Mee Rebus Ramli Ipoh Maliii...........
This shop that is currently situated in Tasek and has a branch opposite Jubilee Park in Ipoh town holds really nostalgic value for me. You see, I used to visit a wooden stall in Kampung Tawas beside the pasar (market) for this addictive mee rebus (literally blanched noodles, but it was actually noodles in thick sweet potato gravy with spices). The humble stall was manned by a young man (a Malay guy) with his second man (a Singh). That was at least 15 years ago. The owner has since grown his business from a humble start to where he is now. So Malaysians, have faith in yourself, no matter what business you are in. What's important is your wholeheartedness and determination.
The soup was thick and creamy. You can taste the fragrance of sweet potato with meat stock and spices. And the combination with noodles and fritters were heavenly. But that was last time. Sad to say that the last 2 times I visited both the Tasek and town establishment, I found the quality of soup overwhelmed with the taste of chili sauce. I wished you had tried the original noodles to know how good it was. Now, my only hope is that the owner will realise of his mistake before it is too late.
I for one grew up with Ramli Mee Rebus. While schooling my mom drive me to buy it from a stall under the tree, where the owner tells us his broth was made from boiling crab shells. It was divine, and fast forward now Ramli has grown to franchaise, the taste has lost many of its original qualities.
ReplyDeleteThe real owner had passed away more than 17 years ago and his daughter n son had took over. Late Ramli's assistant either still attached with them or not... not sure...thanks why the ori taste you can't find anymore... :(
