The Glutton Queen

Seriously. I mean, there is this eatery called Mee Jawa that serves Mee Jawa as their main dish. Duh! The name of the shop itself has brought the message loud and clear. This “Mee Jawa” shop is located at Casa Tropicana. Yes, you heard me right, inside Casa Tropicana.

Our boss brought us there for dinner one night after work. None of us has been there before. Entering the shop, the decoration on the ceiling greeted us.

I’ve seen the thing hanging on the ceiling served as a cage for fighting cocks before in Sarawak.

We chose a table and sit on a classic-looking rattan chair like these:

The waiter then brought us the menu.

Unique

Our boss, Alvin and me ordered Mee Jawa while Alvin’s brother ordered their Curry Laksa. I forgot what we ordered for drinks already but this is the place they make drinks for the customers:

The Curry Laksa Came first

As you can see from the picture, it tasted just as nice. I stole a spoonful of the curry from Alvin’s brother. The brownish paste next to the long beans was sambal belacan which was quite spicy was for mixing together with the soup.

Not long after that, our Mee Jawa came

It was huge. Bean sprouts, cabbage, dried bean curd, fried onions and a slice of lemon covered the noodle. Also not forgetting the main ingredient of the Mee Jawa, the gravy. It was sweet. There was about a tablespoon of sambal belacan paste next to the noodle to be mixed together with the noodle as well. But I did not like it to be too spicy, so I put the sambal belacan aside. Squeeze the lemon and mix everything in the plate evenly before eating.

It tasted so-so, not that great to the point of orgasmic as well as not too bad to the point of inedible. But there will definitely no second time for me to have Mee Jawa from Mee Jawa. Well, it was just not my type of food. I still prefer Mee Jawa in Sarawak.

The decoration in the toilet somehow did impress me
