Oh I love mee siam, it's one of my fav malay dish :p after soto ayam :p
That mee siam without hum is really the joke of the century, but look deeper and it gets real sad. Ok, we know that our PM was referring to laksa, but the thing is, how can one mix up laksa with mee siam??
That reminded me of the time I was at Rasa and having breakfast. For their buffet spread, they have the standard western stuff and asian dish, one of the asian dish was laksa. It seems like laksa, but on closer look, it's actually mee siam with laksa gravy, that's what the hotel did to get rid of leftovers and to cheat the angmos.
I'm a singaporean, I grew up with all these food, I'm not bluffed.
So why did our PM mix the two up? Maybe coz with his 5-digit monthly salary, he only ate laksa at Rasa and so he thought that's the real thing? Or with his fat salary, he's not bothered about mee siam or laksa at all. Hey, if I earn so much every month, I would go for my foie gras and wagyu, what laksa? Unless it's lobster laksa of course.
That's how disconnected our leaders are, to the point that they cannot even differentiate two of our staple dish. It's sad.. really sad.. Mee siam mai hum.. Can I have teh-o mai teh??
