The real talk

Tuaran mee is Sabah's pride, handmade egg noodles that are lightly deep fried then stir fried or braised, served with a rolled egg omelette, char siu and choy sum. Those gorgeous golden noodles are egg yolk rich to start with and absorb oil at both cooking stages, which is why a plate lands around 650 calories. The double frying is the story.
