This is not a recipe post, but found this video funny (as in replacing the lyrics with names of various hawker food, and sang in Hokkien). Enjoy

This is a very easy breakfast or snack to make.

Ingredients (serve 2-3)

1. 2 eggs
2. 2 tablespoon sugar
3. 6 slice of white bread
4. some oil for pan frying

Method

1. Crack the 2 eggs on a plate that has slight depth.  Add in sugar and whisk with spoon or fork till sugar dissolved.
2. Heat up a frying pan, add some oil.
3. For ever slice of bread, dip it into the egg to coat both sides.  Do not press to allow the bread to absorb the egg, just dip and allow the sides to be coated with eggs.  Put immediately on the pan to fry flip over when lightly brown,
4. Serve warm.
5. You can eat it just like that, or spread with peanut butter, or drip with honey,

This was posted on request by one of WeryNice readers (name withheld), thanks for your email.  This is a very common hawker food in Singapore and you can find this in most hawker centers.  Don’t know when it started, but hawkers are already selling this since the 70’s as I recalled.

Ingredients (serve 2)

1. 1 bowl Yellow noodles
2. 1 bowl Bee hoon (thick or thin are ok, I prefer thin)
3. 250 grams Pork belly
4. 8 mid size prawn
5. 1 mid size Squid (sotong)
6. 2 eggs
7. 4 table spoon soya sauce
8. 1 teaspoon salt
9. 4 bowls water (some will dry up in cooking)
10. 4 garlic
11. 5 tablespoon oil (lard can be use for better taste)
12. chilli paste, and calamansi for serving

Method

1. Wash the pork belly, prawn and squid. For the squid cut away the eyes and also using fingers, squeeze out the little ball from the mouth of the squid.  Pull out the head and remove the internals. Peel off the skin with help of finger nails of a small knife.
2. Bring the water to boil in a pot, add in salt, put in the pork belly and simmer for 1 hr.  Remove the pork belly and set a side.  Put in the prawn and squid to boil for 10 mins until cook.  Remove and set aside.  Keep the stock, strain it over a sieve if necessary.
3. Remove the shell of the prawn and set a side.  Cut the pork into thin strips (1/2 cm thick) and cut the squid into rings.
4. Peel and chop garlic.
5. Heat up wok, and add in some oil and chopped garlic and fry till fragrant. Add in yellow noodles and bee hoon and fry. Add in the soya sauce.  Using the stirrer cut the noodles into short strands (or you can cut before cooking).
6. Move the noodles to a side or scoop it out, add the remaining oil and crack in the eggs to fry.  Scramble the eggs immediately, and allow it to fry till solid.  Mix in the noodles, and add in the stock.  Cover the work and allow it to simmer for 5 mins,
7. Open the cover, add in the pork, prawn, squid and stir.  Add more soya sauce to taste if required.  Serve on plate.
8. Before eating, mix with chilli paste (easier to buy from supermarket for small amount, best with dried shrimps or belachan), and freshly squeeze calamansi.

My mom used to make this for me on my birthday. Rice noodles (mee sua) being very long has an auspicious meaning of long life, hence eaten on birthdays.  This is one of my favourite, taste of mom’s cooked food! 

Ingredients (serve 2)

1. 10 dried oyster
2. 10 mushroom
3. 2 tablespoon of dried shrimps
4. 2 bowls chicken stock (boil with chicken bone, chicken legs for 3 hours)
5. 2 - 4 bunch of Mee sua (depends on your serving size and appetite)
6. 2 eggs
7. Salt to taste

Method

1. Prepare the stock, either using ready made (stock cubes, or stock in cartons) or make your own by boiling with chicken bone and chicken legs for 3 hours.
2. Rinse the mushroom, dried oyster, and dried shrimp. Soak for 2-3 hours with water in separate bowls (just enough water to cover them, except mushroom that will float)
3. Cut and discard away the stem of the mushroom. Cut into halves if they are big.
4. Fry “pocket eggs”, which is frying the egg like sunny side up, but before it is fully cooked, fold into half like a semi circle, hence pocketing the egg yoke inside, and continue frying until cook.
5. Bring the stock to boil, add in the dried oyster, dried shrimp, mushroom, with the water that was used to soak them into the stock and boil.  (You pour the water in slowly, as there may be some sand at the bottom after soaking and you can discard them).  Simmer for 30 mins.
6. Add in the fry eggs and boil for another 5 mins. Add salt to taste.
7. In a separate pot, boil a pot of water.  When boiled, throw in the noodles (mee sua) and move it around to loosen.  Let it boil for about 2 mins, and remove the noodles and strain dry. 
8. Put noodles in a bowl and pour in the soup with the ingredients (oyster, mushroom, shrimps, egg).
9. Serve hot.
