My ever-present craving for mee rebus led us back to Anzac Parade again yesterday.To Abang Sam ("Brother Sam" in Malay), another Malaysian eatery further down the road from Kaki Lima where I failed to quench my thirst for a big bowlful of that delicious gravy last Sunday.
It was a scorching 40°C in Sydney yesterday (I loved it! The heat is back! Woohoo!). Too hot to be slurping down a spicy bowl of noodles soaked in a heavy gravy, some might think. But I was feeling sorry for myself from all the drinks that I had at Ms Carpet's birthday party the night before plus all the beers and alcopops I consumed on at the concert on Friday evening and nothing cures a hangover faster than a good dose of mee rebus!
Finally! All mine!The gravy was a little too watered-down for my liking - I love it thick and viscous like lava! But the flavour and spices were all in there so I'll give it a big fat ✔.
The boyfriend was being his old boring self and ordered the murtabak again. Better than Kaki Lima's was his verdict. Crispier and crunchier. And the curry was thicker and more flavoursome.
The refreshing drinks that we had with our "breakfast" in the afternoon - coconut for him and longan for me.And that's all we did yesterday. Instead of enjoying the lovely day outside, we came home and I nanna-napped the whole of the afternoon away.
We are certified old fogeys now - two nights-out in a row and we are fucked. And they weren't even as big as the nights that we used to have. Sigh.
