Thoughts: 砂拉越茄子/番茄麵 Sarawak Tomato Mee or more commonly known as "Keo Jiap Mee" (the words "茄汁 Keo Jiap" = Tomato Ketchup and "麵 Mee" = Noodles in 福建話 Hokkien). Today's rm$12.90 "砂拉越茄子麵(加料) Sarawak Tomato Mee" comes with 古晉炸麵 crispy Dried Mee (like the dried Yee Mee) with toppings of 叉燒 Cha Siew, 豬肉丸 Meat Ball, 豬肝 Pork Liver, 魚丸 Fish Ball, 魚餅 Fish Cake, 青菜 Vegetable and topped with interesting thick 番茄醬 Tomato gravy. The Sarawak 番茄麵 looks unmistakably like the 廣府炒 Cantonese style fried noodle dish except that it is with a thickened "orange color" tomato sauce.
"林里香 Restaurant Lin Li Xiang" is located in one of the single row shop lots in SS22, right next to Damansara Link - Sprint Highway. This neighborhood restaurant in Damansara Jaya offers all-day long Kolo Mee (a variety of dry or soup choices), their signature Sarawak Laksa, Sarawak style goreng-goreng, several choices of Sarawak Tomato sauce noodles, Hakka style rice dishes, and some choices of snacks. The morning session offers Sarawak style noodles and rice dishes until 4pm. The evening session offers interesting 達雅克燒烤 Dayak BBQ, 火鍋 Hot Pot, as well as 砂拉越原住民煮炒 Masakan Ruai, not forgetting there are 瓶裝啤酒 bottled beers choices in the menu to go with the Dayak BBQ!
In Sarawak, the 砂拉越人 Sarawakians have a unique palate and will rate whether this noodle dish is nice or not depending on how well the 麵條的油炸程度 noodles are deep fried and crispy (deep fried to perfection), whether it is 是否足夠酸 sour enough and are the noodles flooded with 足夠的番茄醬 adequate tomato sauce! Although 粿條 kway tiao (番茄粿條 Tomato Kuey Tiao) and 米粉 beehoon (番茄米粉 Tomato Rice Vermicelli) are also common alternatives in Kuching Tomato Noodles variants. 砂拉越茄子麵 Sarawak Tomato Mee is among the unique 古晉番茄麵花樣 Sarawak style noodle dishes that you cannot find in 西馬 West Malaysia or 新加坡 Singapore or even Sabah.
Some say that 砂拉越茄子/番茄麵 Sarawak Tomato Mee is the local version of tomato richness of the 意大利麵 Italian spaghetti bolognaise. BUT Instead of minced meat; mixed 海鮮 seafood (魷魚 squid or 蝦 prawns), 雞粒 shredded chicken, and maybe 豬內臟 pork innards, 叉燒 fish cake, 魚餅 charsiew, and some 菜心 choysum are common in 砂拉越番茄麵 Sarawak Tomato Mee!
番茄麵 Sarawak Tomato Mee is a strangely delicious dish but there isn't any information in the web about the origin of this interesting dish. BUT someone did suggest that it could have a similar story like the 殖民遺產 Colonial legacy of the "海南雞扒配番茄醬 Hainanese Chicken Chop with tomato sauce"; where the chef mistakenly poured over tomato sauce instead of the intended oyster sauce over the chicken chop!Food today: 9 / 10 👍👍👍👍
