Hubby and I hardly eat meesuah as we are not a fan of it. I remembered the last time we ate it was during my confinement month when the confinement lady would cook that for us as breakfast. I once cooked some for Jayden when he was ill, but he didn’t like it either. So the left over packet of meesuah has been lying in the fridge since then.
Recently a dear friend of mine, Ling Nee, shared this homemade recipe with me and I’ve tried it during the weekend with slight modification (the BB’s (my nickname among whatsapps group) way!). Hubby finished the whole bowl and even drank up the last drop of soup. So I thought I must share this great idea with you all, especially those who dislike meesuah-just like me!
