Noodle Week # 2 : Mee Goreng (Malay Seafood Noodles)

Whenever I order takeaway food from Tze Char stall, my most frequent orders are Hor Fun and Mee Goreng. Hor Fun for the kids and Mee Goreng just for myself! hahaha....Not really satisfy with the taste of this Mee Goreng, still need some fine tuning on the seasoning. I've reduced the amount of chilli paste to suit my kids so is not spicy enough for me. Though taste is not up to my standard, but my man and kids happily polished them up without any negative feedbacks. ^0^ Maybe next round I will just cook 2 adult servings spike with more chilli paste *.*

Lots of ingredients! Noodle and beansprouts not in picture :D
