Mum made a nice mee sua in ikan billis broth with Pig's Kidneys (my favorite!) and Loin Meat. She also added Corriender (or Cilantro as some says) and spring onions into the soup.
The special occasion for mee sua and red hard boiled eggs was cos, Mum and I decided to 'celebrate' our birthdays earlier, since I'm leaving on Thursday. Mum's date is 24/9 and mine's 25/9, so it is always a breeze to celebrate both of ours together! Lunar calender wise, I am in the eight month and mum's in the second July (akin to a leap year where the second July only appears after certain years, so theoretically, the second July is to make up for the lost days over the few years to balance out the 12 month calender system)
Amazing how Mum's food will always taste the best, and despit all my rants and complaint,sI really do love my Mum's cookings! Will so miss her leng tong (boiled soups Cantonese style) when I'm overseas. Hate local soups, water and some food pieces and you call that soup! But can hardly blame them since nice Cantonese style soups are so rare here since majority are Hokkiena and Teochews. Hong Kong is one lace where you can get decent soup everywhere!
Mum, i already know what I want to eat on Thursday befor I flyt off for 4 months! I want your diced chicken with cashew nuts, boiled soup with beet root or old cucumber, and stir fried sweet potatoe sprouts!
