We had mee suah...it's a dish traditionally taken during birthdays, births basically to symbolize long life and prosperity among the Fuchows. People eat mee suah in different ways... me
, being a fuchow usually eat mee suah with the red ang-chiu. We gathered at a good friend's place who also is a great cook. Being invited to have a 'makan' at her place is always a treat and something we look forward to.Anyway, another nice way of eating mee suah is just to eat it dry....just add garlic oil into it. No need to add anything else. The taste is great and goes down well with kids.
We also had it the typical Fuchow way, with red wine.
And you can tell that it is nice when friends who were having it for the first time took second helpings. 8) But not to the kids-lah..since young taste buds these days are more sohisticated or maybe just plain 'westernized'.Good food...great company....this is indeed one of life's blessings.

u know, mi sua is one of the things i miss most. I can get most of the ingredients EXCEPT for proper home brewed red rice wine. even so, using Shao Hsing rice wine from the Chinese Supermarket is not too bad. Cavebaby loves mi sua and always asks for 2nd helpings!
Spoken like a true Fuchow....and Cavebaby definitely daughter of one.. 8) My little rainbow doesn't know how to eat with the soup yet...she takes hers with garlic only....
i love mee suah so much, and what my aunt does is buy all the ingredients to make the rice wine from home, and made some here herself... then cooks for us too, which is so sweet of her!
cannot bring it from home...make it there...great idea..
didnt have second helping cause was full and afraid of being drunk.got to go school the next day while some got to work... =P
