Silver Needle Noodles (老鼠粉/銀針粉/米苔目)

After church, we went to our favourite HK style cafe for lunch. Mom ordered a stir fry silver needle noodles, she gave me a small bowl to tried. As I was eating the noodle, I know what we're going to have for dinner *hehe*

Tonight dinner is one of my favourite comfort food - homemade lao shu fen (Silver Needle Noodles).
