Muslim friendly or Halal Kolo Mee – A local favorite that can be enjoyed by all in Kuching
Kolo Mee or Mi Kolok is a dish that needs no further explanation as it is simply a local Kuching favorite. While this bowl of springy egg noodles is originally created by the Chinese community in Sarawak, over the years it has been favored by people of all races and religion. More and more restaurants in Kuching are preparing Kolo Mee with Halal and Muslim-friendly ingredients. Thus, if you’re looking for Muslim friendly options, rest easy because I have compiled the 16 Must Try Muslim Friendly & Halal Kolo Mee in Kuching. If you prefer Kampua Mee or Pok Mee, don’t worry as I will also be including these into the list.
1. Mangkuk Merah
Mangkuk Merah is one of the most well-known Muslim Friendly Kolo Mee spots in Kuching. The Kolo Mee here is served in obligatory red bowls, hence the name Mangkuk Merah. My favorite part of the Kolo Mee here is the spicy sambal condiment that comes with it. It gives such a fiery and tasty kick that pairs well with the Kolo Mee. The price is affordable and the portions of the Kolo Mee are generous. If you have a big appetite like me, you can also request for extra noodles or extra meat (Subject to extra charges).
