While I was busy trying to figure out the difference between Post and Page in Blogger.  DT decided to cook dinner with whatever we had in the fridge.  So a Hokkien man found some yellow noodles, crab sticks, dried shrimp, bean sprouts, frozen vegetables and Voilà.... Hokkien Fried Prawn Noodles (small dried shrimps, not prawn 😊)

连续几天没上超市，冰箱里所剩无几。DT决定用虾米豆芽炒面，于是这位福建先生就炒了一锅似模似样的“福建炒虾米面”。卖相，香味真不赖，但好咸哦！是他用心炒的，所以我还是吃了两盘。👍
