Exactly what is it about Van Merah?

Hehe...

There's this nasi lemak stall which I like to frequent most as I think their nasi lemak are the bestest here in BBS...

I love it with sambal sotong and hubs prefers rendang.

The lady boss would regconize us the moment we walk by her stall and she would automatically peel 1 whole 'telur rebus' for me, then my nasi lemak would go with 'tak mau kacang', 'tak mau sambal' and 'timun lebih'...I like it simple & nice...

This stall has been here for almost 10 years plus...most probably...

We have been eating nasi lemak from this stall since the co. I work with first moved here. We can have it for almost everyday...cos it taste so good...

And when my bro inlaw join our company...I recommended him to 'makan' from this stall. He, of course, fell in love straingt away. He, too, will have himself a pack of nasi lemak for breakfast...every morning.

I remembered asking him, "You sick also still eat nasi lemak meh?"...

(he was on MC the day before...but he still won't give up of it)

The lady & her hubby that own this stall...they have kids...I think they have more than 4 kids. Cos we would see her kids come helping during school holidays...
Her eldest girl went to a boarding school so she hardly comes home.

And her chubby cutie 2nd son was merely about 10-11 years old then.

Well, time sure flies...as they are all grown up now (so do us)

You would see the chubby little fella got himself a driving license and have been cruising round & about together with his mom nowadays...in their brand new Toyota MPV...

They still help around the stall these days...and when the lady got themselves a 'spot' at this warong kopi nearby and they created their own favourite corner for customers to 'makan' & 'minum'. It has been a favourite for the people working nearby and myself & hubs too.

Recently...she moved away...and I didn't even know where has they gone...As for the fav spot...someone else are selling there now...I asked the new nasi lemak guy as where's this kakak moved to...he said, "tak tau lah..."

Sigh...too bad...we lost them...

It was when last Wednesaday after sending beilou off to kindie when I saw a newly opened nasi lemak stall nearby.

I didn't notice that it was all the while that the 'Van Merah' lady been selling there...

So they shifted back to their old 'spot' once again but not with 'Van Merah' this time.

Without any doubt...I went to get myself a nice pack of nasi lemak...

And I've asked them why did they moved...

(kakak) "taukeh ambil balik kedai lah"...

(me) "oh...iya ke..."

(me) "I pun tak perasan lah u ada kat sini"

(kakak) "iya lah, skrang van merah dah takde, orang tak kenal...

dia orang kenal van merah aja"

(me) "haha...iya lah tu...kasi kreta baru cat merah lah..."

(kakak) " eh!...tak cantik lah tuuu..."

Hahaha...'trademark' ler tuuuu...
