Noodle Soup JB style @ 面面汤 @ Noodle soup

Noodle soup @ JB noodle soup, Yi Jiong mian mian tang...This is my kids' childhood food (Comfort food). They were introduced to this when they were very young, around primary school age. Their Yi ma ans Yi jiong will bring them to JB for a day trip and they first tasted this and loved it. I quickly replicate it at home and it quickly became their often lunch when I was so busy juggling them, house chores and what not. 

It is in a way, a very comforting food..warm, easy and fills the stomach, balance with carb, protein and vitamins.. 

It has been so long since I remember this as these days the 'kids' taste bud level up..was telling no. 2 we shall cook this but just no opportunity.. 

Today, I 'lock' myself home and refrain from going to the market..Rummaged through the fridge and freezer, found all ingredients I can cook this..feeling happy as I am also clearing some food from the fridge..
