Mie Tiaw Apollo
Mie Tiaw Daging Sapi Apollo
A Pontianak kwetiau institution open since 1968, widely regarded as the originator of Pontianak-style stir-fried beef kwetiau, and still run by the same family.
Located in central Pontianak at Jl. Pattimura No. 63 (Darat Sekip), run by the same family since 1968. The signature is wide, flat stir-fried kwetiau with beef, beef tendon, hoof tendon (kikil), tripe and beef intestine. You can also order it in soup or in gravy-style versions, and local food guides list the restaurant as halal. It opens in the afternoon and often has a wait at mealtimes. The simple little shop is unfussy, and a meal costs tens of thousands of rupiah per person. A nearby shop, Mie Tiaw Polo, run by a former employee, is worth comparing.
Opening hours
About 1:30 p.m. until evening (check with the shop on the day)
