Of Kompia and Desire

Kompia or Kompyang aka Fuzhou Bagel, originates from China and popularised by the Foochow community in Sibu. It has two main flavours: salty and sweet. Some bakers would fill the kompia with beef and chicken, but locals would question their halal status. Luckily, Kompia House, a small bakery based in Kuching, has made it easier for people with some doubts. I have tasted their kompia, and it’s really good. Really, really good. Especially their kompia filled with daging masak hitam. So tender, so juicy. Ya Allah, sedap.

They are one of the vendors at the Kuching Food Festival, but I didn’t buy their kompia because we (me and my friend) thought it was best if we only got something we had not tried yet. But I have only tried daging hitam and butter-flavoured kompia. How about cheese and garlic, red beans, kaya, and biscoff? Maybe they wanted me to buy them, maybe they wanted to be pursued. I was thinking of their freshly baked kompia with crunchy bits on top of it and that soft and sweet bread. I can only think of how they melt in my mouth.

This is strictly about kompia and how much I want them right now. That is all.
