Makan Ala Warung Dalam Rumah

Perencah Nasi Goreng Ala Warung by Maggi is certainly an irony. A mockery of the phrase “home-cooked goodness” that a lot of people have been using all these while to illustrate how sedap home-cooked meals are.  

Alright of course some warung food are hands-down more delicious than home-cooked food, I said SOME ok, SOME, but that’s of course after they’ve been flavored with generous amount of MSG, god -knows-how-many-spoons garam, cheap cooking oil and unwashed kuali. Of cos la sedap!

But we often say, there’s nothing like meal prepared at home by mom. But what if your mom or wife uses Maggi’s Perencah Nasi Goreng Ala Warung to masak nasi goreng like the ones you eat dekat kedai? And you say, “Weh sedap gila mak / bini aku masak nasi goreng macam dekat warung!!”. Or, "Bie, sedap gila awak masak macam dekat warung!". I'd be somewhat offended.

Weird eh. Weird. The act of cooking at home has lost its novelty. You are supposed to say, “Mak / bini aku masak nasi goreng sedap gila! Tak boleh dapat dekat mana-mana, serious!”

Takat nak makan nasi goreng macam dekat warung tapi makan dekat rumah, gi warung tapau ah wehh. Takyah buang gas dapur.

Hihihi.
