THE HALAL BOYS - ONE DISH MASSACRE

The Halal Boys sat bang opposite our hotel. So it was only fair we sampled what was on offer. And surprisingly there was just one dish on offer, made three ways. It was meat served over a bowl of basmati rice with a white and red sauce and some lettuce. It was more like gyro over rice. And three ways meant three choices of meat, viz. Chicken, Lamb or Half and Half. That was it. And yet, it tasted fantastic. The white sauce was basically mayonnaise, the red was a house-made blend of hot sauce, and the meat was boiled. A few days into the trip, this became our comfort food. It’s not enough to fill up you up for a meal, but good enough to keep you going before dinner. After a long day of sightseeing, before you headed out for dinner, a Bintang beer and a bowl of The Halal Boys was all your evening could ask for.
