One of my favorite comfort food is Prawn Mee (or Hokkien Mee to Penangites) in Malaysia. While my mother's Pan Mee still top my list but a piping hot bowl of Hokkien Mee comes to a close second. It makes it even better when the Hokkien Mee is prepared by my mom on a rainy day.When it's raining outside, as it has been for a week and a half in Malaysia, outdoor activities takes a rain check while indoors becomes a perfect brewing pot for interesting conversations. Imagine slurping noodles swimming in an intensely flavored broth made from pork bones, shrimps and spices, while talking about ...everything and nothing at all. :)
I need to ask mom for her recipe. Staring at that picture is just making me hungry all over again!

You are killing me and now I want one, too. By the way, recently, I bought a Penang Hokkien Mee maggie (brand Ibumie) and I tell you, it's sooooo darn close to the real thing. I slurped it up.
