Prawn Noodles @ Sang Har Mee
I couldn’t resist of not buying prawn if I saw it in the market. I love prawns and I love to eat it and cook it in anyway. There are so many types of prawns in the market… ming har, sang har, hoi har, lou fu har…. I don’t really bother as long as it is fresh. Last week bought a kilo of prawns and it is quite big and got to divide it for 3 cooking. Dearie Suki get bored with buttered prawn, Marmite prawn and sweet sour prawn. So the big prawns I bought ended up used in cooking with wantan noodles.
The Sang Har Mee that I love most is the one from Greenview, PJ but dining there is no longer cheap and just a plate of it can cost about RM100. Everything is expensive now but nothing can be compare to our own home cooked meals at home… without MSG, less oil, less salt. Dad teach me how to cook this Sang Har Mee and it turned out great, even Dearie Suki and the kids love it.
