Mee Sua, also known as longevity noodles, is a soft and delicate noodle dish deeply rooted in Foochow traditions. Served in a flavorful broth, often with chicken, pork, or red rice wine, it symbolizes prosperity and long life. This comforting dish is commonly enjoyed during celebrations and special occasions.
Mee Sua, or longevity noodles, originates from the Foochow (Fuzhou) community in China and was brought to Sarawak by early immigrants. Traditionally eaten during birthdays and special occasions, the dish symbolizes long life and good fortune.
Over time, Sarawak’s Foochow community adapted Mee Sua, often serving it in a rich chicken or red rice wine broth, making it a beloved comfort food.
Homemade red rice wine is a key ingredient in Foochow cuisine, especially in Mee Sua. Made from fermented red yeast rice and glutinous rice, it has a deep red hue and a mildly sweet, aromatic flavor.
Traditionally brewed at home, it is used in cooking and as a health tonic, believed to promote warmth and vitality.
This eatery offers a variety of traditional dishes that showcase the rich culinary heritage of the Foochow community.
