Yummy Mee Siam

My favourite dishes.

1)Chicken rice
2)Hor Fun
3) Mee Siam

Chicken rice you think very easy to cook. Ya alot of stalls sell chicken rice but good ones are hard to find. Even those very popular and appeared on tv, I tried also not very nice. I prefer roast chicken than white and being influenced by my mum I hate breast meat. We love to suck on the bones, don't like the meaty feeling. In SG you eat chicken till you are sick. In Taiwan i can eat chicken for every meal and crave for more. Think the chicken in SG very lousy quality.

Hor Fun, fried kway teow cooked with prawns, squid, pork and chye sim. For $3-$4 you can have a filling meal compared to a measly bowl of wanton mee. For a good hor fun, they kway teow must be fried till there's soya sauce smell and the seafood must be fresh. Added a little green chili to accentuate the taste and you have an appetising hor fun.

Mee Siam. I don't know the orgin whether from Malays or Indians. Its fried beehoon with a hot and spicy gravy topped with an egg. Simple dish eh. WRONG! the more simple dish the more diffcult it is to prepare. My mum always say the mee siam outside lacked standards. The gravy is less thick and more sourish as more assam being used.

Criteria for good mee siam.
Gravy must be thick with lots of peanuts, and taste sour, hot and spicy.

I love sour food so Mee Siam is one of my liking.

Can't remember when I started eating Mee Siam and how my mum learnt to cook Mee Siam. But my Mum's Mee Siam is the best in the world !!!

Tasted and Proven by my relatives and friends.

The Qi Ji franchise selling Mee Siam, Nasi Lemak and Poh Piah also not bad.
The Poh Piah is damn good. Always ordered at Sim Lim Square food court before they had franchise. But damn exp for 1 roll.
