Sarawak Kolo Mee Recipe

Written by Chai Ninja on . Posted in Chinese, Kuching Series, Recipes. 10 Comments

I am so excited to be sharing this post with all of you today! As the title states, I am finally sharing my Kolo Mee recipe!! This is the stuff of dreams. I think it is safe to say that most Sarawakians’ abroad crave this dish, miss it to the point that you dream of it. For those of you who live in a country where you can buy decent ready made Kolo Mee, I’m jealous of your good fortune. I happen to live in a city where this is not an option.

Hello everyone! Time to take a break from the travel tales but not from Asia because…its dumpling time ! I am finally back with another recipe which, if you can’t tell, I absolutely LOVE.

I am finally back with another recipe. It took me ages to post this recipe up because I wanted to make sure that I got it RIGHT!

One day, I was at a cafe deciding whether I should order the muffin or the cupcake. While waiting in line and staring at the choices before me, this random thought crept into my head.

[blockquote author=”” link=”” target=”_blank”]”Why do Muffins never look as pretty as Cupcakes? It’s not that hard to make them look pretty right? Or is it….”[/blockquote]

And so I told myself that I would try make muffins look pretty enough to be presented as gift too – just like cupcakes.
