How to Make Kuew Tiaw Separuh with Seafood (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Kuew Tiaw Separuh with Seafood is a beloved Malaysian noodle dish enjoyed for its light yet flavorful profile. Rooted in Malaysia’s multicultural food heritage, this dish features 'kuew tiaw'—flat rice noodles—served in a half-portion (‘separuh’), making it perfect for those seeking a satisfying but not overly heavy lunch. Traditionally stir-fried with a bounty of fresh seafood, local vegetables, and aromatic herbs such as daun limau purut (kaffir lime leaves) and serai (lemongrass), Kuew Tiaw Separuh is a celebration of Malaysia’s coastal abundance and culinary diversity. What makes this version special is its focus on health-conscious preparation. We use minimal oil, prioritize fresh Malaysian ingredients, and avoid artificial additives, allowing the natural sweetness of prawns, sotong (squid), and vegetables to shine. The dish is both comforting and balanced, making it suitable for those mindful of their calorie intake. Whether you’re enjoying it at a bustling hawker center or making it at home, Kuew Tiaw Separuh with Seafood brings the taste of Malaysia to your table with every bite.
