Mee Rebus Johor
Now,this is the mee rebus (boiled noodle) I've been craving for a looooong time. If I tell you that I've only taken mee rebus Johor once in my life time, I think you're going to laugh. haha.... But its true ! I often visit to Malay food stalls but not many of them serve this kind of mee rebus. Most Malay food stalls serve only common mee rebus with clear spice soup. The only mee rebus I've tried was at Kluang Rail Kopitiam (Kluang famous coffee shop). Hubby's elder sibling who was from Kluang introduced me to this famous mee rebus dish of the shop. It was sooooo delicious. How could I forget the taste & smell of it. Mee rebus Johor basically is boiled noodle with special rich gravy which consist of certain range of spices. The gravy is simply irresistible. So after google for some time, I finally came out this homemade dish.
