It's a windy daaayyyyyy!

Happy Wednesday everyone! Just wanted to say a quick hello! I was back in Singapore last weekend celebrating the wedding of my beautiful cousin. Will blog more on that when my sis sends the photos over! I LOVE WEDDINGS! <3

Anw, I experienced my first typhoon on Monday night. Somehow, I was never around for the past few that hit Hong Kong. Amazingly, my plane managed to land in Typhoon No. 8 conditions instead of being diverted to other airports. However, cabs were scarce so I decided to take the MTR and walk home. I didn't know how dangerous it was until I saw some police men clearing huge fallen trees off the road. I even had to crawl under fallen trees on my way back. While walking through the mini-park in front of my house, I was praying that none of the trees would fall on me. Cos if I was trapped, I'd be so dead. When I got back home, Rugrats told me that the wind was so strong, the buildings were shaking like there was an earthquake. It was then I realized that I could have been blown away in the snap of a finger.

Headed to work at noon (yays! got to sleep in!) the next day when the typhoon signal was lowered to a 3. It was a mess outside. My building's main glass door was smashed and there were so many fallen trees and plants scattered all around. It looked like a disaster zone but everyone was just getting on with their life as if nothing ever happened. Haha. For me, it was definitely an interesting experience & I hope this is the closest to a natural disaster that I'd ever get!

Decided to make soup noodles for dinner yesterday. Just a simple light meal for Rugrats & I. I like fuss-free cooking cos I am usually tired after work. But during the weekend, I don't mind spending hours cooking a meal. I just hate washing up! Haha. Anw, will share this quick, lazy person's cheat sheet with you :)

MEE SUA SOUP NOODLES

*Serves 2 (small portions)

2 stalks of bak choy

6 meat balls

4 teochew fish balls

6 slices of beef

1 bunch of mee sua

500ml of chicken stock

Seasoning

2 teaspoon of chinese wine

1 teaspoon of fish oil

1 teaspoon of pepper

1. Pour the chicken stock into a pot. Add the seasoning and bring to boil.
Note: The longer you boil, the more flavorful it gets. I left it boiling for 15-20 mins.

2. Add in the meat balls and fish balls into the stock and boil for another 5-10 mins.

3. Blanch the beef slices in the soup until it is no longer red. Put it into the serving bowl.

4. Add the bak choy into the pot and boil for another 2 mins.

5. Remove all the ingredients in the pot and place it in the serving bowl.

6. Add in the mee sua into the soup and cook for 2 mins.

7. When cooked, move the noodles into the serving bowl.

8. Pour the soup into the serving bowl. Garnish and enjoy!
