Mee Chiang Kueh

Mee Chiang Kueh, Mee Cheng Guay, Mian Jian Gao etc. This is Teochew breakfast stuff 40 years ago.
We were not allowed to eat anywhere other than the dinner table since its fillings fall everywhere. To prevent this mishap from happening, I make my filling slightly moist so that I keep my floor nice and clean. But things seem to have the ability to transfer themselves elsewhere, so I normally find the sweet fillings stuck to my face instead. Still, to play safe, don't eat this in the family car.
