Claypot Noodle

CLAYPOT NOODLE is a popular dish in many parts of the world. It is often served as a main course or as a side dish. The dish can be made with a variety of ingredients, but the most common ingredients are rice noodles, seafood, meat, and vegetables.

The distinctive flavour of claypot noodle is due to the way it is cooked. The noodles are cooked in a claypot over a high heat. This creates a crispy crust on the bottom of the noodles and infuses them with the flavour of the claypot.

Claypot noodle is a hearty and flavourful dish that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a versatile dish that can be customised to the individual’s taste. If you are looking for a delicious and unique dish to try while in Kuching City, I recommend Lu Fok Noodle House located at Tabuan Tranquility.

Foochow Kampua

FOOCHOW KAMPUA is a popular noodle dish originating from the Foochow community in Sibu, Sarawak, Malaysia. It is a beloved local delicacy and is often regarded as a comfort food. The dish typically consists of springy egg noodles stir-fried with a flavorful combination of soy sauce, pork lard, garlic, and various toppings.

The key characteristic of Foochow Kampua noodles is their texture, which is chewy and slightly elastic. They are usually served with slices of tender barbecued pork (known as char siu), minced pork, shallots, and often accompanied by a small bowl of clear soup with green onions.

Foochow Kampua is best enjoyed with a drizzle of chili sauce or a side of pickled chilies to add some spiciness and tanginess to the dish. It provides a delightful blend of flavors and textures, making it a popular choice for breakfast or as a quick snack throughout the day.

If you ever find yourself in Sarawak, don’t miss the opportunity to savor this delicious and iconic Foochow Kampua dish that showcases the rich culinary heritage of the region.
