Sibu kampua mee and mixed soup

sibu kampua mee

I’m a huge fan of kampua mee and we can’t exactly get the authentic ones in KL so I make it a point to eat this whenever I come back to Sibu. It’s actually just noodles tossed with lard and sprinkled with spring onions, shallots and fried onions but it tastes delicious!

I like mine with soy sauce and chilli – you can also opt for an either or if you don’t want the plain noodles. The trick to good kampua mee is in the lard. A lot of places switched to vegetable oil instead. THAT IS NOT KAMPUA MEE! A proper bowl of kampua mee is made with lard.

There are also endless customization options – you can have it in soup, with sliced char siew, with pien nuk (dumplings – kinda like wanton) or with a side order. My favorite used to be a side order of pork liver but today I went for the Full Monty (except for tofu coz I don’t like tofu!!!).

sibu mixed soup pork

It not only has pork liver, but intestines, meat and various innards from this non-halal animal.

My favorite place closed down but this one is pretty good too – the soup was peppery and yes, the kampua is made with lard. I make it a point to check. smirk

    There is kampua in KL! Quite a few places has it! I know one in Subang operated by a Sibu husband and wife team. Not sure if it’s still open though, but it can’t beat Sibu’s kampua. πŸ™‚

    Michelle Chin: Alas! That might be a bit difficult. I’ve tried cooking it before but it just doesn’t come out right.
    You need the correct noodles to do it and I imagine that noodle would be hard to obtain in the UK since it’s meant to be made fresh. πŸ™‚
    Your next trip back? πŸ™‚
    qwerty: Nope, but that place has good…er, the name suddenly escapes me, it’s that flat rounded rectangle thing that’s fried. πŸ™‚

  3. HB, it looked so delish. I could make it from ingredient brought in Chinatown San Francisco but not lard maybe fried pork fats still make it taste good. Oh well got have it.

  4. Hi Sixth Seal,
    I enjoy dropping once in a while, especially when I’m stressed. Somehow your blog never fails to lift my otherwise dampened spirit. You are psychotic but in a good way, which says a lot by Sibu standards! Lol.. But hey, your English is immaculate and I do envy your writing style. keep it up! πŸ™‚

  5. Erica: It is delicious! You can get the kampua noodles from Chinatown? I’ve had some over here specially dried and shipped over but it doesn’t taste the same as the fresh noodles. πŸ™

  11. There is a stall in Sitiawan that sells kampua mee as well, some served dry, tossed with soy sauce but there’s the famous Loh Mee version with a sticky, starchy broth.
    Not sure if lard is used or not though, but I would not say no to lard.

  15. It was customary for men then to present their new brides with a purse that had an illustration of a love story embroidered on it. In Africa, wizards used to carry unadorned bags in which they would keep a powder that was used to interact with the supernaturals.

  18. All I can think about is smokes. I don’t wish to take a drag and if perhaps anyone offered a draw here and now, I will decline. I feel I’m in a fairly crappy mental state and have had trouble sleeping yet I do know I have to turn out to be resilient. The electric cigarettes may help me out in the end.

  19. You should consider writing a similar list of blogs for people who like this. I discovered your blog one day while googling, however I am not really into the blog thing. I don’t think it’s because I don’t fancy blogs, but probably because I’m a little slow to them.

  20. how bouts we blog moderators remove tripe comments? There are several media web-sites I look at that allow comments; the comments are so infested with trolls and nonsense, I don’t fuss analyzing the comments. Please be sure to eliminate the nonsense. Not anyone will miss it; simultaneously slice out the tangents individuals start.

  25. I have not had a puff in 6 years. The ugliest aspect regarding stopping smoking most likely the very first couple of weeks. Fortunetly for me that stuff didn’t last long and things improved day-to-day due to the smokeless cigarettes. You should not give in. Just simply keep going with it and you will be able to live a healthier life once and for all.

  26. In addition to jewelry, is another great option for a gift for a woman his own pocket. Replica Knockoff Handbags are always the best friend of women, because they get carried away and tend to have always a good company wherever you go. Today there are many pockets so many choices. So, if you have a custom bag as a gift to offer an endless selection, as expected.
