Tuaran Mee

On Sunday, my friend and I drove to Tuaran town to meet another friend and dropped by the town for the famous local fare, Tuaran Mee.

This coffee shop that we went to was at this block of old wooden shoplots which despite being slightly rundown, looks more interesting than rest of the new concrete shoplots around it.

My friend told me that this outlet is supposedly where Tuaran Mee originated from.

As you know, this thin and flat noodle known as Tuaran mee is available throughout the state although to be honest, I’m not sure what is so special about it besides the unique shape of the noodle.

When we reached the place at 11 am, it was quite full and although I was not too enthusiastic about the condition inside the shop, I was keen to find out the taste of the original Tuaran Mee.

My friend commented that she tasted better Tuaran Mee elsewhere. I actually prefer this as the taste is not too strong and much like the Seria ko lo mee which to the unseasoned tongue will taste bland. Besides you know that most things that tasted especially well are usually because they are heavily seasoned with MSG.

So in short, I like this Tuaran Mee.

    really!? that is the original shop? OMG, all the while I’ve been going to the one in Tamparuli which people said is the best and even better than the one in Tuaran. And I agree with it actually :D

    Hannie : Well, original doesn’t mean good and besides, it’s a matter of personal taste I guess. I actually don’t really see what’s the big deal about Tuaran Mee at all although next time you must bring me to the Tamparuli one ok?
