Did you know the Mee Rebus takes different forms across Malaysian states?
For one thing, the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia enjoys this bowl of braised noodles in clear bone or beef broth. The rest of the states are more familiar with the aromatic spicy blend of thick potato-based gravy.
Today, we shall explore the classic Terengganu braised noodles dish, Mee Rebus Ganu!
This bowl of noodles is a delicious balance between chicken and seafood, its soup light with a touch of spice and tang from the sambal kicap.
Just imagine a steaming hot serving of slurpy noodle soup on drizzly afternoons. A meal easy to make and budget-friendly; soft egg noodles accompanied with fresh prawns, cherry tomatoes, crispy greens, and melt-in-the-mouth boiled egg.
Every mouthful is a light blend of a spectrum of flavours, light yet simply delightful!
