Homemade Pan Mian(板 麺)

Picture of dried "Pan Mian" and the kick ass sambal belacan in Masak-Masak's blog just made me want to go back to KL to have my fix. But I just have to cook my version of "Pan Mian" here as there is no dried "Pan Mian" in Singapore.

Maybe I should try to buy the "Pan Mian" from the hawker stall and save me the trouble and time in making the "Pan Mian" by myself. Hehe....cannot imagine the expression of the stall owner when I say "Auntie, I need "Pan Mian" for two persons but not the soup, take away please?"

My first attempt is a success as K asked for one more but I ran out of "Pan Mian" and substituted with wanton mee noddles instead which turned out to be very good too.
