Dinner at Siblings's Gathering-Takeaway food

Continuing from previous posting, we had such heavy tea break snacks that we decided to eat only noodles for dinner. These are what we bought.

This is the traditional way of wrapping noodles in palm leaves. The palm leaves gave extra flavour to the noodles. But modernization had overtake the traditional way of wrapping food. The noodles nowadays are wrapped in plastic sheets and put in cardboard boxes.

But palm leaves are slowly making its way back here. Over at this zi char (means stir fry) stall at Block 203 Toa Payoh North, they are wrapping the noodles the traditional way and the queue is so scary.

If you go before 6 pm during weekends, the queue is about 1 hour but at 6 pm, it could be 2 hours or more. So we send my second sister and her hubby on a mission to get these noodles before 6 pm...lol

Mee Hoon (Rice Vermicelli)

Kway Teow (fried flat noodles)

Noodles with lots of ingrdients (eg. squid, prawns, meat, pig's stomach)

Oh this is so unhealthy but we do eat it once a while. It is Lard and was fried till very very crispy. They are to be eaten with the above noodles, mee hoon and hor fun. I dont eat these lard now because of heath conscious but at times like this, I do fall to temptation...lol
