Firstly, my uncle and family from Singapore came for 'qing ming' which is earlier as usual. So after visiting the graves, we went for breakfast together and after two hours, we went for lunch, eat again.@@ Everyone was complaining they were still full but what to do, they have to rush back to Singapore. Hence, early lunch at Reagent Restaurant near my house.
Other than those above, we still have a soup and one whole huge plate of chicken. @@ FYI, the portion above is for 11 people ya!
As for dinner, my cousin sister who went to Tokyo Japan to further her studies had came home safely a day before and my uncle wanted to treat all of us for a dinner. My cousin sister said the situation there is actually not as serious as what that had been reported in local newspapers. It was pretty calm in Tokyo . Only the northern part and southern part of Japan where it was hit by earthquake and tsunami the situation was pretty bad. She even said everyone in Tokyo is trying to save electricity so those affected areas will have sufficient electricity.
Another round of food food food!
My aunt even bought a cake for her. haha
Picture with baby again! =) =)
Then comes Sunday lunch where all of us in my family work together in order to make 'Pa Mee' which is homemade egg noodle in Hing Hua dialect. I am telling you, making homemade noodle is serious business and you needs lots of stamina and patience.
Who said men can not cook? haha. Everyone including my dad helped! =p
After rolling, squeezing, flattening and cutting the noodles for an hour or so, we finally managed to make mee that can feed up to 20 people! haha
Some were cooking in the pot already..=)
All our hard work!!!
The end result, my grandmother's specialty that was passed on to my mum = Pa Mee!
Nothing beats homemade noodle where it is springy and had absorbed all the wonderful soup with no trace of MSG at all.=p Slurrrpsss. It is a once in a while thing as too much of hard work required, or shall I say manpower? keke
Other than Mee we will have Siew Yuk, Roasted Chicken and Steamed Chicken..
Roasted Pork! Awesome thing!
This! Is the best sauce ever. It is a coriander oyster sauce based chili paddy shallots sauce. It goes really well with the noodle o! =)
So what do you think? Did we ate our hearts out last weekend? Definitely!! One fine day I will master the homemade noodle making skills! That will be my life long goal in order to pass on the Pa Mee tradition. Well, in the past, my Ah Ma used to sell Mee, like the ones that we made.So every one once in a while, my grandma will cook Pa Mee and ask us to come over to eat. Me and my brothers love to eat my Ah Ma's mee as we had been eating it since we were a kid. Ever since my Ah Ma had passed away, this noodle making tradition had been passed on to my mum and my aunty. So therefore once in a blue moon when my mum's mood is good, she would ask all of us to help her to make noodle. The next person to master this art? Who else but me and my brothers? haha. Yeap. I had written down the recipe and practiced it a few times with my mum watching us like a hawk. So wish me luck people! =p Who knows i will be a noodle master in the future!
Lub lub fella and lubo lubo fella came all the way from KL to visit Seremban also o! haha.
In a nutshell, nothing beats eating home cook food, especially those that we had been eating since young. =)
