Sarawak Kolo Mee @ TJ Delight, Tabuan Jaya

I love the kolomee here.  The noodles are not soggy and it does not has the flour taste. which show that the owner of the the stall actually change the water that use to cook the noodles constantly.  My friend told me that this is a branch stall from Siang Siang Cafe in 3rd mile.  The kolo mee they operated in Siang Siang Cafe is famous for delicious kolo mee.

Suckling Piglet @ TJ Anchor House Seafood, TJ Delight

Last weekend, as usual I went "lepak" at my Uncle's Pork Satay Stall @ TJ Delight.  The owner seafood stall next to my uncle's stall is BBQ-ing the piglet.  Then i went to snap the picture of the whole piglet that has not been chopped into pieces.

BBQ Piglet

 As I have to go out that night so I went home after. When I almost reach home my mom called me said they have ordered BBQ piglet ask me to turn back to eat.  I ask why didn't she tell me earlier that they going to order then she ask me back why I never tell her earlier that I am leaving. She said she will keep few pieces for me and it was really few pieces.  I did not get to take picture of the serving.  The bbq is serve with sweet sauce.

The skin of the pig is so crispy and the meat is so juicy.

Belacan Beehoon @ Stall No. 4, Song Kheng Hai Hawker Centre, Jalan Padungan

I guess I can only find Belacan Bee Hoon in Kuching.  Belacan Bee Hoon soup main ingredient are belacan.  Belacan is shrimp paste or shrimp sauce.  The belacan bee hoon is serve with rice vermicelli, cuttle fish, chili paste and sweet sauce. Some seller are innovative,  they serve their belacan bee hoon with centurry egg.

This stall belacan bee hoon is from the traditional taste.  The owner of the stall now is the second generation.  They started of at a hawker stall by the roadside at Jalan Ban Hock Road.  When the City Council started to clear the roadside hawker stall they move the hawker and put them at Song Kheng Hai Hawker Centre.  I have been having this stall belacan bee hoon ever since i am very very young. It is one of my favorites.
