Explore the millions flavour of Indonesian Food

In indonesia food was created from different regions. Each islands, even each profince has their own unique food. for example, Malang. Malang is a city in East Java where I took my senior high school.  I was a bit familiar with the area as i live there for 3 years.


Cwi Mie is one of unique food in Malang, people often confuse to tell the difference between cwi mie and chicken noodle (mie ayam) because Cwi Mie isn't much different from its partner, regular Mie Ayam (Chicken Noodle).  The differences are the chicken sprinkle and the vegetable use.  Regular Mie Ayam has more soggy chicken, contains mushroom and yuey choy (a family of bok choy) while Cwi Mie has drier chicken which is almost liked chicken floss and uses lettuce instead. 


In the old days, cwi mie sellers were serving the noodle, lettuce, fried wontons, boiled wontons, beefballs and chicken sprinkle over in one bigger bowl.  Lately, some cwi mie seller have created  a fried wonton bowl for the serving plate.  It's actually similar to baked tortilla bowl.  Yep, it's a way of selling to attract more customers.
