Ang Chiew Mee Suah (Hong Chau Min Sin-cantonese)

This is Hock Chiew's signature Mee Sua or Min Sin.

This is Sitiawan's famous dish. It's like Kei Si Hor Fun (sliced chicken noodle) in Ipoh.

My first try on this dish was back in 1999, almost 10 years ago. I can say that I like it very much.

What so special about this dish ? The soup base is not merely braised by chicken stock nor pork stock. It entails chinese red rice wine which soaked in for 3 months before it's ready to be used.

As below pic, glutinuous rice with red rice and wine cake.
Mix them together and soak for 3 months.


It is then kept in bottle and ready to be used to cook ginger chicken soup or saute chicken with it's rice wine. MIL used to cook soup whenever it's the birthday of any of the family members.

The mee sua is first cooked with plain water. After it is cooked, drain it. Then, scoop up some oil from the red wine soup and mix to the mee sua. In this sense, the mee sua will not stick in one big lump, and it is much tastier.


*Note: There are 2 types of mee sua from Sitiawan. One is fatter and the other thinner. I like the thinner type. It goes well with this soup.

In fact, this dish is also perfect to be eaten during confinement since it is made of rice wine and also cooked with chicken and ginger. I had it almost every other day during my confinement. nmm... it's yummy !

This Signature Dish has also been blogged by Motormouth from Ipoh earlier on. You can check out from his blog on where to find this dish in Sitiawan. As for Penang (mainland), there is one coffee shop selling this at night. It is at Tmn. Mutiara night food court, BM. Main road to Jit Sin (SRJK) Secondary high school, coffee shop facing the main road. (the morning wet market is at the back).
