    My Instant Mee Rebus Paste Came With “Extra” Ingredients

    [Translation]

    Just my luck. Wanted to eat mee rebus so I tried this instant noodles for the first time

    Bought it at a frozen food shop at Geylang Serai Market, just behind the lift.

    It was my aunt who recommended the shop because they say everything there is delicious. So we tried 1 first. As we were stirring, we saw something amiss.

    There was actually a dead cockroach in the taucho part of the paste. There was a leg torn off. It was a pity

    Edited: I’m not even angry. I justpity myself because I really wanted to cook Mee Rebus to break fast.

     

    Below is the original post in Malay:

    Malang naseb. Teringin nk try mee rebus instant nie for the 1st time.

    Belilah kt kedai en frozen pasar geylang blakang lift sane.

    Makcik saya recommend sane instant dier smua sedap2. Jadi kita cuba 1 dulu. Gaul punya gaul nampak lain mcm.

    Rupanya ade lipas mati kt dlm. Melekat dgn tauchu. Kaki tercabot pon ade. Kesian…

    Edited: Im not even angry. Kesian dgn diri sendiri pon ade. Niat nk masak buat buka. Tapi ade jgk yg mengata,

  • Mee Rebus – More Than Just Boiled Noodles

    Mee Rebus – More Than Just Boiled Noodles

    This is one of the most boring dish names. Mee rebus simply means boiled noodles in Malay.

    And yet people would queue for it because the mere mention of mee rebus conjures up something more.

    It’s like chilli crab, really a misnomer with all the spices, eggs, sambal and vinegar or lime.

    Since the closure of Selera Kita Mee Rebus in Changi some years ago, there has been a void. The humble legend had no successor – or so we thought.

    Mee rebus is made with a meaty stock, a taucheo-based rempah, grago (dried krills) and sweet potato mash (and/or sweet potato starch) as a thickener.

    This is slathered over boiled noodles and the edgier ones include traces of lamb or beef to, well, beef things up.

    There are a few stalls offering mee rebus at Haig Road Hawker Centre at Block 14, Haig Road.

    I find two natural successors to the Selera Kita phenomenon and one of them is in a league of its own.

    WALITI HJ MAZUKI

    This is as close as it gets to the famous and defunct Selera Kita.

    The all-important sauce is thick, sweetish yet intensely savoury with heavy accents of grago.

    The egg, green chilli and bean sprouts lend texture but, like the others here, they sprinkle fried shallots instead of crispy krills on top.

    Best is to bite into the bits of fresh, cut green chillis as you take a mouthful of the noodles and sauce with a little chunk of egg.

    AFFANDI HAWA AND FAMILY

    #01-21 (10.30am to 8pm, closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays)

    Boss Affandi Ahmat now has his son Ahmad Tarmidzi, 30, helming the show.

    Mr Ahmad took a leap of faith eight years ago to inherit the family stall business.

    Their sauce is thick, almost curdling thick, with faint hints of lamb off-cuts and fats. Very alluring.

    It is very hard to tell theirs apart from Waliti’s version, safe for that hint of gaminess.

    I think no one wants to rock the boat and divide the customers, they just want to keep it sane, safe, similar and superb.
