鲜奶 Fresh Milk

最喜欢跟妈妈到处找吃的了。休罗街头靠近红毛丹巴士车站那儿，有一间印度人开的‘嘛嘛’店，妈妈一说‘我们喝生牛奶去！’我们就雀跃万分。进入此店，只叫生牛奶，热腾腾的鲜奶用高高的玻璃杯子盛着，妈妈会放一小茶匙的糖下去搅匀，然后将牛奶倒进两个放咖啡的碟子，我与哥哥每人一碟，用小小的瓷匙一匙匙的舀进口中，半温时会生出一层薄薄的膜，据妈妈说此膜是精华，也是好香甜的。有时候，妈妈会叫一块‘母打爸’Mutabat来吃，是一种印度煎饼Roti Canai 的料加入鸡蛋与肉碎和大葱煎成的，煎熟了，切成四四方方的小块，妈妈与孩子三人吃饱了回去不用吃晚饭！

The thing we liked most was following Mamma everywhere finding food to eat. At the head of Hugh Low street near to the Tg Rambutan bus station, there was a Indian Mamak shop, when Mamma chirped, ‘Let’s go for the fresh milk!’ We jumped for joy. As we entered the shop, we ordered fresh milk only, hot milk served in a tall glass, Mamma would put a small teaspoon of sugar in and stirred well, then poured out the fresh milk into two small coffee dishes for my brother and I, with a small porcelain spoon we scooped the fresh milk into our mouth, when the milk cool down a bit a thin film would form on top of the milk, according to Mamma this is the essence of the milk, it tasted good too. Sometimes, Mamma would order a ‘Mutabat’, an Indian pancake Roti Canai mixed with egg and minced meat and onion fried in the big round pan, cut into small square pieces and served, Mamma and her two children filled the stomach and went home without taking supper anymore!
