Rainy day…

It was raining that morning…

…when I was out and about very early as I had a couple of things to do. I noticed that the outlet of our Sarawak’s own fast food franchise in the vicinity was open…

…so I decided to stop by…

…and have something for breakfast.

I saw that they had this coffee vending machine or whatever you call this…

…so that was what I ordered…

However, the girl did not get my order from that and instead, she went somewhere and came back with the 3-in-one (RM3.10) and I asked for some ice as I would prefer my coffee cold. Nope, it was not to my liking – very weak, so diluted…and so expensive!!!

I did not want anything from their breakfast menu…

…and asked for a plate of fried macaroni with chicken (RM6.80)…

…instead. I remember having this a very very long time ago and thought it was quite nice. Usually, when I fry my own, I would use the bigger version of the pasta, the one with lines. These small ones bring to mind those little rubber tubes that one would fix on the valves in one’s bicycle tyres.

My girl would not go for anything like this…

…of course. She is a purist and would insist on pasta being served with one of those tomato-based or creamy sauces or whatever they may have in the more authentic ones. That was why she would not order the spaghetti mamak at that what-we-thought-was-an-Italian place but from the look of some of the items on their menu, it was just another one of those (CON)fusion places around here.

Well, that tasted all right…but I would think that it is a better idea to just drop by some coffee shop and have a plate of char kway teow instead for around half the price.
