And yes, I do have money saved up so I can do some dining out while there. To the extent that all I can really buy for tea is two-minute noodles until then.

Oh yes! Those ones are really nice.
I can really only recognise them from packages though, a few of the imports I get have absolutely no English whatsoever on there (sometimes there's Engrish if you're lucky, of course) so it's really shooting in the dark. You never know what's going to be in those flavour sachets!
At any rate, stuff here's cheaper than Sydney - which is not difficult at all apparently.
Haven't been there in the longest of times, but I figure you're right. Have no interest in going back there anyway - actually, a look at the site for their art gallery might change my mind.
Melbourne IMAX - U23D - Saturday 7/6/08 - 5.15pm ... who's up for it?
Usually it's just dark soy sauce, garlic / oil thing and chilli powder in one, and fried onions and seasoning in the other, innit?
At any rate, these are the way to go. It always cracks me up when people don't drain the water and start adding stuff though.
Been there twice, seen the touristy things, went to the Mardi Gras, and meh. Nothing remotely interesting there at all. Apart from the Mardi Gras, which was... interesting...
Yeah, for that brand I believe so. But other direct imports sometimes have three sachets, and may have dried fish or vegetables that I am unfamiliar with that look like dried fish and taste funny. That's happened before. I'm no fan of either. Oh well, they're only about fifty cents and the noodle cake tastes pretty good on its own anyway.
Does anyone actually do that intentionally? Once or twice I forget, but it really ruins them. No one's going to eat spaghetti drowned in 400ml of water.
Oh, the dried fish stuff is just that - dried fish. Tiny dried anchovies usually.
And yeah, one of my friends who'd never eaten the stuff before was going to do it, probably cause he was only familiar with the "wet" type of 3-minute noodles.
Yeah. Yecch.
Whoa, wait a second - he'd never eaten it before?! Maggi two-minute noodles were basically the food of my childhood. You shouldn't have butted in, waited until he'd done it and then pissed him off.
also, Hi Bonnie and Maj.
Found out there's an exhibition of medieval illuminated manuscripts at the Library in town until the 15th... it's open till 9pm on Thursdays. Must remember to check that out, tomorrow or next week
I need sleep...
seeya dudes
He'd never eaten the Indomie stuff before, only the Maggi stuff, which is usually served wet AFAIK. So yeah, me and another friend were watching him with WTF expressions, then decided to jump in before he hurt himself.
While we're on the subject of Malay food,
Nasi Lemak, meaning roughly "fat rice" in Malay. The rice is usually cooked with coconut or pandan, and eaten with what you see around it. Staple food for many in Malaysia, especially schoolkids.
So, what is this stuff exactly, other than the egg and rice? Are those anchovies on the top? Apple and some kind of sauce or chutney? Fish jerky?
That boiled egg looks nice. Boiled is basically the only way you can get me to eat egg.
Can't say it's the most appetising looking stuff as far as what I usually enjoy goes, but I'm sure it's nicer than I imagine it is.
Water buffalo meat? Sounds interesting.
I really like the spices they use. I'm not very good at eating red meat though, so yeah, maybe I'd go for one of those vegetable ones.
Well, mum apparently found a cheap place that does that well in the city, so there's another option for us to eat at if Greek and Indian fail us.
If made well, it's really, really, really good stuff. Occasionally it blows the back of your mouth out, but that's half the fun of eating it.
