One night only…

Last weekend was kind of a mad rush as Melissa could not come back on Friday afternoon as they had replacement classes on Saturday.  Actually, that was somewhat a blessing in disguise as there was a terrible downpour and I could not imagine she and her colleague driving back all the way along our not-that-great so-called “highway” in the heavy rain. She only managed to come home the next day, Saturday, and then too, they were held back a bit and arrived home later than usual – around 4.30 p.m. After having had her forty winks, she had to get ready to go for the dinner we attended that night.

Since we could not go for the sunset evening service as usual, we had to go in the morning on Sunday. Right after that, we stopped by here for a bite. Melissa wanted the po piah but to our dismay, the stall was closed. I asked the people at the other stalls and they said that she had wrapped up her business and was not doing it anymore. Oh no!!!! Not my favourite po piah stall!!! Sobsssss!!!!!

In the end, Melissa had their mee jawa (RM3.50)…

…which was quite good but she missed the prawn fritters that we would get for the special at this other place for just one ringgit more. It did cross my mind, however, that they were very generous with the egg here…

…unlike at most other places where they would give half only.

I also ordered the roti jala (RM2.00)…

…and I was delighted that theirs was more like the thin, slightly crispy ones like what I enjoyed a lot at one nasi kandar place in Penang and not the soft, lembek (limp) type that I had at this nyonya place in KL. The dip was quite hopeless though…so we ate that with the gravy in Melissa’s mee jawa. I think the next time I want to eat that I would just tapao…and bring home to eat with our own homecooked curry or some nice ones that we can get from elsewhere.

My missus had the Sarawak laksa (RM5.00)…

that Rose had the other day and she loved it. She thought it was way nicer than our favourite here.

I had the kampua noodles (RM2.70)…

…and the pian sip soup (RM2.70) again and after that, we headed on home and after Melissa had had her bath and everything had been loaded into the car, we headed off to Melissa’s rural school.

It certainly was quite a rush last weekend, I must say, when Melissa was home for one night only…
