That's the sound of me, arriving at Chinese Noodle Restaurant (Shop 7, 8 Quay St.), in Sydney's Chinatown/Haymarket district. Two years I'd waited, eight thousand miles I'd traveled, to feast upon my beloved #4 pork noodle combo. Instead I found the following handwritten sign:
"Dear Customers, We will be closed...for kitchen renovation. We apologize for any inconvienience" The restaurant was scheduled to re-open the day after I returned home. What the hell was I going to do?
The answer, it turned out, was drown my sorrows in roti and cendol (an addictive concoction of coconut milk, palm sugar, and rice flour jelly) at Mamak, a newish, affordable Malaysian restaurant down the street. And it was good. So good, I returned three times in as many days. As the song goes, "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with."
