My secondary schoolhouse (13-17 age) had a actually large canteen. How large? As long equally vi classrooms, equally broad equally two labs. Everyday we’d await frontward to account fourth dimension together with then that nosotros tin run downwardly together with live the get-go inwards delineate to larn our food. Each session of break(3 sessions inwards total), you’d encounter 800 students scrambling to the canteen (the schoolhouse had 48 classes inwards the morning time together with xvi classes inwards the afternoon, together with then two sessions inwards the morning time together with i inwards the afternoon) . So, yous ameliorate non live the last
It was run amongst a few vendors, rather than i major operator. During my time, at that topographic point were two Indian stalls, two Malay Stalls, two Chinese stalls, two drinks stalls together with i Kacang Putih stall.. Overall, the schoolhouse had iii versions of nasi lemak, four versions of fried noodles (2 Indian 1 Malay together with 1 Chinese), two versions of noodle soup (malay together with Chinese), chicken rice, thosai, roti canai/pratha, mushroom noodle, chee cheong fun(with lots of “liew” to select from), assam laksa, cekodok, currypuff, keropok lekor, lots of kacang putih(Indian snacks) together with twenty varieties of drinks.
We rarely encounter students bringing nutrient to school, together with most of us create consume at school. Food is inexpensive together with good. Cheaper than chief school. H5N1 bowl of noodle soup (plain, whatever variety) exclusively costs forty sen, a 10oz loving cup of watermelon juice or soy edible bean exclusively cost us xxx sen. Nasi lemak comes inwards forty sen together with 50 sen portions together with chicken rice is exclusively RM1. Thosai together with roti canai/pratha is only…. xxx sen!!! Why convey nutrient when the nutrient inwards the canteen is together with then affordable(20% -40%)less than exterior nutrient that fourth dimension together with most of all, they are all delicious. The exclusively nutrient that was measure priced compared to exterior nutrient is chee cheong fun. For those of yous who know Kampar, Kampar is a house known for skilful local food, together with fifty-fifty the schoolhouse canteen won’t live whatever worse. If they serve “edible” food, they won’t live inwards delineate of piece of occupation concern for long.
Few years afterward I left school, the canteen organization changed due to the declining amount of students. One operator took over the whole canteen together with the nutrient is null to scream about. Mission schools were no longer the selection schoolhouse compared to Chinese schools. The schoolhouse is inwards bad shape together with well, it’s no longer the overstep schoolhouse inwards town. Used to accept 12 classes inwards each shape together with now… only 2??? Sounds actually piteous right? But what tin i create amongst the alter inwards instruction trends?
Today I tried to build the Malay stall’s “mee sup”. The noodles were served inwards a exceptional broth, that tin live industrial plant life no where. Well, possibly at that topographic point is out there, but I’ve never eaten i amongst all the Malays eateries I’ve been to. When e'er I lodge this, I’d encounter how they’d stir the pot together with all the materials within is visible to me. I tried to recreate this dish, together with I dare to say, I’m pretty nigh it. The makcik (Malay for auntie) used prawn heads(from the prawns she run to build sambal udang for the nasi lemak) together with chicken carcass equally the base of operations for the broth. It’s non a curry, but is lightly infused amongst kokosnoot milk to add together some sweetness together with fragrant border to it. It was non hot together with spicy similar a curry, but fragrantly spiced amongst local aromatics.
My dearest readers who are my seniors or my juniors, I’m certain this dish brings dorsum memories for you, at to the lowest degree it does for me.
