Explain the dish

Mee rebus is a dish comprising Chinese egg noodles in thick, spicy gravy. Reflecting the multicultural mix of Malaya, the dish contains spices from the Malaya Peninsula and was originally peddled by Indian Muslim migrants.

How did the name come about? Rebus in Malay means “to blanch”, so mee rebus refers to “blanched noodles”.

Describe the dish and the spices / ingredients used

Yellow egg noodles are blanched, and then flavoured with a thick gravy. locally as kuah, the gravy is a rich broth of grago (tiny shrimps), flour, sugar and salt. To enhance its flavour, herbs and spices such as lemongrass, ginger and shallots are added to the mix along with meats such as mutton, prawns, ikan bilis (dried anchovies) and even flower crabs. Traditionally, the gravy is thickened with mashed sweet potato while other variations add ground peanut. A drizzle of dark soya sauce, sliced green chillies and fried shallots top the dish. A slice of limau kesturi (lime) is served on the side to be squeezed over the dish, adding a sour edge. Bean sprouts, a halved hard-boiled egg, thinly sliced tau kwa (fried beancurd) and crispy fried shallots are commonly added as garnish.

Origins of the dish

The dish is also known as mi rebus, or mie rebus in Indonesia. As the egg noodles used in the dish are considered to be of Chinese origin, some suggest that mee rebus has had Chinese influence. Some believe that the dish originated from the Indonesian island of Java, where it is known as mee jawa, although the latter dish bears little semblance to mee rebus in its current form in the Malay Peninsula. It is also thought that the dish comes from the northern states of Malaysia and was brought southward by Indian-Muslim peddlers. Vendors peddled their wares from containers and a mobile stove hung between poles, cooking the food on the spot. As the dish traversed the Malay Peninsula, each Malay state concocted its own variation, adding new spices and flavours to the gravy.

How was it sold?

In the past, mi rebus was sold by mobile hawkers who carried two baskets over a pole. One basket contained a stove and a pot of boiling water, and the other the ingredients for the dish.
