Mee Siam - Singapore style

It's been a long week and I am so glad that the weekend has finally arrived. My ADSL connection has been a total let down! The crawling speed was worse than a dial-up! It appeared that there were some problems with the Dlink wireless modem, which was pronounced dead this afternoon when B tried to upgrade the software in an attempt to resolve the internet issue. T__T We bought a new router-modem today and the internet connection seemed to have improved but still not very stable.

A lot of things have happened over the week but that will be story for another time. Let's move on to more interesting stuff shall me? Food always excites me and I hope you share my sentiments.

Today I am going to share with you one of my Singapore hawker favorites - mee siam. Don't confuse this with the mee siam we have in Malaysia that is stir-fried and dried. This is the "wet" version of rice vermicelli in a sweet and sour tangy gravy with a hint of spiciness. It is a very appetizing dish, just writing this post is enough to make my salivary glands kick into overdrive.

Thanks to Prima Taste (again!), I could have this whipped up in 15 minutes time. Click here for the cooking instructions of mee siam from Prima Taste.

Besides mee siam, I have also tried Prima Taste's Hainanese Chicken Rice and Curry Chicken, both of which I highly recommend. I am going to stock up more Prima Taste "ready-to-cook sauce kits" next weekend, will probably try out their mee rebus and prawn mee. I'll be back with reviews!
