Mee Rebus
Translated into English, the dish means simply 'boiled noodles' - but this is a misleading name. The dish is anything but mere boiled noodles. It is yellow egg noodles in a thick, spicy and slightly sweet gravy, garnished elaborately with boiled eggs, sliced green chillies, fried cubes of beancurd and fresh calamansi. Some people add a dash of dark soy sauce as a finishing touch.
Mee Rebus is a fine example of fusion cuisine. The egg noodles, beancurd and dark soy sauce are Chinese while the gravy carries the combined influences of Indian and Malay cuisine, with its curry-like flavour and use of dried shrimp and tamarind.
