What is Mee Suah Tau

Mee Suah Tau, also called mee suah kor, is a vermicelli soup topped with shredded crab meat. I had it the first time several years ago at the Senior Citizen Club along Jalan Ramanathan (Scott Road). Shortly thereafter, I learned that a stall at Restoran Bee Hooi, a coffee shop in Pulau Tikus also sells Mee Suah Tau. I prefer the one at Bee Hooi, which is cheaper than the one at the Senior Citizen Club. Nevertheless, if you have never tasted mee suah tau, I suggest you try both and then decide. Oh yes, there's also Mee Suah Tau at the Teow Chew Meng Restaurant, which is a more upmarket place than the coffee shops - but my wife was unimpressed.

I have to concede that the best is the home-cooked Mee Suah Tau made by my wife. No, she didn't make me say it. It's just that, there's no way stall food version can compete with home-cooked version in terms of ingredients. When my wife makes mee suah tau, she uses a lot of enoki mushrooms, shittake mushrooms, dried prawns (heh-bee) fried in oil, fried garlic in oil, real as well as imitation crab meat. With all that ingredients, the soup is really rich and sweet.

Ingredients of Mee Suah Tau:

vermicelli (mee suah)

crab meat

fried garlic in oil (suah tau eu)

dried prawns fried in oil

mushrooms (shittake, enoki)
