Mee Goreng ~ Mamak Style

There's a tad different between the way the Indians and the Malays goreng their mee. Much so is seen in their COLOUR. The Indians are uber RED with colouring! But that's their trademark, I presume??? I'd prefer the Malay version better coz when you tell them "Cik, buat pedas, basah" (Aunty, make it spicier and wetter, not too dry)... They'll do a mean hotty for you! I've yet to come across an Indian version which might match the spiciness there.

Anyhow, I yearn for some Mee Goreng Mamak tonight. Why don't I just buy if you might ask??? Well, I eat like a pig and "B's" a BIGGER pig than me. So, we need to buy several packets to satisfy I piggy-ness PLUS other sides. Hah!!! Than, it'll be spending money not worth it. I might just as well get the raw ingredients and cook them myself. And of course, I made it!!! Here's my version of the old favourites ~ Mee Goreng Mamak. Wooohooo!!!
