Mee Rebus is an egg noodle dish that comes with spicy, thick, aromatic gravy, and this man -in his opinion- makes the best "Mee Rebus" in Muar and the whole of Malaysia. His recipe is so tasty that he claims even the current Prime Minister has eaten there, which he proofs with newspaper clippings of his visit, framed on the walls. He is proud of his noodles and is eager to please - even treating us - Phil, Tim, my husband and I - to 2 plates of Mee Rebus, on the house!
I stood infront of the glass panel of his stall and made images of him while he took orders from customers. I noticed that the glass reflected the old shophouses from across the street, which are a key characteristic of this charming old town. So I experimented with the reflections and used them as context to make an interesting portrait of this warm and generous chef. What do you think of this experimental montage?
