Sarawak Tomato Kuay Teow

Today is the starting of Sarawak month for Malaysian Food Fest (MFF) hosted by Sharon :) I've not visited the place so I'm really clueless on what's the popular or common food eaten there. So one way is to research on website! :) A few which I found and planning to try is the tomato kuey teow and kampua mee which is a common street food if am not wrong. This Sarawak tomato kuay teow tasted quite similar to our local Hor Fun at the Tze Char Stall, except that this is more sweet and with taste of tomato sauce. Overall it is a very hearty dish except that hubby complain that it is too sweet for his liking ;D








Recipe modified from Kimba's Kitchen
Ingredient
  • 900gm fresh kuay teow (broad version)
  • 1.5tbsp kicap manis (sweet soy sauce)

  • 120gm carrots, thinly sliced
  • 100gm baby choy sum

I have never eaten this when I went to Sarawak last time.
With ketchup in the gravy, it does sound different.
