Another unique dish that is serve here at Baba Low's is their Mee Goreng Sejuk (Cold Fried Mee). One would assume from the name that the dish will be served cold. That's what I think until the order came to the table! Unlike the name, Mee Goreng Sejuk (Cold Fried Mee) was not served cold. The dish consists of fried Yellow Mee with the restaurant's signature hot spicy sambal that comes with a fried egg and lime to freshen up the meal as a whole. Customers are given choices to choose wether to have it with prawns, tofu, or chicken.
