Mee Jawa in Kuching: Mak Siti Jia Jia at Jia Jia Court
-
For a morning bowl with a little more weight than a quick noodle stop, Mak Siti Jia Jia's Mee Jawa at Jia Jia Court, RH Plaza, is the dish to look for. The bowl comes with egg noodles, chicken thigh and boiled egg in a thick gravy built from sweet potato, prawn stock and meat stock. I would arrive early if lunch is the plan, because the stall also turns out cooked Malay dishes for the midday crowd.
Source — DayakDailyThe stall's story is unusually specific: Mak Siti has been serving at Jia Jia Court for 17 years, after first selling food and kuih from a roadside stall around Kota Sentosa. Her kitchen experience stretches beyond that current address, and the Mee Jawa is the clearest expression of the sweet, savoury and mildly spicy gravy she developed through years of cooking.

The stall is open daily from 6am to 2pm except Sunday, so I would treat it as a breakfast-to-lunch stop rather than a late afternoon option.
