Mee rebus (also known as mie rebus/mi rebus and mie kuah, the latter literally means "noodle soup" in Indonesian)[3] is a Maritime Southeast Asian noodle soup dish. Literally translated as "boiled noodles", it is popular in Maritime Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.
In certain areas, a similar variety of Mee rebus is called Mie Jawa, Mee Jawa, Mi Jawa, Bakmi Jawa or Bakmi Godhog,[4] although this is a popular misnomer, since Mie Jawa is slightly different from Mie Rebus. Despite sharing similar spices, Mie Jawa contains chicken instead of shrimp.[4] A dish similar to Mie Rebus in Indonesia is called mie celor, and it is popular in Palembang. Batam islands has a version called Mie Lendir.
