Mee Udang Yaakob Hashim

because I always felt sayur interferes with the core taste and because I don't usually eat sayur :D

Cerita lama. Kalau simpan mee udang tu dari tarikh makan sampai sekarang, pasti dah subur dengan mikroorganisma. But..never too late to write about, kot :) Jun lepas, alhamdulillah, dikurnia kelapangan masa, kenderaan dan kemampuan untuk menjemput pulang that special someone I'd call perempuan Scorpio, di lapangan terbang. Because her house tak jauh sangat (kot?) dari Pulau Sayak and because kitorang tak berapa ada selera tengahari tu and because I never tried mee udang Pulau Sayak yang kononnya femes, we opted to mengembara mencari mee udang. Our pick was Mee Udang Yaakob Hashim. Kenapa Yaakob Hashim punya? Sebab yang tu yang first aku nampak kat results Google bila aku cari Mee Udang Pulau Sayak. Since it's important in life to set a goal, thus I made that a goal :D

 

Tempat dia atas sikit dari Fish Research Institute (FRI). Banyak signboards seperti "Pulau Sayak 6 km" to guide ke sana. The mee udang was alhamdulillah good. Manis-manis pedas. Makan lama-lama rasa macam boleh tahan gak la pedas dia. I don't think I can ever be a good food critic but as a human who eats, it was basically okay la. Udang dia gedabak (yay!). Jangan ditanya nama udang because undefined in my system. Yang pasti, udang kering aku kenal. I'm not sure memang kedai dia work that way atau masa kitorang sampai je macam tu - they only have kuah mee udang tu je and boleh choose to eat dengan mee/koay teow/bihun...je. Takde nasi goreng, bihun goreng, ayam goreng kunyit, ikan bakar et cetera. 

 

And lastly that's the view from our table. Memang kedai dia betul-betul tepi pantai. Dari tempat duduk aku, jalan sepuluh langkah sederhana, boleh kot sampai hampir dengan laut. Masa kitorang pergi ni tengahari, panas lit-lit so it wasn't a good time nak stroll di tepi pantai catching up dan mengimbau kenangan manis. Boleh tengok aje la. But well, alhamdulillah for the sight! And hearing! Masih boleh see and also hear the waves crashing the shore :) Somewhat calming.

There were more to the day than what's written but some things are meant to just stay in memory and some things are hardly translated into words :) Can't thank Allah more for the chance to know perempuan Scorpio and  for all the time I get to spend with her.

Not sure if I'd go back to Yaakob Hashim for mee udang sebab bukan fan of mee udang (kalau laksa tu mungkin aaa) but I'd say it's worth the try! :)
