I remember the very first time i made noodle soup. It happened in far far away, most crazy time zone (compared to mine), someone I've strong feeling with (the reason why i was there)..and yet I made the most lousy noodle soup. haha. What an irony right?
I still remember his comment was "uh..it'ok, it taste just like salt" - ok i deserved it, it was embarassing but at least i know I'm real lousy. Shouldn't have made such a lousy meal to someone first taste your cooking. Days past, I realized he's a good cook. He cook tasty, he has skill.
3 years later...I'm satisfied with my progress of cooking. Ok, that's MINE progress. From someone who never explore cooking (timing isn't right - This is the best excuse i could give) in her entire life till able to make asian fusion, italian (pasta only), authentic chinese. Well, at least something. haha. I start making noodle soup today (something i figured out finally how to make a good soup base). It's well known chinese favorite - pan mee. I figured out, once you used to cook, it come naturally to you on what spices to use to make your dishes good.
actually this was my third attempt. The first attempt was the noodle is too thick (since it's on pinch type) and the base was awful, the second attempt was the noodle still too thick. Today, i put extra effort, I made the flour overnight. It turn out so soft and well the next day. The soup was fantastic and the noodle was excellent, except, if chinese dishes criterias consist of Look, Smell & Taste, guess i've failed the criteria of "Look"hmm. Well well well.
I bet the next time i make again, it could be servde publicly:)
P/S: I recalled the dim sum place..only have vague impression but it was memorable
