Review
This recipe might look very complicated, but in reality it isn’t at all. Even people like me, who are terrible at baking and cooking, can still make this taste good! It roughly takes 40-50 minutes to prepare the whole meal. You can control the spiciness of this dish by adding chilli flakes according to your own demand. If you have a soft spot for spicy food, you’ll definitely love this a lot. The chilli flakes are made especially for this dish, its spiciness provides a strong kick and it tastes really good!
Besides that, it tastes just as good as the Chilli Pan Mee sold in various stalls all over the KL, and sometimes even better! ;) If you’re on diet and are concerned about having a meal high in calories, you can always decrease the amount of meat and add more vegetable to suit your diet so you won’t feel guilty about your diet plan after consuming big bowls of these noodles.
This is a perfect meal to make as it doesn’t take long and can be cooked in portions enough for your whole family. To top it off, it’s much healthier compared to junk food and fast food!
