rasa.sayang

back to london, you are back to malaysian food crazes.
you wanted to have a bowl of prawn noodles but you ended up with a few small dishes at rasa sayang.

it's bitter cold to walk on the street even it's just 8 minute walk from the underground station to london china town. it's the london chill and the dampness in the air that makes you feeling the extreme cold.

you ordered a michael jackson black and white.  the name commonly refers to the soy bean juice (white) with some mixture of cincau (a black jelly that has cooling effect).
you started off with roti canai (the malaysian style indian pancakes), the roti itself is fine but the dipping sauce has a strong trace of msg which you dislike...
the curry chee cheong fan 猪肠粉(another malaysian street side snack), you missed this for sure and this is by far the best dish you'd ordered and you wipe the plate clean.
the oyster omelet (蚝煎), commonly called as Or Chian using the hokkien pronunciation   it is made exactly the same style. or at least it uses the same ingredient, a mixture of tapioca flour like your mum and you.
 you love the distinct oyster taste, only you prefer the dipping sauce in fish sauce and generous of white pepper, but it came with chili sauce which is fine but not resemblance your childhood preference.
your breakfast the next morning. the seremban siew pau (芙蓉烧包) that you purchased from the bakery and eat it as breakfast.
