Soupy goodness brings family recipe to mind

The stall operator said the dish was a taste from her hometown in the Yongchun County in the Fujian Province of China..

ONE of my family’s Chinese New Year traditions is to have mee hoon kueh for lunch on the second day of the celebrations.

My mum and aunts would tear thin bite-size pieces of dough into a large pot of anchovy-based broth, before topping each bowl with minced meat, sayur manis, fried onions and crispy anchovies – just the way my late grandmother used to make it.
