Special street food for the lunch on the weekend, since we stay home for the entire morning, i have extra little time making this noodle. This is basically a unique street food that you can actually found in every corner of Penang streets. The broth is made by shrimps and some herbs, however i just use the instant sauce with some additional jobs to complete this soup.
The authentic Hokkien mee with some common side dishes ready on top, such as five spice eggs, pork slices, water spinach (kangkung), bean sprouts and shrimps. But i just simplified it with shrimps, hard boiled eggs and the baby spinach. It is still taste good and feel good with just little MSG added.
