Just in case you're wondering whether the snob family only eats at those establishment, we do eat at Indonesian food too. Here is the Indonesian version of lohmie compared to the darker cousin in Singapore.
While waiting for our orders to came out, some guy in a bike was driving past the store when he suddenly stopped infront of the stall, climbed down from the bike, kept his jacket and immediately started deboning the chicken. Wait a minute, he didnt wash his hands? The sink was just like 4metres away!!!
On a separate note, we ordered lohmie from the neighbour stall afew weeks back and while we were walking there, there were 2 guys sitting on the table presumably customers touching their feet. Now, i dont know what's with the indonesian's obsession with taking off their footwear and touching their feet, but its ridiculously unhygienic and disgusting. Anyway, before i know it, one of the guys turned out to be the owner of the store and promptly started slicing and dicing our order without washing his hands. Now, thats sick. If i dont regularly eat at these kinds of place this is the rational.
Anyway, the food came and the lohmie was sweeter than the ones i had in Singapore. It was good enough that i ate it up quite quickly and was hungry for more. The chicken was also sweet, probably due to the marinade.
Its on the Mangga Besar 1 road, and beside Alphamart
the american kids here like to take off their footwear and touch their toes and feet too; and then go on to eat. i am absolutely appalled. its so gross. i dont understand why fingers must touch feet!!! if youre fidgety, twiddle your thumbs or something!!!
