Return of the toast mayai!

In another life, walking down (or is it up?) K Street was an absolute pleasure. It was the cream event after pulverizing your pocket money in a single drinking spree. The cops were our friends; They knew to leave the rowdy young men alone. The defining moment was spending the last 30/= eating a juicy toast mayai. This was a gourmet dish. The Kamau or Njuguna at the pans would simply ask:
Ngapi?
That would mean how many eggs do you want in your toast mayai.

Then these guys disappeared. Until last Wednesday.

Last Wednesday:

No prizes for guessing that the action was going down in Tropez. Smirnoff Black ice is every drinking man's friend (or what was she drinking?). A beautiful woman decided that she could as well open her blouse a couple of buttons down and adjust her bra in full view of the public. Those who were sleeping opened their eyes in dramatic fashion as if a large dose of adrenalin had just been pumped into their system. Next she jumped to the non-existent floor and pulled some beautiful moves ....

Si you open your blouse again?

What do you think?
You just dont kid with some people. For about 2 seconds she pulled the blouse open again.
She left before I could ask the next question. I just love this Tropez place.

3AM (again) me, Kamikaze and the doc are stumbling out. Next stop, Kenchic for greasy, charcoal-like chicken. Just where doc is parked, Njuguna is back with tasty toast mayai!!
Unbelievable.
We immediately forget that Kenchic and their lousy chicken exist and fire rapid orders.

Mayai Ngapi? They have added one word.

4 for 0.5. Screw cholesterol and heart attacks that might occur in 2050.
The quality has not changed one bit.

I might be there again today.

Toast mayai used to be a nice way to end a night of pynts until Njuguna/Kamau disappeared. Nice to know he has resurfaced. Before toast mayai was some massive 50/= samos from F3. But those samos had nothing on toast mayai.

But what I keep wondering is what the doc was thinking about the first time he got toast mayai. As in he was just walking down K street, saw a guy with a stove and decided to stop and try whatever the guy was making? I will make a point of asking him how it all began the next time I see him.
