Mee Hoon Kueh

Got this recipe from my baking frens (Pamela, Kymn and Lydia) in our baking group. Thanks gals for sharing the recipe and advises. It's a holiday, so it's time to cook breakfast. Being bored of preparing same old breakfast every week, i gave it a change since it's Labour day. When I told my boy that I'll be cooking mee hoon kueh for his breakfast, he agreed instead of giving me suprised look! Gosh, what a relief. So I prepared the dough the night before and kept them in fridge.

Mandarin Orange Marmalade

Roast Pork

So happy with my 1st attempt. Bee said no need to buy le, can eat homemade de!

A bit salty though, need to cut down salt le.

And also the skin not crunchy enough, so next day must remember to poke more holes at the rind.

Remarks in blue are the changes i did.
