Toa Payoh Gourmet Paradise: Mee Rebus

Just a quick post for you guys on something that I'm sure everyone will recognize.

I guess that most people would consider Mee Rebus as a breakfast item but that's not necessarily the case.
Mee Rebus can be enjoyed at any time of the day and I've heard of several variations from the common Mee Rebus with Satay to the not-so-common Mee Rebus with Tulang.

In fact, I'm willing to bet that quite a few of you have your own special recipes for homemade Mee Rebus am I right? Hmmm.... SEDAP!

Mee Rebus ($3.60)

One morning while we were waiting for an appointment in the area, my darling wife felt like having some Mee Rebus. She used to work in the area awhile back and mentioned that there was a stall that sold a pretty mean bowl of Mee Rebus.

The food court itself apparently has undergone a renovation so she wasn't sure if the stall was still around.
Luckily for us, the stall was still around and we were the first customers of the morning.

The Mee Rebus itself was really tasty and the gravy had a good consistency to it. Some Mee Rebus I've had in the past have a gravy that is either too thick or too watery. This one managed to stay fluid and had a nice tasty kick to it especially when you add in the sambal for extra spicy goodness. We also added a Bagedil for good measure hehehehe.


One thing to note, the serving was actually quite big so 2 people can share.
Or maybe we were not that hungry?

Adam's Verdict:
Mee Rebus 4/5

Maryah's Verdict:
Mee Rebus 4.5/5

Let's face it - there are some dishes that you have a special personal preference so when you eat it, you either like it or you don't like it and I guess Mee Rebus is like that. So if you find one that you like, remember where it is so you can get it all the time!

Larkin Bus Terminal: Mee Bandung

Mee Bandung (RM4.00)

So my darling wife and I headed down to Larkin again with my parents in tow.
After we settled our errands, it was makan time!

Everyone was having Nasi Campur but I wasn't in the mood for rice.
In the end, I settled on some Mee Bandung.

I've actually never had Mee Bandung outside before as in I've never ordered it when eating out.
In fact, the only other time I've had it is when my darling wife cooked it for me at home once.
I really wasn't sure why I ordered it other than I didn't know what else to have. Was it going to be yummy?

YES!

This was definitely a tasty serving of Mee Bandung!
The gravy was really tasty and the shrimp taste was  not overpowering at all.
And they definitely were not stingy with the topping either. Chicken, egg, fishcake and vegetables galore!

One thing I have to point out is the big serving of noodles that comes along.
I do like my noodles but I got tired of it after awhile and ended up scooping the remainder out while I finished up the delicious gravy.


According to checks on the internet, Mee Bandung originated from Muar which is in Johor.
I'm not sure if the people are from Muar but they sure know how to make a decent bowl of Mee Bandung.

Adam's Verdict:
Mee Bandung 3/5

This is the 2nd best Mee Bandung I've ever had.
My wife's version still wins :)
