What is kwonlow mee? Well, it’s a dry noodles toss in black sauce serve with meat and vegetables. It’s very popular in Malaysia and Singapore. We usually have it for breakfast with char siu or siew yok and comes with a small bowl of prawn dumpling soup. In fact, can be served at lunch and dinner too.

Some vendors in Malaysia also include roast duck. It can also be lighter brown colour or just clear sauce- yellow noodles is visible. Of course, roast duck would taste extra delicious and expensive. Some with shredded chicken as well.

I have change it a little knowing me love to create and explore the various ingredients. I added minced pork instead of char siu or siew yok. I didn’t make the dumpling soup.

I am happy to share it with you as this is my father’s favourite easy meal. He love it so much he can have it for breakfast lunch and dinner. Today, I learned from him how to make it.

As usual, he will say just add this and that with no proper amounts. Sometimes, he just put in a couple of fish balls, fish cake and eat it without char siu or siew yok or minced pork.

My first time making this. It turn out well. Thanks to God for helping me to create this dish. By tasting and adjusting the sauces to make it taste delicious and comfort meal. Let’s cook!!!
