A Full Table :: Nasi Padang

It has been a while since I stopped by Hjh Maimunah at Jalan Pisang for lunch. After a sweaty session, the gym buddies and I didn't feel like showering. So stinky as we were, we toddled down to have nasi padang. It was a crazy hot day and a seriously hot walk under the sun with barely any shelter from the open-air carpark to the restaurant. We were all glad that nobody bothered with a shower. We would have been completely soaked. 

Since it was a full table of six, we ordered pretty much everything on the counter. Hahahaha. Including a tauhu telur. Some wanted sambal sotong, some wanted fish, and beef rendang and ayam merah. I asked for begedil and paru belado. All of us asked for half portions of rice. The server was like, 'Are you sure it's enough?' Oh absolutely. Heh. 

We thoughtfully sat outdoors so that the group stink didn't suffocate the next table. Hhahahaha. We're all fine with the hot outdoors. The overhead fans worked well and this corridor was in full shade. It was kinda fun sweating it out with everyone else. Calories? Salt? Fats? Yes, noted and noted, and eaten.

All I really wanted is sambal! I had an inexplicable craving for sambal chillies. Not just spices. I got plenty of those — sambal belchan and belado. GOT 'EM ALL. NOMS.
