(OOO! She likes my Prints!)Moi soup is actually rice gruel sprinkled with shredded chicken meat and some 'ikan bilis' or fried herrings, usually a sprinkle of red pepper and shredded pickled cabbage is also added and all these makse up a steamy bowl of Moi Soup. The Japanese has Miso soup for breakfast and this is too is quite a healthy breakfast just like Moi Soup which starts off the day by tyaking it easy on your stomach linings as opposed to when you go for a hefty plate of fried rice or fried Koa Teow, or a plate of Nasi Lemak basked with hot spicy Ikan Bilis paste. This would be like burning away a part of sromach linnings juast like puorinf down liquid Draino down the sink or toilet bowl. However these are a few of Malaysians' typical breakfast of champions whic includes Nasi lemak the favorite among Malays, Nasi kandar, everyone's favorite in Penang, Nasi Goreng or Mee, Beehoon and Koa Teow Goreng, Roti Canai bathed with excessive amount of Dal curry. In the East Coast Nasi Dagang replaces nasi Lemak but the spicy effect of the curry is equally toxic to the stomach, how we fill our tank
s with all these assorted dishes and not have ulcers at an early age is a miracle of life itself.
Most westerners would envy us our choices fro this first meal of the day whch incidentaly usually is all washed down with a tall glass of 'Teh Tarik' or a cup of Nescafe half filled with condensed milk. It is sacrileage, the things we ingest so early in the morning before our stmoach even had a chance to recuperate from last night's bombardment of 'roti nan with cheese and Tandoori Chicken at the El Kapitan's! But we Malaysians have ceveloped by sheer necessity cast -iron stomachs from our early age, from the day our mothers decided that we were ready for her specialty, curry kepala ikan or the infamous fish head curry and from that day onwrds we became suckered into cravings for 'Alagappa's Spice' products of various contoction, Beaf curry powder, chicken curry powder, mutton curry powder, dalca, kurma' fish curry powders and what would we do without these? Through out our gormet history our taste buds has been influenced or even corrupted by the various combinations of curry powders handed down for generations and seasoned to our taste today.
Whether Malays, Chinese or Indians or the various other denominations that makes up this nation, we all are guilty of subjecting our stomachs to the torture of poor choice of breakfast and we love it! We walk around with hearburns and indigestion the rest of the morning but we will have it no other ways. The Breakf
ast of Champions for Malaysians, Dont LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT!
