Simple Mee Suah Soup For A Sick Mummy


Simply boil some water in a small pot, once water boils, add in the pork slices (had earlier marinated with some soy sauce, a little egg white and corn starch). Once the pork is cooked, add in one small bundle of mee suah(put under running tap water to wash as its a bit salty if u don't wash it, then only add into the boiling soup)  and season with just a pinch of salt. Ready in 2 mins.

Just a small bowl of mee suah and I feel better after eating.
 I am sick! My throat is burning, my rib cage is painful due to the constant bad cough. I feel weak and I am running a fever and yet I am still feeling hungry. Maybe its due to the medication, my tummy is rumbling. I need to eat something and everytime, when I am sick I tend to miss what my late father would have prepared for me when I fall sick, when I was still young. I miss him terribly. Its so sad for someone to be sick and have to prepare her own food because there's no other people at home except a little 4 year old.

Likes to eat this because its light and soupy & not oily at all. Funny thing is, its tasty eventhough its just some salt for seasoning. And the soup warms my stomach up and soothes my palate and throat. Maybe its the effect of the salt or maybe its the thought of my late father. Its comforting though I feel a bit sad now thinking of him.
