OH mamak!
Dropped into Rich Maha (Vermont South, Burwood Highway) after a long time and I was stoked to see that they expanded their menu to include... maggi mee goreng and a whole host of dessert roti pratas!! Here I am trying to recreate my typical meal at Niqqi's back home ;) The maggi mee goreng was done in the usual mee goreng style but I preferred Niqqi's way... sigh. Banana & Honey roti prata was ok and the teh tarik is always good! Prices have increased at Rich Maha and I paid double (ok, portions are 1.5x) of what it would cost in sg. But the highlight of my lunch would have to be a "cultural lesson" given by the mamak cashier when ordering.
Me: "I want teh tarik and hot tea."
Mamak: "Huh? So two teh tarik?"
Me: "No, teh tarik has milk. I want plain tea."
Mamak: "Oh, teh O!" (and was that a smirk I saw?!)
Me: "Ah hahaha... yes, teh O" (what's wrong with calling it "plain tea"?, have I lost it?!)
