Oops ! I forgot to put on shredded lettuce ! :-D
* In my previous cooking, I added lime for a more intense sour taste. However, I find that Ernest always have throat irritation at night each time after having the Jawa mee. He has no throat irritation after I eliminated lime into the cooking. Thus, I guess, he is allergy to lime.
Wanna give a try ?
