Choon Hui is the coffee shop famous for the Sarawak Laksa that Anthony Bourdain decided was the "breakfast of gods". Sadly I couldn't get it this time as they were all sold out.

I ordered Kolo Mee instead, requesting my favorite version in Hokkien like I always do - 'Q' mee (springy noodles) with 'cha sio yiu', which is basically rendered oil from cooking char siu. It's what gives the noodles a reddish hue.

It only took 10 minutes for this bowl of springy egg noodles to arrive at the table. It was tossed in the sweet, savoury 'red oil' as requested with a little bit of vinegar and topped with char siu and chopped scallions.

It was really good but the portion was too small for someone with a big appetite. So I ordered another bowl of Kolo Mee, but the regular one this time.
