nipah palm tree; whereas gula Melaka is from the coconut palm. If I were to describe the koko mee texture... it is springy and 'taut'? Sarawak laksa soup's base is a strong chicken and prawn broth + the complex spice mixture. The sambal probably has belacan, chillies and lime which gives it the fresh acidic taste, maybe dried prawns for the saltiness. Anyway if you do go to Sarawak, you must try the local fiddlehead called midin. it's not slimey, but crunchy. P/s: salivating while typing this.
Kenak Sik try manok pansoh...Midin tumis belacan.. .. Omelet oyster..laksa Sarawak best for breakfast..hope both of u come to visit Sabah Sarawak soon include Brunei..🇲🇾
I like banjir also...near my house in Shah alam there's one Sarawak's restaurant. All the dishes are soooo good. Our fav mee kolok, black pepper beef, Manok panggang, laksa Sarawak..argh literally all lah...🤭..normally we go for big bowl mee kolok.
Never go wrong with Sarawak cuisine. Each of it very uniquely Sarawak. Even I'm fron northern with strong sense of Kandaq, always craving Sarawak foods every now n then. Still remember my first slurp of Laksa Sarawak nearby Masjid Bandaraya Kuching many years ago,and i hooked eversince. There are many others you can try out notably Salted Terubok fish, Umai, Mee Belacan etc...duhh now I'm drooling 🤤
D Sarawakian layered cake I've eaten r slightly different, thin layered like kek lapis betawi, but very colorful n usually r designed beautifully. Check on UTube.
My nxt trip back.....i will have kolo mee and laksa for one breakfast. But only at my regular stores. Not every store is good. And i avoid the most famous stores.
Woohoo! Sarawak dishes. My home state foods. BTW, there are 2 type of Mee Kolok, Malay style(the brownish noodle, the one in the video) and Chinese style(the noodle is pinkish red colour). Also if you're lucky enough, look for Bubur Pedas(Spices Porridge). Usually they are sold during Ramadan at Ramadan bazaar.
Check out Salted restaurant at Mutiara Damansara. Authentic sarawakian Cafe. Sarawakian owned. My cousin sofya owns the place. Hope it's open for take aways.
Penyeram is my favorite dessert... it's need very high experienced skill to make it look flowery shape and a bit thick in the middle. everytime I went to Sarawak i never miss to look for penyeram and vegetarian version of mee kolok..💖💖👍👍🤩
If I'm not mistaken, the sauce mixes in kolo mee has shallot oil, garlic oil. Salt and maybe some MSG for flavour. The noodles are similar to wantan noodles (I thought you guys had this before?) It's a type of egg noodle. And you made the right choice not to banjir. The soup will take away all the goodness of the shallot and garlic oil. Sarawak Laksa, as mentioned yesterday that punch, that differentiating flavour is nutmeg. Close to peanut? Haha
Sarawak Laksa’s broth does nt have fish... we cook it with prawn n chicken broth and Laksa paste. The ingredients in the paste might have traces of peanuts.
Nothing beats mee kolok/Kolo mee. Here in Sarawak it costs as cheap as RM3.50 for a basic bowl. You can still probably find someone still selling at RM3. You also normally will find kolo mee that is served with minced meat (pork, chicken, beef). Then, there are 3 versions in terms of "colors". Black (with added soy sauce), Red (some sort of sauce/oil), and the basic White. I just learned from this video that u have yet to find a nasi goreng corn beef there. Speaking of corn beef, many shops here in Sarawak also have ROTI CANAI CORN BEEF on their menu. Sarawak Laksa's broth is a mixture of shrimp and chicken flavours. Never fish. I like my penyaram to have slightly burnt edges LOL. Adds some crispiness especially when u eat it straight out of the pan. And yes, like ivana, I too can have kolo mee for bfast everyday!
Mee kolo is mainly popular in Kuching division. Ivana, if you are able to go to Sibu/Sarikei, you will fell in love with mee kampua (same as mee kolo but diff in taste and prep). Going north of Sarawak for example Miri, you will again be tasting another version which is mee kering (dry noodles). Also, diff in taste and prep. Originally, I'm from Sibu and moved to Miri but it took me awhile to like mee kering. Sarawakian loves eating noodles. You will find very diverse and tasty food in Sarawak.
Corned beef is popular in Sarawak probably because they were brought in as early as the British colonization days, so it became somewhat a common thing among the locals. Although later on most corned beef were imported from China. But nowadays we can find some produced in Brunei (guaranteed halal).
Previous video's Sarawak Laksa is the legit version, the hawker version. Sarawakian Chinese style. This is more homemade with beehun, the mee kolok too with its vegetable and beef slices, hawker version is plain. Looks like its all homemade Sarawakian food. Somebody went through a lot of trouble to make all this Sarawak food for you. Sarawakian Malay style. No peanut, no fish in Sarawak Laksa, prawn paste. Sarawak imports beef from Australia and New Zealand and they love cornbeef with bread, with white rice and Nasi Goreng, the hawker version do not have any fish in it. The one Sarawakian rice with tenggiri fish is called Nasi Aruk.
If you want the real taste of handmade (not factory/machine), go for premium one as the flavour bomb will change everything. To have the best of it, better come during "raya puasa" since at that time most sarawakian house will prepare it (mostly) by themself. Pricewise, premium will be much higher than factory made since it needs even more time and care.
What makes it expensive is they made with Golden Churn butter as the main ingredient.. And you know la how much is golden churn in the market nowadays.. 😅
Mee Jawa with satay (breakfast) Seafood at Top Spot Centre (a must) Mee pok. Sunny Hill ice cream with bread. Grilled chicken wing Sayur midin Nasi goreng dabai Ayam pansuh Tuak...sarawak rice wine at dayak's kampung
yes, corn beef is American. After the issues of halal corn beef previously then this corn beef nasi goreng booming. there are 2 ways to eat mee kolok..first, you can it dry as you do and secondly, you put their accompany sup in the mee
The sambal has belacan in it, you also suppose to eat the Laksa Sarawak with sambal as well... I am from Sarawak and had been working and lived many years in BC (Vancouver and Surrey). Totally missing Whistler and Kuching, Sarawak now watching you guys eating one of my fav food in the entire world Mee Kolok. Vancouver and Toronto is so similar with Kuching in term of racial diversity , we have more than 26 group of ethnicities there, and due to that the majority of us speak English than our local dialect. The visit time I visited Canada during my teens and that was Quebec, totally did not like it coz everything was in French. Then in 2008 I was moving to Vancouver for work and stayed they till 2015. Dude, the first day I stepped down to the city, I freaking know that I am falling in love with VC, like totally feel like home. Super friendly people you have there, made lot of friends. Last winter I was planning to go back to BC for a break and snowboarding, unfortunately the pandemic happened, I have to reschedule for another day, hopefully soon. I really hope you can come to Sarawak one day, do come during one of the largest music festival in the world, World Rainforest Festival, it’s like Coachella but cooler coz it was held at the bottom of Mount Santubong. Totally insane massive party.
The homemade noodles for the kolo mee can only be found in Sarawak. The kolo mee you ate is more of the Malay version. When you come to Sarawak you should try the Chinese version of kolo mee. There's NO peanut in the paste of the laksa. The main ingredient for the penyiaram is Gula Apong which is comes from the apong palm. Sarawak is known for it's Kek Lapis or layered cake. There's one Sarawak shop in KL called Mira Cake House...you can try other varieties of layered cakes. The main ingredients in our layered cake consist of condensed milk, kaya, horlicks(a malt beverage) plus the usual ingredients like butter, eggs etc. Gald you liked the Sarawakian dishes. If you like teh tarik then you are going to fall in love with the Teh Si Peng special..which is a 3-layered tea.
