After watching 8TV’s Ho Chiak program on Sarawak’s food…
Then also I saw Baby Sumo’s posted her beautiful art-piece of Kuching’s Keo Jiap Mee on her Facebook page.
So, I decided to google for the recipe to try cooking it myself.
I only able to eat Sarawak Tomato Kuey Teow whenever I go back to my in-law’s house in Sarikei. Not often though =p
Prepared all the needed ingredient over the weekend. Unfortunately I bought the wrong kuey teow which I myself did not realize until I open the pack and loosen the kuey teow. Dumb Dumb Mel! It requires the wide type of kuey teow which we often use to cook ‘Wat Tan Hor’. But I bought the narrow ones..which is more appropriate to use for soup hor fun. *sigh*
What to do? Just go ahead and see what it become lor….
Fail max!!! After frying the kuey teow in the pan of hot oil…it became so lumpy 😦
After the frying is done..I place it in a plate.
Before proceeding with the gravy…
*Hubby came home*….
Mel : I bought the wrong kuey teow lor.
Alex : What do you mean wrong kuey teow? Is there any difference?
Mel : Of course got difference la….This is meant for soup ‘hor fun’. And it became 1 kao 1 kao (lumpy) after frying it. *sobs
Alex : Har? That one on the plate kar? I thought tonite you made something additional for dinner. I thought its duno what Chinese pancake (flour-cake).
Mel : *Deng lor….pancake?????
Can’t help but we both end up laughing out loud. LOL!
Anyway…I did complete the cooking also lar….Let’s see..
This is the Tomato Kuey Teow that I had in Sarawak.
Ta Dah…presenting you my 1st attempt on Sarawak Tomato Kuey Teow. The lumpy kuey teow does look horrible hoh. Nvm…I will learn from failure.
When asked HB what percentage of similarity will you give? He gave me a 70%. Hmmm…this teacher quite strict oso lor….
