I first got to know about red wine mee suah from having a bowl at Suan’s sister’s place, with her mom being the cook. I was intrigued by this simple yet unique dish. From then on, I was hooked… and didn’t know where I could find them outside of Foochow strongholds like Sibu & Sitiawan.

Then one day after one of my dental visit for invisalign check up at Mydentist.my at Jalan Ipoh, I somehow ended up at Chin Heng kopitiam while looking for a quick lunch.

Looking at the big menu plastered on the wall, I found it! Red wine mee suah! I gotta have it, so I did.

The red wine mee suah (RM 9) here comes with plenty of ginger with stripes of mushroom and chunks of chicken. The soup isn’t as thick as I wanted, but according to the operator (2nd generation foochow from China) you can always ask to have less soup and they’ll prepare it to be thicker. It is a pretty good version nonetheless.

Restaurant Chin Heng also serves lamb chop, chicken chop, pork chop, and quite a variety of noodle/kuih teow. It is pretty popular with the office crowd nearby, but I think it is a place to check out even if you don’t work nearby.

    Gotta say it does not look anything like ours here – the soup’s so cloudy and murky-looking…and bet ours would taste a lot nicer too. Wink! Wink!

    I’ll ask me mom to make another round. The first time she did it for you guys, she ran out of the wine .. so it wasn’t as fragrant as we normally have it.

      Choi Yen: it should be redder, but color isn’t the only indicative of taste. 😀

    KY, red wine noodle soup sound and look so good. Pork chop with it with would be great.

    the broth looks creamy and delicious … though i gotta confess, i haven’t learned to appreciate chinese rice wine recipes … red, yellow, the strong fermented flavour is a bit too strange for me 🙂
