I was born and bred in JB, the southern state of Malaysia. and i grew up with certain food and taste. one of which is Hwa Mui's hokkien mee. those who have tasted it would probably agree that it is the most original - wrapped in flat clear plastic and newspaper and the best in town!
And back when Hardy and I were dating (those lovey dovey days), one of our eating places was at this one place called Group Base. yes, its a weird name for a eating place (mind you it took me several attempts to recall the name after gueeses such as garupa and seabass!).
They've got quite nice hokkien noodles there. the sauce were really thick black and everything was balanced. i quite like it. but you'd really need to tuck those paper napkins in your collars if you order the dish!
Anyway, last weekend was my attempt to try out this favourite noodles of mine. quite far from hwa mui's, close to group base's but jadilaaa for the 2 of us who are far from our previous base.
HOKKIEN NOODLES
4 packets of Udon Noodles

2. Boil udon noodles and once ready set aside.
3. Heat oil in wok, and add in garlic.
