Yee Mee with Campbell Soup
Noodle symbolizes 'long life' or longevity to the Chinese. This is mainly because it is lengthy. A noodle dish is very often served during wedding or birthday celebrations.
Noodles can be served in many ways: we can have it fried, soup or with gravy over it.
This dish ( Yee Mee with Campbell soup) is specially dedicated to my daughter Miko. A standby quick meal she can easily dish up if she is rushing to university and no time to cook in Singapore.
This dish is also for fans of Campbell soup. Only difference is it's done the Asian way.
