Frozen Traditional Knife-Cut Noodles!

L thoughtfully checked with me on my freezer space situation before sending over four packs of frozen noodles from dotdotbowl. I felt a tad bad making her spend on shipping for just four packs; I really didn't have space for more. These were rather big packs and my freezer space was extremely limited. 

I didn't know anything about this webstore till tonight. I asked for the traditional knife-cut noodles (刀削麵). L sent over two types — one regular with veggies and minced meat and a fishcake, and another with an additional pack of seafood. Both chilli paste. I like how the ingredients are split in separate plastic packs. Not exactly environmentally friendly, but it is practical and hygienic, securely packed and coherent.

The dotdotbowl packs arrived at 6.15pm! Wow. We were staying in to wait for Choya's frozen packs of food to arrive too, and would be getting take-out. The man was just going to toddle downstairs at 7pm to get something simple. Now that the noodle packs arrived so early, we might as well have them. 

I heated these packs up in a pot. Since the man's pack held seafood, I heated them up separately for him and for me. For my own bowl, I didn't add extra stuff except an egg and fried ikan bilis from the larder. For the man, I threw in an egg too, additional frozen scallops, and upon serving, topped it with chilli paste, the shallots provided, and ikan bilis as well. The broth is good and surprisingly not overly salted.
