Mee Goreng

Category: Recipe

How does that look for a home-made Mee Goreng? It still doesn’t taste as authentic as the Indian-style Mee Goreng as you get from the hawker centres in Singapore, unfortunately. But when the craving gets in the way, I do what I can. It was finished in just 2 days, so I guess it is palatable.

The recipe was taken off the Internet with some improvisation on my part.
