Mee Rebus

First of all let's change the word "Hubby" to "S"

I found it's quite mushy everytime i typed it... lol!!

"S" suddenly mumbled a lot of Tanjung Pinang's hawker foods few nights ago before sleeping

"When i go back to T.P, i want to eat bla bla bla....and bla bla bla...."

One of the food he mentioned was Mee Rebus

Then my brain was starting to work !!!

As i knew Mee Rebus isn't a complicated food to cook...

The next morning, i started to search for lots of recipe on the internet

I combined every recipe, added every ingredients to my recipe list as i thought will turn nice, then i made my own conclusion 

 "S" said it was nice but still lack of something - nutty flavour!!

"S" bro said it was like "Indian" food, haha... - i added curry powder in it (maybe i should discard it from my recipe next time)

I will never ask his little bro because everytime i did - he will say "nice-nice" even he hasn't touch the food...lol

So this is my first attempt!!
