A little nyonya.

This morning I unleashed the nyonya in me. I'm only 1/4 peranakan, so that makes me well, a little nyonya.

I made mee sua sama telur merah for Momma's birthday. Granny used to make it for my mum and her siblings when they were young.
It's very easy to make. First, I boiled the eggs. While the eggs were boiling, I boiled some water in a pot, added sugar, and pandan to make it fragrant. Then in a separate pot, I celur the mee sua. Once the eggs were boiled, I rolled them in a bowl of red clouring while the eggs are still hot, to ensure that the dye stays. Then I put the strained mee sua into a bowl, and poured the syrup over it.

The reason to have children: Teenage daughters.
