Kam Pua Noodle (干盘面)

Sarawakians, will know what is Kam Pua Noodle (干盘面). This is a popular and yet simple dish back home in Sarawak, especially in Sibu and Sarikei. I wrote a post on Sarikei few months ago, and included kam pua noodle inside there :) It's found in most of the coffee shop or hawker centre or food court in Sarawak, and available in almost every coffee shop in Sibu & Sarikei.

The kam pua noodle looks similar to wantan noodle in West Malaysia, but the taste is totally different :) There's two different version of kam pua noodle. One can opt for kam pua with or without soya sauce ~ I still prefer the kam pua noodle with soya sauce. The noodle is served together with few slices of char siew(pork) on top and a bowl of soup (normally it's just the plain ajinomoto soup :D ), and chilli sauce.

This is the kam pua noodle with soya sauce. I ate this in one of the food court in Kuching. Taste nice and up to standard, but the one available in my hometown (Sarikei) is even better :P

I tasted the above kam pua without soya sauce in another coffee shop in Bintulu. They didn't put the red colouring flavour to the char siew pork meat as well :)

So far, I have never see this dish outside Sarawak. Can only get to eat it when I go back home to Sarawak. This is one of the dish that I will not miss out when I balik kampung (go back home).

There will be more upcoming posts on popular food/dishes in Sarawak...
