HAVING spent three years in Miri, Sarawak, I had the opportunity to try food not easily available in the Klang Valley. One such dish is kolo mee.
Not only is it a must-have when visiting the Land of the Hornbills, but it’s also affordable.

When having kolo mee, I strongly believe that you need a Sarawakian to prepare it for you; only they know how to do it best.
So, while I had tried kolo mee in Shah Alam, I found another place I would gladly go back to for a simple bowl of kolo mee.
Hidden on the ground floor of Pangsapuri Kelana Sentral in Kelana Jaya is 7th Mile Kitchen, a restaurant run by a couple from Kuching.
The eatery serving Sarawak street food has been at its current location for four-and-a-half years.
Cook and owner Alex Kwan, 38 said they see a good number of people walking in for lunch but it’s on weekends that they have more Sarawakians, who are mostly regulars.
The eatery is a simple setup, with no fancy decorations.
