Noodles With Egg 粉干鸡蛋

I've always loved thick rice vermicelli noodles with egg and red wine broth. However, it's quite difficult to find it sold at the local hawker stalls in Kuching. And if they do sell, a good version is hard to come by. Even the one at Soon Fatt Cafe (supposedly famed for its Foochow delicacies) at Petanak failed to meet my expectations.

And so my friend PH recommended to me this stall at Rock City, Eastmoore, 2 1/2 mile Rock Road. The stall is located inside the coffee shop, next to the kueh chap stall.

Noodles with Egg 

Though the portion was small, this bowl of noodles looked promising. The broth was thick and did taste of red rice wine. However, I could do with more soup. This one merely filled two-thirds of the bowl. Other ingredients included pork slices, 2 tiny slices of liver, 1 miserable fish ball, and some vegetables. Overall, it was one of the better versions, but certainly not the cheapest nor the heartiest nor the best ones I've had.

"How is it?" PH asked me ....

"Hmn .... I think I've had better ones in Miri," I replied, and my mind transported me to Pelita Commercial Centre where QQ Roasted Duck was and there was a stall there that sold some kicka$$ 糟菜粉干 and 粉干鸡蛋 . Sigh. Those good old days ....
