Tuaran Mee (Tuaran Fried Noodle, \u6597\u4e9a\u5170\u9762 in Chinese)<\/a> is the most famous handmade noodle of Sabah and even introduced by celebrity on TV food programme a few times. Personally, I think its strongest “rival”, Tamparuli Mee<\/strong> (Tamparuli Fried Noodle, \u62c5\u6ce2\u7f57\u5229\u7092\u9762 in Chinese) tastes better.<\/p>\n

\"Keng
\nOne of the places you can try Tamparuli Mee is “Kedai Makan Dan Kopi Keng Swee Hing” (or Keng Swee Hing<\/strong> in short) in Tamparuli town.<\/p>\n

The shop address is No. 3, Jalan Bontoi, 89257 Tamparuli, Sabah, Malaysia. The shop opens from 6am to 5pm daily. It has off day every month, so you better phone the owner Mr. Foo (\u7b26\u5148\u751f) at +60 88-782417 to confirm before going.<\/p>\n

Tamparuli Fried Noodle is freshly handmade so the texture is more “springy” and it has stronger egg aroma than Tuaran Mee. Usually it is served with egg roll slices (\u6625\u5377), minced roasted pork (\u53c9\u70e7) and scrambled eggs. It costs RM5 (≈USD1.50) per plate, RM6 (≈USD1.80) if you prefer seafood flavor.<\/p>\n

\"eating
\nJudging from the expression of the hungry ghosts in front of me, you can bet the noodle tastes good.<\/p>\n

\"pig
\nAnother item we ordered at Keng Swee Hing was pig liver soup with salty vege (\u732a\u809d\u54b8\u83dc\u6c64). I like pork liver and I have no problem to finish one big bowl myself. This soup is a must-try to me.<\/p>\n

\"pumpkin<\/p>\n

Their steaming hot pumpkin steam bun (\u91d1\u74dc\u5305 in Chinese) is also nice as breakfast or high tea, due to its sweet pumpkin smell. It has no filling so you can eat it with curry sauce or even apply jam to it like normal bread. Even kids who don’t like bread love it. Each bun costs RM1.20 (≈USD0.40).<\/p>\n

It is located next to the a Chinese school, SJK (C) Chung Hwa Tamparuli (\u62c5\u6ce2\u7f57\u91cc\u4e2d\u534e\u56fd\u6c11\u578b\u534e\u6587\u5b66\u6821) and open from 9:30am to 5pm daily. <\/p>\n

Some says the noodle tastes better if you put tomato sauce on it, because the sauce blends well with the egg aroma of the noodle and its scrambled egg.<\/p>\n
