Being in Jakarta certainly brings back memories of student days in Glasgow - absolute delight when we find food that's similar in taste to KL, can't complain when we have nothing to compare against and it's the next best thing. LOL!
And so Hubs delightfully texted me when he and my friend's husband (then fiance) went to somewhere in Pluit to try this curry meehoon that's pretty similar to what we have in KL. I managed to try this couple of weeks ago.
I've since found out that this particular street i.e. Jl Pluit Sakti Raya is one of the places to go to for Medanese Chinese food. According to friend's husband, the original outlet is in Medan and this is the Jakarta branch that is managed by the brother. You can choose to have your curry with either meehoon or rice, and we chose meehoon.
The curry was slightly runny but flavourful. Each bowl is served up with a chicken drumstick, few pieces of gizzard and a potato. And of course, being away from home, this is really the next best thing. I was almost disappointed when I finished slurping up the curry. If it had just been me and Hubs, my powers of persuasion would have convinced him to order another bowl to share! :)
