A comfort food for all occasions.
Everyone in Malaysia grew up with soup noodles, we eat them anytime of the day, for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even afternoon tea and supper. You can’t go wrong with a bowl of hot kuey teow soup on a cold evening, as a comfort food accompanied by various condiments and toppings.
The most common soup noodle that is popular among all the races, is a chicken stock based soup that is served with kuey teow (flat rice noodles) and topped with shredded chicken, fish cake or fish balls, bean sprouts, sprinkled with chopped spring onions and drizzled with garlic oil. If you like, you can always go for bihun (rice vermicelli) or mee (yellow noodle) instead of kuey teow.
It’s probably easier to eat this noodle soup outside at the restaurant, hawker stall or coffee shop, but it is definitely more satisfying to cook it at home, and add any condiments or toppings you want.
