So Good Kolo Mee in Taman Cheras Pertama woos us with ‘kolo mee’, ‘kueh chap’ and ‘laksa’ that will banish any Sarawakian’s homesickness

So Good Kolo Mee, nestled in Taman Cheras Pertama, has captured the hearts of Sarawakians with its familiar flavors of kolo mee, kueh chap, and laksa. The restaurant, originally a food delivery service, has transitioned to a physical location, bringing the essence of Kuching's culinary delights to Kuala Lumpur. Their Original Kolo Mee (RM8) is a standout, featuring springy egg noodles, minced pork, crispy lardons, pork balls, fish cakes, and red char siu, all tossed in lard for an authentic taste.

The dish is elevated by pickled chillies and fried shallots, which add a zesty and sweet dimension to the dish. The homemade 'kueh chap' (RM12) is a fragrant delight, braised in a 23-herb broth passed down through four generations, making it a must-try for any fan of this dish. The Laksa Sarawak Special (RM14), priced higher due to its homemade paste and lighter flavor profile, includes a generous serving of prawns, chicken, omelette, and bean sprouts, offering a refreshing alternative to the heavier traditional versions.

Conveniently, they also offer delivery services via platforms like Shopee Food, and their elevated location makes them easily accessible from traffic lights. Services are available from 9am to 9pm, with a note that the restaurant is closed on Wednesdays.
