Due to the hectic life-style and working culture most Singaporean prefer to have food out rather cooking at home. In every hosing estate there would be either a food court or hawker center selling local food till midnight.Kopi tiams in Singapore are also commonly found in almost all residential areas as well as some industrial and business districts where you can also find the local food as well .Indian Mee Goreng is only of the local taste bud of most people living there. It's yellow egg noodle cooked with bean sports,bean curd ,minced mutton and potatoes. I used have Mee Goreng whenever I feel like eating...simply delicious..Many restaurant do have Mee Goreng in their menu but it never taste the same as done in the hawker center and cheaper too. $2 per plate with fried egg as topping...hmmm...mouth-watering when thinking about it...well too bad I cannot go back to have Mee Goreng so I'm going to pamper myself with my version of Singapore Indian Mee Goreng..it will never taste the same as done there but a least I have and tried my level best to prepare them all by myself...I cannot find yellow noddles here so I will substitute with angel hair spaghetti for my recipe...it came out really well but I could get the red color..will try out some other time..so here's my version and instead of mic ed mutton I'm using grounded turkey.
