I dare to crown this place: the best kolo mee in Kuching.
Joyful Garden Cafe.
Behind Hock Lee Centre.
If you want to be more specific, it is at the corner shop lot.
Lorong Datuk Abang Abdul Rahim 5a.
Opens daily in the morning, closes on Sunday.
It takes me a while to crown one, as it is rather difficult, as you can see, a lot of places here in Kuching serve awesome kolo mee.
This kolo mee is very unpretentious.
The BBQ meat / char siew is roasted to perfection, succulent and mind you, the kolo mee sellers (an old woman and an old man) are very generous with the meat.
On top of the char siew, there is also some meatballs and minced meat.
The kolo mee is always al dente. Never undercooked or overcooked.
You can even taste the char siew oil in the noodles.
I cannot describe that sort of feeling.

I will not compare this to Bishop Gate noodles / Min Joo kolo mee, as they are totally in the different league.
This is just plain kolo mee, sans the zheng / cheng (soup) made from a medley of pig offal and such.
Even the Kuching South mayor, Datuk Bandar James Chan was spotted having kolo mee here several times.

Yes!!! My friend shared a photo of this one on Facebook. I always stay at Hock Lee - 360 Hotel, cheap and nice... Would be easy to hop over to eat this... So cheap some more.
Judge by its look .....
