Tue April 5 The man isn't interested in the run-of-the-mill food at shopping malls. Even if we head out for a casual lunch run, he wants something tasty that isn't in a mall, which is often the most accessible venue. The other day, we needed lunch after a crazy morning of work calls. The man wanted spices. We went to Kandahar Street for lunch at Rumah Makan Minang.
It was a week day, but it was super crowded in the Jalan Sultan area. Never mind that we had to wait a bit to get a parking space in the area (they've closed off Kandahar Street for 40 days for a Ramandan bazaar), it was also searing hot afternoon at 1pm. But of course it proceeded to storm right after our meal as we were driving off. 🤨
Unsurprisingly, at 1pm, the restaurant had run out of begedil and paru. Ahhh well. Something else then. I should switch up my usual selections of dishes when it comes to nasi padang. Hahaha. The queue was short and it moved fast. The man picked out sotong masak hitam, ayam belado hijau, ayam gulai, sambal goreng, and an ikan tenggiri head cooked with chilli padi and lemak. NOMS.
Ordered a bottle of mineral water and two glasses of ice cubes. That was much needed in this heat. It was madness. We sat outdoors. It was sweltering, but food was soooo good. I do love a good meal of spices and piquant belado.
