-Dian Bian Hu-


'Dian Bian Hu' (pronounced in Foochow dialect) or also known as 'Bubur Kuali' by the local natives here in Sibu, Sarawak. Dian Bian Hu is the tradition/old/local Foochow dish passed down from one generation to the next generation. The Foochow elders normally take this dish as one of their breakfast in those old days. Sibu is famous for its dian bian hu too aside from the fame of its 'Kampua Mee' and 'Kompia'. The elders still love this dish very much while the youngster today was not so keen on it but of course there was an exceptional case. I still remembered vividly that my parents will brought us to have this Dian Bian Hu at the back alley of old shops often when we were kid. It was cheap during old days and if I am not wrong, it started to cost about RM1.50/bowl then increased to RM3.50 - RM4.50/bowl today.



Well, it contains of fish ball, 'wood ear' or also known as edible black fungus, sliced squid, minced pork, and other additives.
