Tomato Mee

Tomato noodles is a street food that is popular in Kuching, Sarawak. It resembles kong fu chow, or Cantonese-style noodles with its thick egg gravy, except that it features a tangy sweet tomato gravy derived from bottled ketchup.

The noodle usually used for this dish is Sarawak mee kolok, which is similar to the egg noodles used for wanton mee, but it is also common for patrons to ask for it to be served with sautéed kuay teow, or flat rice noodles and crispy fried mee hoon, or rice vermicelli

Although there are many shops in Sarawak serving halal versions of this dish, aficionados will insist that char siu, barbecued pork, has to be one of the accompaniments on the dish. Prawns, sliced fish cake, and choy sum or mustard greens are additional must-haves over the noodles, and some stalls would also include squid, tomatoes, bean sprout and firm tofu as part of the dish.
