This dish brings me back to our first visit to KL while our girl had her first overseas school trip. All I remember was the horror of seeing some soupy and black noodles in KL’s Chinatown.
The dish has an umami flavor that is derived from the flat fish. The closest substitute is probably bonito powder.
Add a little more water if soupy is your thing but as for me, a moist and not too watery noodle dish coated with flat fish bits and black sauce is enough to make me one happy person.
Serves two.
