There are times that a simple dish is more than enough to satisfy one's craving. And no, we are talking about a bowl of piping-hot Maggi curry (even though that sounds delicious too) but rather one of the most popular noodle dishes from Sarawak known as kolo or kolok mee. Made from egg noodles that are thinner in their size and has a springy texture, a bowl of kolo mee usually comes with essential add-ons like minced pork, char siew slices and chopped spring onions. Kolo mee is typically served dry but you can find soup versions in some places. So, if you happen to fancy them for lunch or dinner, here are 6 Noodle Places To Order Sarawak Kolo Mee in Klang Valley.
