First day of Chinese New Year-Foo chow style

During the first day of Chinese New Year, according to the foo chow's tradition (according to my grandfather perhaps), we need to take "mee sua"(longevity noodles) with chicken soup. :) super yummy...hehe...

first, the noodles are put into the boiling water to cook it.

then, the noodles are taken up from the boiling water...lol


then the noodles are mixed with the well cooked chicken soup...

everyone will get one bowl! hehe...here's the trick, if u want to eat less noodles, finish the noodles fast, if you finish the noodles slowly, the noodles will keep on increasing as the time goes. why? cause the water will soak the noodles and expand the noodles thus making the noodles seem longer! hehee...

and of course, we eat with the chicken as well....very tasty! super like it. you all should try! heheh...

Happy Chinese New Year once again! Gong Xi Gong Xi. :D
