Prawn mee (Shrimp mee) - A bowl of yellow alkaline noodles and mee hoon (rice vermicelli) in a spicy hot soup with half a hard boiled egg, a few small prawns, a few slices of pork and a few strands of water spinach (kang kung) is sure to wake one up for the day. For those who prefers it to be more spicy, sambal chilli is provided too.
Pan mee (板面) - is a fresh noodle made on the spot using wheat flour and egg. Usually they are served with pork and fried anchovies, mushroom and Sauropus androgynus (cekur manis) vegetable but the one shown above is served with chinese spinach and black chinese fungus.
As the noodles are made on the spot, there is a choice of thin round, thick flat or just pieces of dough. Here I chose to have thin noodles which I find is not as chewy as pieces of dough.
Nothing beats rounding up breakfast with a hot cup of coffee or tea. Here is a cup of Hainan tea (strong Hainan tea with a bit of coffee in it). A few days ago when it was still 2013, it costs MYR1.5 a cup but now it costs MYR1.6 which is an increment of around 6%.
So far, those pan mee i eat, have not come across with black chinese fungus....
ReplyDeleteUsually the pan mee comes with black chinese mushroom instead, I know.
DeleteI love noodles especially the soup type.
ReplyDeleteGood to know that.
DeleteHow nice, I don't have the luxury to have this in France.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is nice we can still afford to eat like this.
DeleteOh sorry, what I mean is it is nice that there are places selling affordable noodles early in the morning for breakfast.
