A traditional dish at every visit. Hours of standing in heat and muscle work. The night before, prawns are peeled and cleaned, millions of them. A truck load of chilli and spices go into a clay pot (and it HAS to be a clay pot according to my MIL) and the prawns are then stirred in for a few hours till midnight, then left to sit overnight. Your hand muscles literally ACHE the next day. Plus it must be stirred at a certain speed, no kidding.
The next morning, all the Mee Siam condiments are prepared and the thick, tasty gravy is cooked again.
I’ve tasted lots of Mee Siams around the world, including that cooked by myself, but I must say, this is the absolute BEST Mee Siam in the whole wide world.
I guess I should really learn how to cook it, huh?
This year, I’ll take better pictures of MILs famous Mee Siam! And see if she’ll share her recipe…..
