Hmmm the more I think, the more I realized I really enjoy my student days in my primary school. Apart from the awesome multiracial environment my school had successfully instilled in every one of us, I really missed my canteen food. It is nothing fancy or expensive but who says both of these qualities make good food?
The food was mostly spicy and I did not acquire a taste for hot burning food until I totally adapted my taste buds after 1 year of schooling. I never liked spicy food before I was enrolled into the primary school. I can’t even tolerate a single slice of cut chilies but for some reasons, I managed to pull it through in the end. I will never forget the Sambal bread I used to buy from the canteen. In those days, bread was really cheap and Roti Sambal only cost me 20 cents per bun.
It was pretty large for a kid and the fragrance from the sambal is seriously irresistible. The moment you place that bread in your eternal tunnel, it just melts together with the hot sensation emitted from the hidden potential of the burning sambal. I don’t think I can taste it again because the makcik who sold the bread has retired and she was already very old at that time. I last ate the bread 16 years ago when I turned 12.
