A few years ago I wrote about Mee Bandung and Sirap Bandung, which you'll never find it in Bandung, Indonesia.
Mee Bandung originated from Muar Johore, while the Sirap was a concoction of mixing tea with milk and sugar by a Qweilo in Singapore who hated the taste of Tea, which he described as 'dung'. He called this new drink ' Banned Dung', which sounded like that town in Indonesia.
Later , a group of Mamak further improvised it by adding Rose syrup and thus Sirap Bandung , which actually should have been Sirap Banned Dung.
Noodles or Mee has a long history in China , way before it landed on our shore. It was believed to have existed some 4000 years ago in the Han region. It was also believed that Marco Polo brought it back from China to Italy , and the Italian improvised it to become Spaghetti or Pasta.
We love our noodles very much, and never short of its varieties , thanks to our diversity, a melting pot of ingredients and cooking styles and recipes , that spices up our taste buds.
From Mee Goreng Mamak, Mee Cantonese, Mee Rebus , Mee Jawa , Hokkien Mee , you name it , you try it and definitely you'll love it.
Latest edition to this family is our favourite once in a while, cooking without a recipe noodles, the Mee Segera or Instant Noodles , and instantly Maggi will come to our mind.
You don't need a recipe for it, though if you are a bit hardworking , will opt to be a bit creative, to get the taste that you want. Other wise just stick to the
' Mee Maggi , cepat di masak, sedap di makan.
Well, there's other variations of noodles to that need to be mentioned here, like Mee Hoon or Bihun, Laksa, Kway Teow and Wantan. We'll talk about it later. Okay?
Hope you have a Happy Noodle Day.
Ajelan...enjoying our homemade
Mee Bandung.
