Aunty J cooked up a giant pot of mee siam and kept two portions for us. She said that the koo chye and sambal prawns were insufficient, and we should boil an egg or something to add on to the meal. The man and I didn't mind that at all. Aunty J's dry mee siam is superb. Eating it alone with tofu puffs would already be very tasty. We were super touched by her thoughts to fix us a good meal to send some cheer to the still-recuperating man.
When I opened up the boxes, I realized that the food could easily feed three people. Wow! Had to keep a portion for brunch the next day. I don't care about koo chye. I avoid it like laksa leaves and coriander. The box of koo chye was also more than enough to sprinkle over three plates. There was gravy of course, a generous amount of gravy separately packed in order for us to ladle our preferred amounts over the thick beehoon.
The sambal prawns weren't at all meagre. It filled up a small tub! Gorgeous rempah. The man would have more of that since he really like prawns. He has been craving for prawns, but held out eating shellfish since he was still recovering. We didn't bother with boiling eggs because there were eggs eaten at lunch. In the man's bowl, I added braised chicken breast and a piece of store-bought mackerel otah. Mine held a petai and anchovy otah. That made a perfectly delicious dinner.
