Resepi     : Kerabu Bee Hoon (Rice Noodle Salad)

Selamat tengahari semua.... dah makan ke belum? Kalau belum, meh sini datang dapur Amie... kita makan kerabu bee hoon sama - sama. Sebenarnya dah lama mengidam nak makan kerabu bee hoon ni setelah melihat dalam buku resepi Famous Street Food of Penang. This is essentially a vermicelli salad, flavoured with the Thai-influenced dressing of lime juice and sambal belacan. Rasanya, kerabu ini juga is a typically Penang Peranakan dish. Resepi ini hasil air tangan Madame Ch'ng Siew Poh yang mempelajari daripada ibu mertuanya. Hmmm... kalau betul caranya, memang sangat sedap tau.... jangan lupa masukkan perahan air limau tu, dan lagi satu bubuh cili api lebih sikit... baru berasap telinga masa makan! Auuuwwwwww...
