Mee Siam Singapore

POINT TO PONDER

After sahur, I went to sleep. It was then that I had this weird dream. I dreamt that I was getting married for the second time. In my dream, my current hubby and I were supposedly to be divorced.

My second hubby was a tall, rich guy with quite fairer skin. During the ceremony, I appeared to be confused - thinking about my current hubby, his whereabouts and why did we end up divorce. Pretty sad actually eventhough the second person appeared to be a loving and caring person.

I hope that it will never come true. I am happy the way I am now. We may not be rich but we do get by. That is enough.

INGREDIENTS

2 1/2  cups of chilli boh (dried chilli, onions, garlic and tumeric)
1 cup of dried shrimp
2 tablespoons of shrimp paste ( this is otak udang)
A thumbsized of belacan
2 1/2 scoop of sugar
a pinch of salt


1. Heat the wok and then pour 1/2 cup of oil.
2. Fry the chilli boh, together with the belacan. Once the chilli starts to curdle, then...
3. Add in the shrimp paste.
4. Add in the sugar and salt.
5. Let it boil a bit and then switches off the stove.
6. Put in a few scoops of the mixture into a different bowl. This could be the additional sauce.

4. Pour in the tamarind juice.
5. Add in the prawns, coconut milk, the earlier cooked chilli and  sugar.

MY THOUGHTS
My hubby does not quite like it. He prefers Mee Siam Berkuah. However, my second son seems to enjoy it.

Well, I cannot definitely make everyone happy.
