One after work?

One it was, un Guinness and I was off, cutting through China Town. Feeling peckish, I thought I'd check on a cafe a friend recommended. I'd looked for it once before to no avail, but remembered one alley I didn't venture, due to some 3 man blockade and a slight trickle of urine. I knew it, it was up that alley all along, just as I thought. C&R.

My friend's recommendations were Beef Rendeng, Nasi Goreng or Nasi Lemak. I went menu blind as I gazed upon the menu, panicked, then ordered Mee Goreng, grilled dumplings and a Tiger beer. Bad move. Dumplings tasted artificially smoked and the meat hard, more a dumpwürst than a dumpling. The regulars had it right I soon discovered. They were enjoying what I was supposed to order and with water. Next time…
