Foo Chow Red Wine Mee Sua = RM9.00
Read in a Food Blog that recommended this place, and since I've never eaten Foo Chow Red Wine Mee Sua before I'd thought I'd give it a try. 🍜🤔
According to the Friendly Stall Lady in this place, she admitted that their Foo Chow Mee Sua isn't considered Traditional 🤔 but more like their own twist to it. I admire her Honesty. 👍 The Original one uses Chicken 🐔 and since I had eaten Chicken before this, I opted for Pork instead. 🐷 Also according to them, Soft-boiled Egg is more popular, so I chose it. 🥚
They apparently distilled their own Red Wine and if I wanted to add more, I could ask to top up free of charge. 🍷👍 When this was finally served up, I was hit by a Very Strong Aroma of Alcohol Fume. I am not kidding, this totally smells Alcoholic! 🍷😳
Wow OMG the Broth is Completely Tasteless and I kept inhaling Strong Alcohol Fumes as I ate this! 😳 Nothing inside the Bowl had any taste, throughout the Whole Meal, I kept inhaling Alcohol Fumes non-stop. 😳 Wow! It's already so Alcoholic by Default and there are people who would want to add even more Red Wine to this? 🍷😳
Even adding Soy Sauce didn't help with the taste. 🍯🤔 All I could focus on was the Strong Alcohol Fumes I kept inhaling. 🍷😅 There are even large pieces of Ginger Slices within and I question why even add them? 🫚🤔 Obviously there is no need to remove any Piggy Smell with so much Alcohol.
No idea if Foo Chow Red Wine Mee Sua is supposed to be tasteless while at the same time eating, inhale Alcohol Fumes like this. 🤔 If this was not a Traditional Food, I'd totally think this is 黑暗料理 lor 😅 Extremely unusual dish, it makes no sense to me why it has to be cooked this way. Perhaps because of the Alcohol, this is meant more to keep warm during Winter? ❄️🤔
While I can't recommend this myself, I'm not going to lower the score as maybe there is someone out there who may like such a dish. 🤔
