Recently, I had the chance to try Mee Sup Ikan Sabah for the first time, and it was an experience worth sharing.
The Story Behind Mee Sup Ikan Sabah
Mee Sup Ikan is a popular dish in Sabah, made with fresh local fish, noodles, and a flavorful broth that ties everything together. The dish is simple yet packed with rich flavors, highlighting the freshness of the sea. I’ve heard about it several times, but somehow I never got around to trying it—until now.
The Experience
I found myself at a cozy eatery in Kota Kinabalu, known for its authentic Sabahan cuisine. When I saw Mee Sup Ikan on the menu, I knew it was time to finally dive in.
As the steaming bowl arrived at my table, the aroma immediately hit me—fresh, light, with hints of herbs and spices. The broth was clear, and you could see chunks of fish, vegetables, and noodles swimming in it. I couldn’t wait to take my first sip.
The Taste
The first spoonful of the broth was refreshing. It had a clean, slightly tangy flavor, most likely from the lime and ginger, balanced with a subtle umami taste from the fish. The noodles were soft but had a nice bite to them, soaking up all the flavors of the broth. The fish itself was tender and flaky, perfectly cooked.
What really made the dish stand out was the freshness of the ingredients. You could tell the fish was caught that morning—no overpowering fishy taste, just a pure, fresh flavor. The use of local herbs added a nice touch, giving the soup a distinct Sabahan feel.
