My previous posting on Puchong Kolo Mee suddenly became a hit. Within a week, friends of B.I. had had two breakfast sessions that became a mini-gathering. The second session was on Nov 8th, during the Deepavali holiday.
Like our Indian friends who grew up with roti canai, chicken curry & rice and muruku, we Dayaks grew up knowing kolo mee as our default choice from the menu when we’re out of idea of what to eat. We have kolo mee for breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. It’s a meal that’s filling, available everywhere in any coffee shops, and also it’s cheap.
The most important thing, the breakfast session binds friends together into a close-knit community especially when we’re living far away from home.
Indeed friends of B.I. proved that Malaysian spirit of muhibah can exist if we really want to make it work. We have our Muslim Bidayuh and Malay friends joining us in the breakfast session indulged on their nasi lemak, bihun goreng and bihun sup in one table with us. Truly a testimony of tolerance and common understanding.
