Pan Mee/ Tearaway or Pull-apart Noodle

June 07, 2011

pull-apart-noodle

"What would you like... for Mother's Day next week?" asked H, early last month... and I went.."ermmmm... let me think and I'll let you know"...

Gave a good thought...my Mother's Day treat.... Pan mee or tear-away /pull-apart noodle would be lovely
A meal to be shared by all...

H, being  a practical man... I accepted the fact that he will not bring home a bunch of lovely roses, he would just cut some from our garden... and secretly hoping to dig the rose bushes out too... To him, its a waste ~ as flowers wont last. 
Diamonds and gold? not that either... as he knows that I don't fancy those bling... bling...
Designer bags? I dont fancy that either... those days of wanting to look chic and cool... to be seen carrying one is over..

So what do I want or need?... My 'Want' list can go on and on and on... but 'Need'?... yeah Mr 'Need' always stop me in my track ... I have to be practical ...  living with pragmatic man ... as well as to set a good example to the kids, so they can be more prudent in digging the coffers...*cough*... our coffers ... and weigh their needs and wants too!!!

This is what I requested for Pan Mee/ Tearaway or Pull-apart Noodle

Pan mee

I missed having this noodle... the last time I had it was 5 years ago...there are many versions and variety...  the best Pan Mee, that I have tasted so far is in Oasis Food Court in Megamall Midvalley, Kuala Lumpur...

Note from H ~ there are a lot of ingredients... a lot of preparation... but in the end ... seeing the smiles of satisfaction on everyone's face... worth the while...

    I pun suka pan mee n pun selalu makan kat Midvalley tu. Pernah buat jugak masa kat sini sebab my anak2 pun suka. Kat MidValley Oasis Garden tu laksa penang dia pun sedap kan. Used to have lunch there because my old office was just nearby. MidValley was our lunch time favourite.

    yum yum, I never get fed up eating pan mee. I like to dip with basil sauce. 1 bunch oriental sweet basil leaves, 3 to 4 cloves garlic, bird eyes chili - chopped finely add sugar, salt, vinegar to taste. Keep chill in the fridge before use. Enjoy!

    Hi Lisa,

    That sounds like a wonderful (and creative) Mother's Day treat. I think the effort in making this dish worths more than a diamond,don't you agree? hehe!
    This is one my favourite dishes and it has been years since I had it too. Looks like I have another winter warmer potential in my pocket. :)

    Actually the best Pan Mee in KL is somewhere in the dodgy end of Chow Kit. They have two types of noodles, the thin one and thick one. Konlow (dry) is my favorite, with lots of their potent chili oil. :D
