Cantonese Yee Mee

Cantonese Yee Mee. Chinese style noodle dish. Another variety to Chinese style cooking (Teochew Steamed Fish, Sichuan Chilli Prawns & Cantonese Fried Rice) noodles. Trust me, Chinese and their noodle dishes. Oh-my! They sure have it and know it and there's abundance of varieties and also each to its own meaning. I certainly can't nail why and what are the significance of the noodles dishes, but I sure am aware that Chinese and they eat for prosperity, longevity, happiness and what not (Chinese Chicken Noodle Soup, Lam Mee & Chinese Vegetarian Noodle Soup). What about Cantonese Yee Mee, are you asking me? Well, I cant say much. Must be some sort of significance as well or its just the Chinese noodle dish pleasure (Penang Curry Mee, Penang Assam Laksa & Penang Mee Yoke).


Cantonese Yee Mee for you information is my favourite as well. I just so love it and whenever I am at the Chinese noodle stalls, I can't resist Cantonese Yee Mee. I too love any kinda of Chinese soupy or wet noodles compared to the dried or stir fried ones (Char Kway Teow, Hokkien Mee, Chow Mein & Hakka Noodles) which by far seemingly my other half-half lovingly will tuck in. Anyway, instead of heading to the Chinese stalls and for ensuring that my other half-half can savour into too, I made this halal version. My other half-half and pork? Its a big no. Thus, a seafood version had to the best. How do we make Cantonese Yee Mee? Get ready the ingredients as listed below, including the coiled brown crunchy noodles, known as yee mee or ye mein, and the rest will will fall in place if you follow my recipe. Yee Mee soaking in a thick prawn based broth (Prawn Noodle Soup) and seafood and mustard green for completing Cantonese Yee Mee as a fantastic and satisfying Chinese noodle dish.

1/2 liter prawn
3-4 fish balls - cut into two

    This looks like what we can 'sheng mee' in our local chinese zi char stalls. Some parts are crispy, some parts soft and wet (due to the stock).

    Yee mee looks like one complete meal! It has got eggs, noodles, greens, meat - wow!! Looks very delicious, fresh and perfectly exhibited. Love the poached egg on the top, ohh they taste perfect!
    Kinda reminds me of chopsuey recipe, only that this is liquidy! Also love the simple seasoning! Good that you guys get such complete meal in coffee shops, here we get only bakery items and sandwiches other than coffees in Coffee shops!
    Also nice clicks.

    I love reading your writing, I always happy when got the opportunity to visit you here, you are always honest in portraying the reality of everyday life experienced by the people of Malaysia when it comes to what we eat ... I agree with you, If it's not rice, it has to be noodles ... and the creativity of someone like you that will bring a dish to the lowest place or to the top.

    Neeva, I have seen that you always put every dish is its most glorious place! I can feel the honesty in all that you have cooked and served to the family and all of us here ... I have to learn this from you ...

    May you be blessed with all things good. Neeva, happy sharing!

Malaysian Sodhi (Indian Coconut Milk Stew)

Sodhi. Coconut milk infused and laced ( Shrimp Coconut Milk ) Indian coconut stew. In fact, sodhi is the branching of  Masak Lemak ( Vegetarian Malay Spinach Coconut Stew ), or vice-versa or whichever. Sodhi is definitely a popularity amongst the Indians and without a doubt, in my house as well. Sodhi is usually drenched over rice, and eaten alongside side dishes. Trust me, nothing like sodhi soaking or flooding up your rice and then, using your hands for mushy-mushy diving inside eating style. Sodhi. Like, every once a week in my house. In other words, a regularity and it is a dish that can be put up effortlessly. Needless to say, easy cooking and mind you, there are other variances of sodhi too, which I have already shared before ( Malu Kirata , Kiri Hodi , Prawn Sodhi & Cabbage Sodhi ). This latest sodhi? Basically, the humble, basic simplicity, but why a Malaysian Sodhi? Well, Cooked by this “The Crazy Lover” who is a typical, true and true Malaysian, and cooked in her, most o

Mochakottai Karuvadu Kulumbu (Field Beans Salted Fish Curry)

Look at this earthen pot and in it thick, salty, spicy and vibrantly exciting to our palates and eyes  Mochakottai Karuvadu Kulumbu (Field Beans Salted Fish Curry). Like immediately can trigger our hunger throne right? I know. I am definitely a big fan of this Indian style salted fish curry and salted fish on the whole by itself ( Spicy Ikan Bilis Potato , Sambal Tumis Ikan Bilis  &  Sambal Kentang Ikan Asin ), can drive me crazy because I so love saltiness. In fact, every day can be a salted fish meal day for me ( Salted Fish Pickle , Bean Sprouts Salted Fish  & Steamed Pork Salted Fish ). But, I think we all know it? Too much of saltiness and salt can ruin our health? Of course. Then again, there is such a thing as every now and then saltiness as our best friend? How do make this salted fish curry? Nothing much, no major confusing cooking matter ( Salted Fish Bone Curry ). My recipes as always will never cause you to struggle in the kitchen. Ingredients listed below

Restoran Orkid Thai - Section 9, Shah Alam

By the third day, Iphone 7 started showing its dark side. Really a terrifying-horrible shocking discovery, it kept rebooting every now and then for no apparent reason. Obviously, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Duh! Its a brand new phone I paid from  my savings ( Da De Bak Kut Teh Subang Jaya ), never ever have I encountered such a problem with my previous faithfully yours 6 year old Iphone 5. Absolutely heart wracking, I really couldn’t find the time ( Karaikudi Chicken Curry & Fikcles Cafe Taman Tun ) to rush to the service centre amidst the busyness of getting ready for the family wedding and another travel venture ( Oats Fried Prawn s ). Keeping my fingers crossed, hoping it’s just a minor teething problem, I went ahead with shopping nearby Plaza Shah Alam and Plaza Masalam. Accompanied by my niece, we bought a couple of things and then of course, naturally, shopping is more or less regarded as synonymous with hunger throne.
