ok. made the soya bean sprouts again. this time it's not lame or overcooked, so much better!

actually made fish ball soup with dodo fish balls and teochew bak yee (both dodo brand). put the soya bean in the soup but the soup tastes a bit bland until i added the remainder of the macaroni soup.

i can just eat soup and rice with sng mi chou (teochew garlic chilli vinegar sauce mix).

Dinner - tom yum fried rice
the pic may not look like much, but the taste was super!
we used leftover cooked lemongrass chicken (which was too salty) and it added to the flavours of tom yum! also added holly farm tom yum paste.

Tom Yum Paste Mix:
- tom yum red paste (holly farm)

- galangal, 

- serai, 

- limau purut, 

- chillipadi - more green than red (can mix with bigger & less spicy chillis)

- onion, garlic, 

- sugar, 

- fish sauce, 

- lime juice

you can fry the rice with any ingredient. just have eggs and a mixture of your fav or leftover meats, seafood, veggies and even toufu. if you like tom yum and fried rice, this won't go wrong Lol

top with crispy fried shallots, cut fresh chillipadi and fresh lime!
