mee goreng reminds me of the taste of malaysia, the 'mamak' stall in KL. If I remember clearly it tastes spicy and oily. This is one of the popular menu of the 'mamak'. They do offer 'Roti Canai', 'Teh Tarik' and etc.
I have not had this mee goreng for ages. I'm not really crave for mee goreng but I just can't believe I can do mee goreng. (obviously it is easy to cook)
28 dec was my first attempt for cooking mee goreng. well, again a success story!
(the reason why I say it is another success story because I am not a good cook but I am determined to make things happen and better.)
and now, I think I love mee goreng (the mamak style). It also because I have made a wonderful dinner for my little girl and my sweet heart.
I feel so great!.
