Curry Chicken Mee Sua - Flame Me Up More!


The weather is a killer here for the past few days. Sparse clouds in the skies while Mr Sun rays as fierce as he pleases. It did rain but really, the droplets evaporated quickly away as soon as they touched the ground. It might be a warm afternoon but I still craved for a bowl of flaming spicy curry. Maybe all the perspiration from eating that could cool me down... This reminded me of my friend who felt that people should eat ice-cream on cold winter nights. 

Mee Sua again! I will never grow tired of it because it is such a comfort food. It took me 1 hour to plan my Curry Mee Sua recipe and off I was to buy all the ingredients. The total cost wasn't cheap but such craving comes just once in a blue moon... As health doesn't really permit, I had to come up with the healthier version.
OH MY LOVE!
