Jia Xiang Sarawak Kuching Kolo Mee (Icon Village)

Spotted this hidden stall in the main corridor of Icon Village and we decided to give it a shot since there was a Burpple Beyond promotion here. The staff recommended getting the premium kolo mee set, which was the signature item on their menu. The set came with a bowl of kolo mee, topped with char siew, minced pork and veggies. It was served together with a bowl of wanton soup containing prawns and abalone slices.

The noodles were really springy, which is what we often look out for in a bowl of kolo mee. However, we thought that there was too little gravy and as a result, the noodles were a little tasteless and dry. This also resulted in the noodles clumping together after a while. While the stall provides chilli separately, we thought the kolo mee would have gone better with sambal belachan, which would have provided an extra kick of flavour to the dish. Thankfully, the other ingredients were ok.

The set cost $9 although you may wish to use a Burpple Beyond voucher, for which you would have to order an additional drink to enjoy a one-for-one promotion. Do support the stall if you are in the area and you are looking for a quick bite, as footfall in Icon Village is really poor during this period and many of the stalls have closed down.

Wasn’t informed beforehand that one of the items had to be gold jia xiang mee. But I was craving kolo mee so it still tasted good!

Head over for lunch at Icon Village and enjoy a bowl of Sarawak style kolo mee, served with fried wanton, minced meat and char siew. Switch things up and order the Fish Fillet Mee ($7.50), which comes with two crunchy fish fillets fried to perfection over a bowl of QQ kolo mee! End off the meal with a refreshing drink. Now, that's what you call a satisfying lunch!

$6.90 a decent portion of springy ‘maggi’ mee with crispy crunchy fried fish fillet, tender inside.
Careful it’s hot.
$1.70 a cup of Teh O.
Brisk crowd, consistent noodles & lots of regulars.

($6.90) Ingredients wise the char siew, prawn and wantons are nothing out of the world. The slippery wanton skin here would give competitors a run for their money if only the wanton meat kept up with it. Unfortunately the meat did not taste fresh or any great. The kolo mee, tossed in lard and oil, is very satisfying till it cools and gets slightly dry.

Actually really yummy, don’t get the fish though not a lot of fish

Noodles DOESNT have the WOW factor like the Vivo city branch
