Meehoon Hailam

I was in a lazy mood this morning after a week of hardworking in the office and a lot of laundry to take care of course. Haah...(sigh) on the other hand, kids always look forward to a special breakfast in the weekend. Meehoon Hailam is the best solution as it is simple to prepare and I can just use whatever available in the kitchen without having to run to the market. Most importantly this is my family's favourite & I never fail to get compliments from my boys whenever I served this.
