Mi Kopyok, warming you up

It seems that Semarang people have got a lot of influence from Chinese food. Mie or noodles is Chinese-everyday-menu. Kopyok or scrambled is the way to serve the food. I can find some street vendors selling from one kampong to another from morning to afternoon. This kind of food can replace breakfast menu or lunch. Last time, I found one when I was about to buy my lunch. Actually, I felt reluctant to go out since there was a heavy cloud. Thanks God, the seller looked to find a shelter and we-my workmate and I were starving. God always sets the right situation at the right time.
