If you ask my kid what he wants to eat, chances are, he will tell you he wants “Meen-meen egg”; meaning noodle with egg. It’s his all-time favorite. I guess i can relate to that as i love a simple bowl of noodle with an egg too. Kinda like comfort food to me. Tonight is just another ordinary night with an ordinary request from my extraordinary kid. He walked up to me and told me “I want Meen-meen egg, Mama”. How can i refuse such an ordinary request, you tell me.

But tonight, the ordinary mom wants to make something out-of-the-ordinary for her extraordinary kid. And after getting the needed ingredients out, i had an idea to make him a Noodle Omelette. Prepared with all the same old ingredients, but with a different finished look. I used a packet of chicken flavored Maggi Mee Lite (MSG-free), two eggs and some minced pork marinated with Teriyaki Sauce. You can add vegetables if you like but my kid doesnt like it.

Here’s how i made the Noodle Omelette for my kid. First, i cooked the packet of instant noodle together with the packet of seasoning. Drain off the soup and set aside. I then fry the minced pork with my small Tefal 12cm egg frying pan till fragrant. Next, mix all three ingredients in a big bowl and add some McCormick Garlic Powder with Parsley (optional) to it.

To cook, pour the mixture slowly onto my Tefal stir-fry pan. Do not stir. Cook it over medium heat and make sure the bottom doesnt burn. Flip it over and cook the other side till it’s done, gaotim. Note, i didnt use oil in this Noodle Omelette recipe. Instead i rubbed the base of my Tefal Stir-fry pan with some olive oil before i pour the mixture into it so that i can move the Noodle Omelette easily.

This is how my Noodle Omelette like. I dont have any cheese at home. If not, i would transfer the Noodle Omelette to a plate after the bottom is done, top it with some cheese and place it into my Philips toaster oven and bake it for a few minutes till the cheese is browned. Sounds yummy hoh. If you have the time, you can even fry the mixture in smaller batches or make them into bite-sized nuggets. Makes a great snack. *keys in note into my Nokia N82 to go buy cheese on my next grocery shopping trip*

Up close and personal shot of my Noodle Omelette. Looks like a pizza hoh. It’s really tasty and both my kids enjoyed it very much. At least i managed to get this shot after i finshed washing everything up. I only got a small bite *sulks*. Haih… what’s new. Happiness is seeing them enjoying their food. If you have picky eaters, this Noodle Omelette may get them to eat. Just add whatever you want to this simple Noodle Omelette Recipe to make it different. Cooking for kids sure’s fun, eh.

Malcolm loves this cereal. You know, this lil fler. He doesnt really like to eat much. He’s already two years old, and still prefers to tag onto my breast, sigh. This is why i buy him this Greenmax Yam Multi Grains Cereal each time i go to the organic shop. He wont eat this each day. Sometimes, he can finish the whole bowl of cereal. If not, Gordon will eat everything for him.

I love this Greenmax Yam Multi Grains Cereal too as it contains a lot of vegetables. It’s a complete meal all on its own. Sometimes, i will add some organic sesame oil to it. Once in a while, i will add a little Marmite to it for added flavor. Eaither way, both my kids likes to eat this Greenmax Yam Multi Grains Cereal very much.

This is how the packet of Greenmax Yam Multi Grains Cereal looks like. Do give it a try. It’s a great and convenient snack. Better than eating instant noodles when hungry, eh. A packet of 16 sachets only costs Rm16 or so. Nutritious and delicious.

This Tai Kau Meen stall is located right outside Nam Heong Coffeeshop in Ipoh Oldtown. I had to go to the yarn store to get my knitting and crochet projects checked and stopped by at the coffeeshop for lunch. And since we entered the coffeeshop from the rear side entrance, i didnt notice this Tai Kau Meen stall until hubby wanted to go to 7-11 a few doors away and i followed him there after we’ve had our food.

I was already full as i had a plate of Penang Char Koay Teow and a bowl of lousy (by Ipoh standard) Chicken Noodle Soup. Tai Kau Meen is best eaten the moment it’s prepared. So, didnt bother to buy any. But will definitely buy some on my next trip to the yarn store next week.
