I was browsing thru this lovely Malaysian regional cooking book: "Rasa Malaysia" by Betty Saw and a dish called mee siam kering caught my eye. Aparantely, it is a Johor dish. As opposed to mee siam -a noodle with sweet-sour gravy, mee siam kering is fried bee hoon. Maybe that is the reason why it is called "kering" -it should mean "dry" in Malay? This assumption needs confirmation. Mee siam kering is fried bee hoon with beef, shrimp, bean sprouts, choy sum, and lot's of onions, garnished with lime wedge and sliced chillies. Flavor is like fried rice, except it's bee hoon. I guess I need to try the original mee siam kering at Johor one of these days.
