My MIL family call this dish 'mee paklah'. I came to know this when i served them years ago during hari raya. They said 'oh, mee paklah'. They told me that during their time, there's this 'wak' that goes round the kampung selling mee rebus and mee kuah. Not knowing that the dish sold is called mee kuah, they gave a name, calling it mee paklah after the seller's name (Abdullah). So the name remains in our family too.
