Taro and rice vermicelli noodle soup

This morning i was tried to search this recipe in my blog list, i seen in a Chinese blog before but i couldn't recall which blog. Bakeling was laughing at me while I msn with her. She said who asked you to list so many blogs in the blog list, hahaha..Anyway, i tried to recall the recipe and create this noodle soup and serve for dinner tonight! This is quite an old fashion of noodle soup, last time our Ah Mah (grandmother) like to cook this noodle soup. Anyway, this noodle soup was yummy!

I serve this noodle with a new type of veggi, it was strongly recommended by veggie store owner. The name of this veggi is call Green Dragon leaf, it taste quite similar to leek and it was good. You may replaced with spring onion or coriander leaves..

Also advise to cook this soup with thick Meehoon (rice vermicilli)..

Enjoy!! and Happy 111111....
