Types of Fried Kuih Tiaw in Miri

 There are many ways of frying kuih tiaw.

In Malaysia we have Penang kuih tiaw with clams. The Cantonese in Kuala Lumpur fry their kuih tiaw in a hot wok with beansprouts and eggs, slices of pork and prawns. The Foochws in Sibu being more frugal fry kuih tiaw with a bit of beaten eggs and beansprouts and perhaps minced pork.

Then there is the famous tomato sauce kuih tiaw which has lots of ingredients. It is indeed very tasty. Most people have said that the best tomato sauce kuih tiaw is found in Bintulu.

Marudi is also very famous for its Marudi kiaw tiaw which is home made kuih tiaw fried with a few eggs, some bean sprouts and dried prawns and slices of pork.

In the city of Miri, one can get all these different types of kuih tiaw and many more. Miri is a cosmopolitan city and besides many people from all over Sarawak have chosen to settle down in the city. We can even get Limbang kuih tiaw, Kuching Kuih Tiaw etc...

I usually go to the two stalls in the Miri Central Market for my kuih tiaw. One stall has been operating for more than 50 years. the other one is newer and the two stalls, although competitors, the cooks and the servers are very courteous and helpful.

As to why I choose this stall most of the time (I have to give business to the other one too) is because I like the taste of the sauce, and the meticulous way the cook prepare the kuih tiaw for you. Also the secret lies in the sauce and the minced pork which the cook will douse over the hot and fiercely fried kuih tiaw from the wok. Enjoy!!
