sarawak kolomi: 7/25/10

During the 2010 Chinese New Year, I went to this coffee shop at Batu Kawa, Kuching. Batu Kawa is a small town set beside Sarawak River, where a lot of people like to go there fishing or prawning at the weekend.

Batu Kawa is famous with their "Batu Kawa Meatball", which, I believe tastes better than the one from Johor. That why the Kolomi here also served with meatball and something that I should call it "meat cube". Look at the picture on the left, you see what I mean?

There are a few keys in making a bowl of good Kolomi. The most crucial one would be the cooking time for the noodles. The noodles must not overcooked, otherwise it will not give you just the right taste.

The Kolomi sold here is out of tradition, as they put stuff other than what we use to see like barbecue and soy sauce meat. May be caused by the difficulty in finding materials during Chinese New Year, so they had change their menu for that.

Usually, many people like Kolomi with milk coffee or black coffee (Kopi-o), so do I. Kolomi and coffee, I have no doubt to say that, they are just match to each other very well indeed what we so call perfection. So, only the shop which are capable to provide good and aromatic coffee can gain their customer back and back again.

What you can see at the picture on the right are empty bowls, black coffee and hot Milo (chocolate drinks), but I am sure apart from that, you can imagine the "satisfaction" which people obtained after the meal, and that are what exactly behind the scene.
