Belacan bee hoon is a type of Sarawakian noodle dish that comes from an amalgamation of Chinese and Malay cultures. The medium to thick rice vermicelli noodle is served in a thick gravy made from belacan (fermented shrimp), shallots, tamarind paste, and gula Apong, a type of palm brown sugar, served with shredded cucumber, beansprouts, cuttlefish and century egg, topped off with a sweetened chilli sauce.

The belacan bihun here had quite a strong flavour in its gravy, and is seen in more typical Malay Sarawakian food. The gravy had a strong belacan and tamarind flavour, which is a more pronounced sweet and sour. The noodles used were medium thick. The chilli used to top it off was a little sweeter, but added a nice dimension to the dish. It is one of the better ones you can find, so definitely many reasons to visit Mom’s Laksa kopitiam when you have the chance. Fun fact: century egg is known as telur padi in Sarawak.
